Engineers, who create wire rope, design wire ropes with different grades of steel, finishes, and resistances in to attain the most durable and sturdy wire. Different styles of wire rope have varying crush rates, abrasion rates, bending fatigue, and corrosion resistances.
If you’re in the rigging industry, you’ve likely had similar thoughts. Over the next few weeks, we’ll talk repeatedly about what the future of our field might look like. Today, we want to talk specifically about wire rope slings.
These flexible steel cords have become commonplace in hoisting, towing, and anchoring projects. However, a decrease in all rigging equipment purchases has many wire rope sling manufacturers asking, “What does the future of this product look like?”
As key producers of wire rope slings in the rigging industry, we at Holloway Houston Inc. want to take a look at the growing importance of wire rope slings and what we can expect from them over the next couple of years – if not longer.
The first thing we need to address is the division between galvanized wire ropes and stainless steel wire ropes in the sling industry. Wire rope slings might be an overall popular rigging tool, but in order for manufacturers to make smart bets about the future, we need to understand both types and how they’re useful.
Stainless steel wire ropes are also corrosion-resistant but more durable when it comes to harsh environmental conditions. Stainless steel can even withstand long exposure to saltwater and acid.
Generally, manufacturers who produce galvanized wire ropes sell predominantly to the aircraft industry. In fact, the 7×7 galvanized wire rope has been dubbed the “aircraft cable” because of its tough construction and flexibility.
On the other hand, stainless steel wire ropes are the best option for work sites that need the strongest product. It’s known for its high durability and safety features, which means many of the best brands for lifting accessories are interested in producing stainless steel options for years to come.
All things considered; we see places for both kinds of wire rope slings in the near future. Still, we’ll continue to monitor trends in one direction or the other.
A big part of understanding the future of wire rope slings is looking at their current usage. Right now, most companies are using wire rope slings because they are:
One big industry that seems to benefit substantially from these features is offshore service. Almost every aspect of offshore (and subsea) operations involves some sort of lifting, whether its a complicated heavy lift or a simple movement of stores and spares.
Wire rope slings, especially when made of stainless steel, are the perfect rigging slings for coastal or at-sea conditions. They’re resistant to salt abrasion and strong enough to handle the enormous loads of many marine job sites. There are even certified divers that use wire rope slings to confidently tackle difficult lifting operations under the ocean waves.
Still, between 2019 and 2025, it’s estimated that oil demand will increase. A higher increase for oil means more rigging projects on drilling platforms – and therefore more use of highly durable, strong wire rope slings.
You’ll also find that many construction sites rely heavily on wire rope slings. They need durability and resistance – especially in harsh weather conditions.
In the future, our teams at Holloway Houston Inc. predict that wire rope slings will continue to become increasingly customizable as we learn to make them more resistant to moisture, heat, UV rays, and a variety of chemicals.
The slowdown in world economic growth has certainly thrown a wrench into many manufacturers’ budgets and sales. However, wire rope slings sales have maintained a relatively optimistic growth rate for years, and we expect to see a steady demand for the product – pandemic or not.
Some experts, according to the Wire Rope Slings Sale Market Size 2020 Analysis, even believe that in the next few years, the wire rope slings sales market will rise at a considerable rate.
Considering that, our teams at Holloway Houston Inc. will continue to include wire rope slings in our rigging equipment designs and sales for the foreseeable future.
Making any kind of prediction is difficult during 2020, but we feel confident in the continuous demand for wire rope slings as one of the most reliable pieces of rigging hardware.

Ensure that wire rope slings have suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitch, and environment in which they will be used and that they are not used with loads in excess of the rated load capacities described in the appropriate tables. When D/d ratios (Fig. 4) are smaller than those listed in the tables, consult the sling manufacturer. Follow other safe operating practices, including:
When D/dratios (see Fig. 6) smaller than those cited in the tables are necessary, ensure that the rated load of the sling is decreased. Consult the sling manufacturer for specific data or refer to the WRTB (Wire Rope Technical Board) Wire Rope Sling Users Manual, and
Rope Services Direct supplies a variety of anti-spin non rotating wire rope (also called rotation resistant wire-rope). All standard rope wirehas a tendency to develop torque and therefore prone to rotation, whereas non-rotating wire ropes are designed so that the wire-rope outer rotational force naturally counteracts the inner strands rotational force. This is in the event that a rope is subjected to a load.
Rope elongation and rotation occurs on standard ropes when loaded, which can therefore spin the load, quite possibly out of control, which can be dangerous. When the rope rotates in this way the strands will begin to unravel. This causes the rope to lose strength and will undoubtedly fail, which could be catastrophic. It is for these reasons that non rotating wire rope is commonly used for many types of lifting applications including main hoist rope, whip rope,crane rope, off-shore and deck rope and more.
Non rotating wire rope or rotation resistant wire rope has a different construction to standard. as wires and strands are not laid in the same direction like they would be on standard rope. Inner and outer strands of wires are laid in opposite directions. For example the inner may be constructed in left hand lay whilst the outer layer is in right hand lay. The nature of this construction means that torsional forces on the inner and outer wires/strands will counteract each other and therefore minimising the risk of unraveling.
