Join our expert Alain Balman in this webinar as he guides participants through the Basics of steel wire ropes.

Steel wire ropes: they come in all shapes and sizes. The right steel wire rope choice for you depends on the application. There are many aspects to consider, such as the construction, the number of strands, the ratio between inner and outer wires and the thickness of the wires.

In my role as a steel wire rope consultant at Mennens, I’m regularly called by organizations for help and advice. ‘Our wire rope broke spontaneously’ is often what they tell me. When I visit them to find out the cause, it usually turns out not to be so spontaneous after all.
