8×K61 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope

8×K61 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope

The 8×K61 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope is engineered for high-performance lifting and hoisting operations where strength, endurance and reliability are paramount. Built with eight compacted strands, each composed of 61 individual wires, this rope features a specialized compaction process that increases metallic density, reduces internal voids and delivers improved load capacity and abrasion resistance compared to traditional ropes.

Key Features

• Compacted Construction – Through compaction the outer wires are flattened, increasing metallic cross-section and reducing spaces between wires; this leads to smoother surface, higher strength and reduced internal friction.

• Superior Load Capacity – The 8×K61 design supports higher breaking loads per diameter, making it ideal for heavy-duty cranes, offshore rigs and demanding industrial lifting.

• Enhanced Wear & Fatigue Resistance – Thanks to the tighter packing of wires and smoother bearing surface, the rope offers improved resistance to abrasion, drum-crushing and cyclical bending fatigue.

• Maintained Flexibility – Although strong and compacted, the rope preserves sufficient flexibility for efficient reeling, spooling and multi-layer drum applications.

• Industrial-Grade Reliability – Suited for use in construction, mining, maritime and heavy-machinery environments, where durability and consistency matter most.

Construction & Specifications

• Construction: 8×K61 (eight strands, each with 61 wires, compacted)

• Material: Premium high-tensile steel (customizable per project requirements)

• Finish Options: Galvanised or bright finish depending on environmental conditions

• Core Options: Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) or Fibre Core (FC), selected as per application demands

Typical Applications

This rope is highly suited for:

• Tower, mobile and vessel cranes requiring high-lift capability

• Offshore and marine hoisting systems where wear and fatigue are critical factors

• Multi-layer drum systems and high-cycle lifting operations

• Heavy-duty construction, mining and industrial installations with prolonged service life demands
