Wire Rope

Wire rope is an integral component of every wire rope hoist and winch supplied by Tractel. Selecting the correct wire rope and following a routine maintenance and inspection program will ensure that your hoists operate efficiently for many years.
Using Maxiflex wire rope in all of our manual and powered hoists will ensure the highest level of performance for your equipment. Maxiflex wire rope is specifically developed and constructed for use in Tractel products. Proper selection will ensure the maximum possible wire rope service life. If there are ever any questions contact our Engineering Department for assistance, (this is a requirement in situations where the load can spin freely or when winders are used).
