3. WIRE ROPE

4. WIRE ROPES
Wire ropes are made by twisting individual steel
wires into strands, which are then twisted
together to form a rope.
Wire ropes are known for their high tensile
strength and durability. They can withstand
heavy loads and are resistant to wear and
abrasion.

5. Wire ropes are commonly used in cranes,
elevators, suspension bridges, ziplines, tow lines,
and in industries like construction, mining, and
maritime.
Regular inspection and lubrication are crucial to
ensure the longevity and safe operation of wire
ropes. Proper maintenance helps detect wear
and potential weaknesses.

6. TYPES
• General-Purpose Wire Ropes
• Rotation-Resistant Wire Ropes
• Non-Rotating Wire Ropes
• Galvanized Wire Ropes
• Stainless Steel Wire Ropes
• Compacted Wire Ropes
• Plastic-Coated Wire Ropes
• Elevator Ropes
• Aircraft Cables
• Mining Ropes
• Oil and Gas Ropes

7. CHAIN

8. Chains
Chains consist of interconnected links typically
made of steel, though they can also be made
from other materials like alloy, stainless steel, or
plastic.
Chains are strong and durable, suitable for
withstanding heavy loads and high tension. The
design and size of the links play a role in
determining their capacity.

9. Chains are widely used in applications
like hoisting, towing, securing loads, and
in mechanical systems.
Chains require regular lubrication to reduce
friction, prevent corrosion, and ensure smooth
operation. Inspecting for wear and damaged
links is also crucial for safety.

10. TYPES
