Talpa wire rope selection guide
Polymer-sheathed wire ropes
For maximum surface protection of steel ropes, we have designed wire ropes with a polymer sheath covering outer strands.

For coating, we use an ultra-strong polymer that reliably adheres to the rope surface and retains its structure for a long time during operation.

Thanks to their design, Talpa wire ropes have longer operational life compared to standard ropes, which significantly reduces the number of rope replacements and leads to less maintenance activities and lower cost of equipment ownership.

Manufacture of guy ropes
In addition to steel ropes, Severstal Wire Ropes produces guy ropes structures and products that are used on mining excavators. We produce guy ropes for almost all models of domestic and foreign excavators, including walking excavators - draglines. In contrast with comparable products, the products manufactured by Severstal Wire Ropes provide adjustable stretch, which reduces time necessary for installation of guy ropes on an excavator. Our own engineering department and wide experience in this area allow us to manufacture individual products for a specific client's request.

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.
Services
Pre-stretching
  • Lower residual elongation
  • Higher modulus of elasticity
  • Much lower rotation moment
  • Efficient performance
Electromagnetic inspection
  • Nondestructive inspection is the only test providing total evaluation of damage level and residual operation time of a wire rope.
  • Nondestructive inspection allows to detect reduction of cross-sectional area of a wire rope, external and internal local damages and their location.
Tests
Tensile testing machine for wire ropes of all constructions with capacity up to 500 tons.
Support for rope installation
For the rope installation to be carried out in compliance with all process procedures, at the client's request, experts of Severstal Wire Ropes visit the client and provide support for the rope installation before it is put into operation.

    Company introduction
    АО "Severstal Wire Ropes" (part of the Severstal-metiz group of companies) is a Russian manufacturer of steel wire ropes. The product range of the company includes more than 100 types of wire ropes produced in accordance with domestic and international standards (EN and API).

    Customers choose our special wire ropes for:
    • Oil and gas producing industry
    • Mining
    • Production and maintenance of elevators
    • All types of cranes used in any manufacturing industry
    • Cableways
    • Electricity supply industry
    For each of these applications, we produce a separate product line of special ropes with unique technical performance and design.

    For mining, we produce 6-strand, 8-strand and multi-strand Talpa® special wire ropes with compacted outer strands and polymer filling of the external and outer strands. Thanks to their design, Talpa wire ropes are much stronger and have extended operational life compared to standard and out-dated ropes. This allows our customers to significantly reduce the number of wire rope replacement operations and cut the cost of servicing excavators and mining systems.

    The Quality Management System of Severstal Wire Ropes is certified according to international standards ISO 9001:2015, 45001:2018 и 14001:2015. All manufactured products comply with Russian and European standards and have necessary quality certificates.
