Advantages of steel wire rope


There are plenty of lifting and hoisting equipment present in the market, in a variety of  materials, lengths, strengths, and with various special functions. The steel wire rope  in question stands as one of the sturdiest, most reliable and most efficient solutions to offer due to this wire ropes comes for some heavy operations like wire rope for cranes, Lift Elevator Wire Ropes, Underground Mining Wire Ropes and few more variations as per the operation; here we look below at major advantages of the steel wire rope :


Wire rope is less likely to break
The biggest of the advantages of wire rope is that it is made up of a few  strands woven together, which itself is  constructed by weaving together several wires. 
This creates a sturdy material that is formed from multiple wires with a core in between, with this core providing great reserve strength. This is why steel  wire ropes for cranes and other heavy operations are used.


Weighs less
Another advantage of steel wire rope is that despite its increased level of strength, it has minimal weight for the same size compared to something like an iron chain, without compromising its effectiveness. Despite its low weight wire rope  still has great flexibility and becomes ideal for use as Lift Elevator Wire Ropes. 

Longer service life 

Even though metal chains can also handle a large load but if one link in that chain breaks or suffers a defect, then the whole length of the chain is of no  use. If wires or a strand within a wire rope breaks or snaps, the load can still be supported by the rest of the strands, especially the strong core that is why Underground Mining Wire Ropes are better than iron chains.


Wide variety

Wire rope comes in different  shapes and sizes, with various  cores, lays, strands, and diameters as well as different ways of utilising your rope. This shows it’s highly adaptable nature is useful for a number of different industries, including in farming, shipping, manufacturing, forestry,construction and various others.

Our range


The advantages listed above are the main benefits of using steel wire rope, and each goes a long way in making ropes efficient and safe in any industry that they are used in. To find various kinds of wire rope and their specifications click here

All about Chain Slings

Wire rope slings and Alloy steel chain slings  are one of the most common types of lifting slings used for lifting. They are used for lifting heavy items on work sites. When using a chain to build a sling the tolerance for chain is considered as its main building block of the sling.

Wire rope slings are available in one, two, three and four leg configurations. There are various components used in the making of chain sling some of them being head ring used at the top of the sling, chain connectors.
When using a chain sling it is important to make sure you are using the correct chain sling. The angle at which the load is lifted matters a lot. The wider the angle, lesser the working load limit.

 When used in rigorous material handling applications, chain can easily become corroded or worn. It is always mandatory to inspect the chain slings for defects on regular basis before using it to ensure safe lifting. If the chain corrodes it leads to the decreased strength of the chain.

Stretch or elongation are clear signs of overloading. A standard such as ASME B30.9 Slings links stretch or elongation as one of the reason a of removing wire rope slings, alloy steel chain slings from service.

The reason for corrosion are many, one of them being coming in contact with harsh chemicals, water or when it is used in tough environments.

Wear can happen only in part of the link that is in contact with another surface. There are two points where corrosion can occur majorly

 1) At the bearing points of interlink contact
 2) On the outsides of the chain

When the wire rope slings, Alloy steel chain slings or any kind of sling  gets corroded the next step is to determine how severe  the damage is and if the chain can still be safely used or not.

Generally surface corrosion can be removed by cleaning and oiling the chain.

So, while choosing a chain sling we should make sure to use one having high tensile strength as it has many advantages, they are strong, reliable, flexible and if taken proper care they can last long.

There are many rope slings manufacturers in India. Balbir Singh and sons are ISO & CE Certified Distributors and suppliers of high grade Usha Martin chain slings and Wire rope slings.
