MBF = minimum breaking force at the stated wire tensile grade (N/mm²). Weights are nominal. Supplied with a steel core. Diameters outside 6–40 mm and non-standard grades are manufactured to order — request a quote.
About this construction
What makes this the "European high-strength" version?
It's built to European breaking-force values rather than the standard catalog figures. At 32 mm, 1960 grade, it gives 921 kN against 886 kN for our standard 8×K26 — around 4% more, achieved through wire grade and compaction control.
When would I specify it over standard 8×K26?
Where a European crane maker's specification calls for EN 12385 breaking-force values, or where you need the extra margin at a fixed diameter. Standard 8×K26 covers a much wider diameter range.
Why does it stop at 40 mm?
This construction is manufactured to 40 mm. Above that, standard 8×K26 runs to 80 mm — tell us your diameter and we'll confirm the options.
Is a plastic-injected version available?
Yes, as a separate product with the same European high-strength values. It adds a polymer layer that reduces internal wear and retains lubricant, which extends service life on multi-layer drums.
Applications
European values, Nantong manufacture
Built to the breaking-force values European crane makers specify, with the compaction control to hit them consistently. It's the rope for buyers whose drawings reference EN 12385 figures rather than a general catalog.
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.
