35x7 Trailer Rope Construction

Having 35 strands containing 7 wires in each strand this wire rope is ultra flexible and perfect in more complex pulley systems. We use the high strength 2160 wire rope for these trailer ropes.

As well as being a compacted rope it is also non-rotating; the strands are organized in 3 layers with the outer and inner layers being twisted/laid in the same direction (clockwise for example). The middle layer is laid in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise).

This type of opposite laid layers forms what is called a non-rotation or rotation resistant rope.

Benefits to Non-Rotation Rope

When loads are applied to standard rope there will be some stretch/lengthening of wires due to the forces implied on them, as well as some twisting, some may spin quite quickly which can be hazardous and detrimental to load safety.

Non-rotating wire rope on the other hand avoid this type of scenario due to the opposite laid wires. This ultra strong rope provides load stability and precision with optimum flexibility and is ideal for lifting and hoisting operations as well as more complex applications

Compacted Rope Benefits

Compacted undergoes a process which flattens the outer strands and reduces any voids within the wire layers, this increases the contact area of all strands. The rope becomes much smoother, easier to handle and most importantly – stronger but with a smaller diameter than a standard rope.

Key benefits to a compacted rope include;

• higher breaking load strength
• smaller diameters
• Good crush resistance
• high bend fatigue resistance
• easier to handle
• Excellent resistance to wear and abrasion
• Ideal for very heavy loads
• minimal occurence of wire breakage
• longer working life
• easier spooling/winding
• minimises dirt and other substance ingress between wires

Lorry Ropes Available

Starting out at 10mm in diameter and increasing up to a huge 48mm these are some of our largest and strongest ropes. Any length can be provided with any end termination. We make these trailer ropes to order to your precise specifications. Popular terminations include swaged terminals such as studs, toggles, forks and eye terminals; sockets and thimble eyes are also options.
