Fiber cores
Sisal fiber is used as raw material for the fiber core of hoist ropes. Due to its properties, the core acquires the ability to absorb and accumulate lubricant, gradually generating it during the operation of the rope. Therefore, the rope remains lubricated throughout the entire service life. Fiber cores, unlike polypropylene cores, do not fail under the influence of low temperatures.

The default lubricant is German operational lubricant Nyrosten T55. Upon a customer's request, it is possible to apply low-temperature lubricant Nyrosten A19/200 with the range of operating temperatures from -55 to +100 °С.
End fittings
Wire ropes are complete with end fittings. We use special factory-made eye end fittings for splicing the rope when it is inserted into the hoist system to maintain the structural integrity of the rope after cut and slip procedure.

Mesh grips for steel wire ropes
For easier installation of a new rope, we offer our customers special steel wire mesh grips. They are tightened securely on the free ends of the old rope and the new one connecting them firmly. After that, the rope is installed on the winding hoist drum.
