Crane Rope
Flex-X 9 uses compacted strands and swaging for extra drum crushing resistance and increased stability, and its high-density strands deliver extra strength and resistance to abrasion.
It is made with a dual compaction process, which produces a compact cross-section with minimum voids and greater surface area on the outer wires that contact drums, sheaves and the rope itself during operation. The high-density strands also minimize nicking at strand-to-strand contact points.
Flex-X 9 was designed specifically for boom hoist applications, where drum crushing is the thing that ends ropes early. Where the problem is general service life rather than the boom hoist, look at Flex-X 6.