It is worth noting that the number of strand layers will have an effect of the resistance of rotation. A 2 layer rope has less resistance than a 3 layer rope. Therefore the more layers the rope has the greater rotation resistance it will have.
These types of ropes can be classified as spin resistant, rotation resistant or non rotation resistant. Classed on the basis of the number of rotations a certain length of rope does when a force of 20% of the MBF is applied; with 1 turn or less the rope will be classified as non rotating; with rotations between 1 & 4 the rope is classed as low rotation and for rotations between 4 & 10 the rope will be classified as spin resistant, any higher and the rope is NOT rotation resistant at all.
Correct usage and care with handling will prolong the working life. This is due to the friction on the inner wires caused by the strand crossover’s which will eventually cause the inner wires to break up. This is more apparent on non rotating wire rope with two layers. Ropes with 3 or more strand layers will distribute the radial pressures more evenly. Which will reduce friction and stress on the inner wires.
Regular,thorough inspectionsof non rotating rope are essential due to the fact that it is the inner strands that often break first and broken internal wires often go unnoticed as they are difficult to see.Rope Services Direct offer inspectionson all rope with certification issued on completion.
Holding both ends of the rope will prevent unraveling. Correctly fitted terminations will help to prevent damage. Kinking and unraveling may occur and they can also have an effect on the rotational balance if not fitted correctly.
There are a variety of cables and wires that are used for various purposes. They can either be hidden underground or pass overhead. Crane Cable is one such cable wire rope made out of several strands of metal wires that are twisted together into a helix form to make them into a single rope. Initially, wrought iron was used to make these Crane Cables however, these days steel is the primary material used. Apart from this high carbon steel and galvanized steel are also used in manufacturing these cables. Dents or flaws in the ordinary link chain can lead to severe failure whereas, damage in these EOT Crane Cablecan be easily covered up. Ther are ideally used for lifting elevators, in the transmission of mechanical power, and in cranes.
Crane Lifting Cables are resistant to corrosion and have excellent ductility for optimal fatigue. They have a high breaking strength compared to steel crane wire rope. The radially elastic rope structure absorbs the dynamic force thus giving it high impact resistance. Crane Cable Wires are said to be cost-effective as a strong and durable structure helps in reducing maintenance costs and downtime. They can be coated with bright phosphate or galvanized depending upon the customers’ requirements.
Crane Electrical Cable is available in rotating, rotation, compact, or non-compact structures. Most of the wire ropes have the tendency of developing torque and are thus prone to rotation. However, non-rotation wires are designed in a way that their outer rotation naturally counteracts the inner strands rotation. Crane Hoist Cable can be used in tower crane ropes or offshore crane ropes.
Overhead Crane Cable reel should be capable of winding it automatically. The drive torque of the crane cable should not be less than the max winding torque of the winding crane cable. The cable conductor should be as small as possible when the Crane Rope laying acts on the traction force.
The Crane Wire Rope does not have a reinforcement core, the maximum tension allowed on the copper conductor cross-section is 20N/mm2. We at Bhuwal Insulation Cable Pvt. Ltd. not only provide you the best quality Tower Crane Cable but also the parts required to assemble them.

US Producer Price Index: Metals and Metal Products: Ferrous Wire Rope, Cable, Forms Strand is at a current level of 374.05, up from 373.69 last month and up from 316.95 one year ago. This is a change of 0.09% from last month and 18.02% from one year ago.
Regardless of the fiber, all winch lines are braided in a 12 strand construction. Each strand is composed of many fibers and 12 strands are woven together to form the rope.
All Master Pull winch lines are made with Dyneema Sk75 fiber ropes for superior strength and quality. We offer three different versions of winch lines of varying performance.
The Superline® synthetic winch line has breaking strengths that are unrivaled by any other synthetic line or steel cable. The Superline® is made with pre-stretched and heat set Dyneema synthetic rope. This is a special process of heating and pre-stretching a larger diameter rope into a smaller diameter. This gives the rope a very high breaking strength when compared to steel or other synthetic winch lines in the same diameter. The pre-stretching also makes the rope more dense, which helps prevent chafing materials, such as dirt and sand, from getting lodged in the strands of the rope, which over time will degrade performance of the line.
Comprised of the high strength Superline® as its core and a Dyneema overbraided cover for unrivaled abrasion resistance, the Superline® XD is the ultimate synthetic winch line. The overbraided cover makes it the most durable winch line available. When rigging a vehicle extraction, winch lines are subject to dirt and sand getting lodged in between fibers and strands of the line. These abrasive elements start to wear down the fibers of the rope, decreasing the performance and breaking strength of the line. The overbraided cover on the Superline® XD prevents this type of abrasion, which greatly increases the longevity of the winch line. Even after years of use the inner core of Superline® can still look brand new thanks to the outer braided XD cover.
