Frequently Asked Questions
What is vinyl covered wire rope used for on ships?
Vinyl covered wire rope is widely used for mooring, towing, lifting, and lashing applications. The vinyl coating protects against corrosion and abrasion, making it ideal for marine environments.
What diameters and lengths are available?
We offer diameters ranging from 6mm to 40mm, with standard lengths of 50m and 100m. Custom cut-to-length options are also available upon request.
Can I use vinyl covered wire rope with existing deck hardware?
Yes, the smooth vinyl surface works well with winches, blocks, and chocks. However, ensure that grooved or friction-heavy equipment has proper tolerances to avoid excessive wear.
How do I determine the correct breaking strength for my application?
Breaking strength depends on the rope's diameter, construction, and core type. Consult our load chart or contact our technical team to select the appropriate configuration for your required safe working load (SWL).
