GALVANIZED TRAWL ROPE
This wire rope classification consists of 6 outer strands of 7 wires each with a polypropylene core (PPC). Uses for this material include trawl cable (trawl rope) for commercial fishing, sand line (for well drilling), and more.

COMPACTED ROPES
This wire rope classification has 6 outer strands of 26 wires each with a polypropylene core (PPC). Compacted to provide higher breaking strength on smaller diameter cable, compacted ropes are often used in commercial fishing. This type of wire rope runs in metric sizes.

SUPER SWAGED ROPES
This wire rope classification has 6 outer strands of 26 wires each with an IWRC core. By swaging the surface of wire rope, this construction is strong against abrasion and crushing, while maintaining high breaking strength. Super swaged ropes are used often in the logging industry, and sometimes on cranes, when higher breaking strength is required from smaller diameters.

ROTATION RESISTANT
Rotation resistant ropes are designed to resist the tendency to spin or rotate under load. Used for general use on single-part crane lines to lift a free load, or where rotation resistance is crucial.

SPIN RESISTANT
While not as rotation resistant as 19x7 rope, 8x25 Spin Resistant rope is more stable. With its increased resistance to bending fatigue and crushing, it is also used for general purpose on single-part crane lines and sometimes multi-part wire rope systems.
