Uni-Ply Cable-Laid

Uni-Ply Cable-Laid Wire Rope is constructed by laying multiple individual wire ropes together around a core, producing a rope with significantly greater flexibility than standard single-rope constructions. This cable-laid design makes the rope easier to handle, easier to rig, and better able to conform to load shapes — particularly valuable in sling applications where flexibility improves both rigging speed and load security.

Cable-laid construction distributes the load across multiple rope paths, providing excellent resistance to kinking and improved fatigue life in applications with tight bending radii. The enhanced flexibility also makes cable-laid rope a strong choice for choker hitch applications, where the rope must wrap tightly around the load.

Type

Cable-laid (multi-part) wire rope.

Applications

Wire rope sling fabrication, rigging applications requiring maximum flexibility, choker hitch applications, and any use where standard 6-strand rope is too stiff for the application. Well suited for handling irregularly shaped loads and for slings that must conform tightly to the load.

Exceptions

Cable-laid rope has different rated capacities than standard single-rope constructions of the same overall diameter — always refer to the manufacturer's rated load tables for the specific cable-laid construction. Inspect per ASME B30.9 wire rope sling criteria. Minimum clear length between splices must be at least 10 times the component rope diameter per OSHA 1910.184.
