6X36 is a flexible general engineering wire rope readily available in galvanised, unglavanised and marine grade stainless steel. The wire rope has an equal lay construction (warrington seale) and achieves a superior breaking load to the 6X19 construction range. The construction has been designed to give a flexible rope with a good fatigue life. A 6X36 wire rope is available with either FC (fibre core) or IWRC (independent wire rope core) and is used for a wide range of applications, examples of which are shown below:
Wire rope slings
General engineering applications
Crane ropes
Hoist rope
Winch ropes
Holding and closing ropes for grab cranes
Tow ropes
Luffing ropes
Pursing wires
Mooring ropes
Lifeboat falls
Wire rope rigging applications
