These wire ropes are most typically used for standing rigging on yachts and for architectural and handrailing applications.
They have a smoother appearance and are relatively stiff. Because the wires are thicker they are much less susceptible to surface wear which could cause sharp stray strands.
Please Note:They are NOT suitable for running over sheaves or for forming thimble eyes. These wire ropes will be supplied with full certification although being “Non Flexible” they are not suited for general lifting purposes.

The Working Load Limit specified is based on a 5:1 safety factor which must not be exceeded. Sometimes in the theatre industry higher safety factors of eight or ten times are required.
Manufactured to BS EN 12385-2002.
Terminations are normally made by roll swaging, or by using Sta-Lok type terminations which can be fitted on site. It is much easier fitting Sta-Loks to these cables [with fewer individual wires] than to the flexible cables [with multiple wires]. Flexible cables require a special castellated insert and can be a bit fiddly!
