This 4mm x 50-metre galvanised steel wire rope cable is designed for general-purpose use where a balance of strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance is needed. It's ideal for outdoor and marine applications, offering a tensile strength of 1960 N/mm². While highly versatile, it requires appropriate accessories like hooks and rigging screws for secure attachment.

'6 X 19' refers to the construction of the rope: 6 outer strands, each containing 19 individual wires. 'FC' stands for Fibre Core, indicating the material at the center of the rope.
This wire rope is rated for general-purpose use and has a high tensile strength. However, for critical lifting operations, specific engineering assessments and certifications are required. Always consult load charts and safety guidelines, and use appropriate lifting accessories.
Galvanisation is a process of coating steel with zinc. The zinc acts as a sacrificial barrier, corroding preferentially to the steel, thus protecting the wire rope from rust and environmental degradation, especially in damp or salty conditions.
The tensile strength of this wire rope is 1960 N/mm² (Newtons per square millimetre).
Yes, the galvanised steel construction makes it highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for marine environments and use in saltwater.
It is best to store the wire rope on its reel in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its condition.
A fibre core provides greater flexibility to the wire rope compared to an independent wire rope core (IWRC). It also helps to absorb shock loads and vibrations.
Avoid creating kinks by not twisting the rope unnecessarily. If a kink is present, do not use the rope under load as it compromises its strength. Straighten gently if for non-critical applications, but replacement is recommended for safety.
Light surface rust on galvanised rope can occur but is generally not detrimental. Clean and consider applying a wire rope lubricant for added protection. Significant pitting or deep rust indicates damage and may require replacement.
Ensure you are using the correct size and type of end fitting for 4mm wire rope. Verify that your swaging or crimping tool is appropriate and properly adjusted for secure attachment.
Check for sharp edges on surrounding structures or fittings. Ensure the rope is not rubbing against abrasive surfaces. Inspect the rope for any underlying damage that may have caused internal wires to break.
