Wire Ropes
At Brikksen, we believe stainless steel is the ideal material for wire ropes. Stainless steel is extremely strong like most of the materials used in other rope or cables, but it's also extremely resistant to corrosion. If you're looking for industrial strength wire ropes or wire ropes for marine environments, we have what you need. In marine applications, wire rope is used for rigging and running as well as for handrails and guardrails. Since people often come in contact with these devices, it's important to make sure they're safe and secure. With human lives on the line, it's essential to use the best possible materials. The last thing you want to do is install wires that fray or malfunction when you least expect it. When ordering wire ropes, there are a few terms that are commonly used to describe size and strength. When distributors refer to "wire," they are referring to the threads used in the rope. The term "strand" refers to a bundle of wires twisted into a whole. "Core" is the term used to describe several strands wrapped around a central area to make up a wire rope. One final term, "lay," refers to a single, complete wrap of strand around the core of the rope. Our trained sales professionals can help you understand the terminology used for ordering wire ropes, as well as industry-wide specifications. When you order wire rope from another distributor, you run the risk of ordering the wrong size or rope strength for your needs. One way to tell if you're currently using defective ropes is to inspect them. If you find kinks, broken strands, or broken wires, you need to replace your rope today.
