Constructex is recommended as a tubing line where longer service life is desired. Superior abrasion resistance makes Constructex the ideal wire rope for use on scrapyard cranes. Constructex can be recommended with confidence wherever abusive applications exist.

Constructex can be recommended with confidence wherever abrasion and crush resistance are a major concern. In the conventional crane market, this rope has increased life on scrap cranes, clam shell holding and closing lines and boom hoist lines. Constructex also has a long history of superior performance as a tubing line in the well servicing industry. Most recently, Constructex has entered the rotary drill line industry and is outperforming standard 6x19s EIP IRWC RRL lines with up to twice the ton-miles and increased strength. For example, a rig using 1-3/8” Constructex will have a higher rope strength and achieve more ton-miles per foot than a rig using 1-1/2” 6x19s EIP IWRC RRL.

Greater Strength:
The design of Constructex compacts more steel per diameter which provides for higher strength. This allows users to lift heavier loads while maintaining the same rope diameter.

Increased Crush Resistance:
The unique design of Constructex with its reduction of internal voids makes it better to withstand crushing. This makes Constructex the ideal rope for abusive applications.

Longer Rope Life:
The smooth outside surface of Constructex is a direct result of the swaging process. This smooth surface of greatly increased steel area enhances resistance to damage from abrasion.

NOT FOR AIRCRAFT USE. (“Aircraft Cable” has become an accepted industry term for small diameter 7×7 and 7×19 construction wire rope intended for industrial and marine application.) Read important warnings and information.
