• 16 outer rope strands (19×7 has 12 only)
  • HiPac® design inner- and outer strands

Main Applications

Same as Compac 35 but with exceptional high breaking strength. Excellent rotation resistant properties make this rope the preferred choice for all single- and multiple line reeving applications.

Rope Characteristics

In essence this is a Compact 35 on steroids hence, Compac 35 PLUS. Also, this rope is constructed from 16 outer HiPac® strands over 12 inner HiPac® strands. The compacted Lang Lay strands reduce interlocking while spooling onto multiple layer drums as well as inter strand- and inter layer nicking. Improved abrasion resistance because of increased wire surface contacting the sheave.

This rope is suited to be used on tower cranes as well as european made mobile crane models. The large number of outer strands distribute the pressures introduced by sheaves and drum more evenly onto the core minimizing the danger of unexpected rope failures because of undetected core deterioration.

Recommended to be used on grooved drums only.

Some sizes of Python® Compac 35 PLUS are available in right- AND left hand lay to comply with OEM specifications (Krupp, Demag, Liebherr etc.)

Python®Compac 35 is classified as NON-ROTATING ASTM 1023-19, exceeds Table 32, Category 1

Breaking Strengths

Note: The maximum CAPACITY, WORKING LOAD LIMIT (WLL), or LINE PULL of the rope usually is 1/5 of the below stated values. For specific information consult the standards applicable to your rope application.
