Wire and synthetic rope specialist WireCo has launched Durascend, one of its latest rotation-resistant compacted ropes.
Following extensive analysis, development, design, and testing, Durascend is available for sale in diameters between 8 mm to 19 mm. WireCo proposes that Durascend’s main uses are for small and medium-sized tower and mobile cranes, with tower cranes up to 100 m in height and mobile cranes up to 100 tonne lift capacity.
According to WireCo, Durascend effectively replaces less efficient 12 and 15-strand rotation-resistant ropes such as LT24K and Towerlift.
“Our goal with Durascend is to deliver a high-performance rope that meets customers’ exact needs – without exceeding them – at a competitive price point,” said David Rowatt, senior vice president global steel engineering at WireCo.
WireCo has been extremely busy lately, unveiling both the Casar Lazerlift and the Boomfit last month.
