About this construction

Is 18×7 the same as 19×7?

They're closely related rotation-resistant constructions. 18×7 has 18 strands laid over an independent core; 19×7 counts the core strand in the designation. Check which your machine's manual specifies, and we'll confirm the equivalent.
Can I use 18×7 on a multi-layer drum?

Rotation-resistant rope is more sensitive to crushing than compacted constructions. For heavy multi-layer spooling, a compacted 19×K7 usually gives longer service life — tell us your drum arrangement and we'll advise.
When should I choose 18×7 over 19×K7?

18×7 gives good rotation resistance at lower cost. 19×K7 gives higher breaking force at the same diameter plus better crush and abrasion resistance, which pays back on demanding duty cycles.
Do both ends need to be fixed?

Rotation-resistant rope should never be allowed to spin freely under load. Follow the manufacturer's termination guidance, and use a swivel only where the rope is rated for it.

Applications

Built for rotation-resistant lifts

18×7 uses two opposing strand layers so torque from the outer layer cancels the one beneath it. That keeps a load from spinning on a single-part line — the reason it's specified for tower cranes, mobile cranes, rotary drilling rigs and marine cranes.

Manufacturing

Drawn, stranded and closed in-house

Every rope starts as Baosteel or Shagang wire rod and runs through our own servo-driven drawing and planetary stranding machines. German Fosser lubricant is applied at closing, and each rope is tensile tested against its declared breaking force before it ships.
