Wire ropes

Ropes made of steel wire are among the most highly loaded elements in the area of lifting and hoisting technology. The distribution of the load across numerous individual wires guarantees the greatest operational safety. They can withstand high operating speeds with ease. They also convince with their quiet running and an efficient ratio between their own weight and carrying capacity – and not least of all, their economic advantages. Apart from wear and weather-dependent corrosion, wire ropes are not subject to any significant losses of strength. Moreover, they are maintenance friendly and their functionality is easy to monitor. We assist you in choosing the correct wire rope for your purpose, as different areas of application and operating conditions require careful specification.

Jakob Rope Systems has been producing wire ropes in their own facilities since 1953. The tradition of manufacturing wire rope has resulted in an accumulation of additional know-how. This additional knowledge helps us understand the rope and its properties even better. We manufacture:

Wire rope lifting gear: Anchor slings, loops and chokers are used to safely lift heavy loads.
Stationary ropes are primarily tensioned in fixed situations and are used as guy ropes for towers and booms or as guide ropes for lifts.
Running ropes take on the curvature of rollers, pulleys or drums in rotating applications. This encompasses lift ropes, hoisting ropes, crane ropes, scraper ropes or haul ropes for cableways.
Track ropes take on the function of wire rope ‘rails’ in means of transportation such as cableways, cable cranes, cable scrapers, etc.
