MBF = minimum breaking force at the stated wire tensile grade (N/mm²). Weights are nominal. Parallel-lay rope is supplied with a steel core. Diameters outside 12–50 mm and non-standard grades are manufactured to order — request a quote.
About this construction
What is parallel lay?
All the wires in a strand are laid in a single operation at the same lay length, so they run parallel with no crossover points. Load is shared evenly along every wire instead of concentrating where wires cross.
Why does that matter in service?
No crossover means no internal point loading, which is where fatigue cracks usually start. It gives higher breaking force at the same diameter and noticeably better resistance to shock loading — the reason it's specified on super-large-tonnage cranes.
How does it compare to standard 6×K36?
Parallel lay gives higher breaking force and better shock-load performance. Standard 6×K36 covers a wider diameter range, up to 80 mm against 50 mm here, and is the usual choice where shock loading isn't the limiting factor.
Is it available with a plastic-injected core?
The standard range is supplied with a steel core. Plastic-injected versions of our compacted rope are available on request — tell us your application and we'll confirm what's possible.
Applications
Parallel lay for shock loads
In parallel-lay construction every wire in the strand is laid in one operation, so all wires share load equally with no crossover points. That gives higher breaking force than standard compacted rope and noticeably better resistance to shock loading — the reason it's specified on super-large-tonnage 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.
Ordering
Cut, reeled and shipped to spec
Reels run to 3,000 m, with custom lengths cut to order. Every shipment carries a mill certificate and test report, packed for sea freight and shipped CIF from the Yangtze Delta.
MOQ 1,000 m, negotiable.
