• 8-strand in a highest fatigue resistant construction
  • very high breaking strength as compared to standard types
  • 8-strand design to outperform 6-strand ropes
  • DoPar – Double Parallel construction
  • Increased rope life as compared to 8×36

Main Applications

Compac®8 is the next step up from regular 8×36 wire rope for overhead cranes. The 8-strand construction provides an excellent combination of flexibility, fatigue life, and abrasion resistance.

Rope Characteristics

8-strand high performance overhead crane wire rope in a so called Double-Parallel (DoPar®) construction preventing overcrossing of inner – to outer strands. This not only increases the rope’s breaking strength but also reduces inner point-contact stresses which results in a much better bending fatigue life. This rope is HiPac® strand compacted.

6-strand   8-strand
Sheave Contact 6-strand Sheave Contact 8-strand

The 8-strand construction provides an increase in contact points between rope and sheave. Less wear of the rope and of your equipment.

Standard

EN 10264, 12385 where applicable

Python® Compac® 8 is NOT rotation resistant or non-rotating.

Available in right regular lay (RRL) AND left regular lay (LRL).

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.
