This SecureFix Direct Galvanised Steel Wire Rope is designed for industrial and commercial users needing a robust and flexible solution for demanding applications. Its primary benefit is the combination of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance provided by its 7x7 galvanised steel core and clear PVC coating. A key consideration is its specific diameter and length, which must match project requirements.

The specific breaking strength (or Minimum Breaking Load - MBL) depends on the exact configuration and termination methods used. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications or test the assembly under load conditions.
This wire rope is designed for general-purpose use, rigging, and security applications. For critical lifting applications, consult specific engineering guidelines and ensure the rope and termination are certified for overhead lifting.
Use specialized wire rope cutters or a sharp blade. To prevent fraying, wrap the rope tightly with tape on either side of the cut line before cutting.
'7x7' refers to the rope's construction: seven strands, each composed of seven individual wires. This configuration offers a good balance between flexibility and strength.
The product description does not specify food-grade certification for the PVC coating. It is primarily designed for industrial, marine, and security uses. For food applications, specialized food-grade cables are required.
Store the reel in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and potential damage. Ensure the remaining rope is neatly wound and protected from dust and moisture.
Ensure the wire rope is not excessively cold, as extreme cold can temporarily reduce flexibility. For prolonged stiffness, check for internal damage or excessive corrosion, which may require replacement.
Minor surface abrasions may not impact structural integrity, but significant damage indicates compromised corrosion resistance. Assess the load and environment; consider replacing the section or the entire rope if critical to safety or performance.
Check that the pulley groove is clean and the correct size for the coated rope diameter. Lubrication is generally not recommended on PVC-coated ropes as it can attract dirt; ensure the rope is clean and the pulley is in good condition.
Setup: This wire rope is typically used with appropriate termination fittings such as ferrules, swaged sleeves, or clamps. Ensure the chosen termination method is rated for the wire rope's breaking strength. For pulley systems, confirm that the pulley groove diameter is compatible with the 3mm coated diameter of the rope to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear.
Compatibility: The 2mm (3mm coated) diameter is compatible with standard fittings and pulleys designed for this size range. It is suitable for use in marine, industrial, and commercial settings. Avoid using with abrasive materials or in extreme temperature environments where the PVC coating might be compromised.
Care: Inspect the wire rope regularly for any signs of damage, such as cuts, kinks, fraying, or damage to the PVC coating. Clean the rope periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that could cause abrasion. Store the reel in a dry place away from direct sunlight and chemical exposure. If used in corrosive environments, rinse with fresh water after exposure and dry thoroughly.
