Beaver G1770 6 x 36 Wire Rope, Wire Core, 10 mm, 1,000 m Reel (713410)

Beaver 6 x 36 G1770 wire rope is galvanised steel wire rope with six strands of 36 wires and an independent wire rope core (IWRC), in right hand ordinary lay (RHOL). This listing carries 10 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm and 16 mm rope on 1,000 m reels. Beaver's range continues to 44 mm.

Beaver says a large number of small wires and strands produces a flexible rope with good resistance to bending fatigue wear, with the smaller wires giving less abrasion resistance. It also says a wire rope core is approximately 7.5% stronger and 11% heavier than a fibre core.

Where this product is used

• Towing and lifting applications, as Beaver describes its wire rope range (manufacturer-stated)
• Applications where a flexible rope with many small wires and an independent wire rope core is wanted; Beaver says more, smaller wires give flexibility and resistance to bending fatigue wear (manufacturer-stated)

Features

• Construction 6 x 36 with a wire core, right hand ordinary lay (RHOL) (manufacturer-stated)
• Grade 1770 galvanised wire (manufacturer-stated)
• Independent wire rope core (IWRC) (manufacturer-stated)
• Minimum breaking force 63 to 161 kN across the range (manufacturer-stated)
• Each variant is listed with diameter, MBF, mass per 100 m and reel length (manufacturer-stated)

Reading the specifications

• Nominal diameter: Beaver says this is measured at the widest point of the rope (over the crowns). Choose thimbles, ferrules, grips and sheaves for the rope diameter.
• Construction: six strands of 36 wires each with an independent wire rope core (6 x 36 IWRC).
• Grade: the tensile grade of the wires in megapascals (MPa). Beaver says a higher grade gives a higher minimum breaking strength but also influences the life of the rope.
• Lay (RHOL): right hand ordinary lay, with the strands laid to the right and the wires in each strand to the left.
• MBF: minimum breaking force in kN, as listed by Beaver. This is not a working load limit.
• Approx. mass: kilograms per 100 m of rope, as listed by Beaver.

Breaking force and working load

MBF is the minimum breaking force Beaver lists for the rope, in kilonewtons (kN). It is not a working load limit. Beaver does not publish a working load limit for loose wire rope, and the load a rope can safely carry depends on how it is terminated and rigged and on the safety factor your application needs. If the rope will be used for lifting, have a qualified rigger or competent person confirm the rope, the terminations and the working load limit before you order, and inspect the rope before each use. Beaver's manual has a working load limit table for standard galvanised slings made from grade 1770 steel core rope, with AS 1666.1 and AS 1666.2 cited in the table heading (manufacturer-stated). That table is for slings, so it does not give a working load limit for loose rope sold by the metre.

Key specifications

Codes, diameters, breaking forces, masses and reel lengths are from Beaver's Materials Handling Technical Manual (Vol. 4) and the Beaver website. MBF is the minimum breaking force, not a working load limit.

Selecting the right option

Choose the diameter and construction for your application, then check the breaking force against the safety factor you need. Match thimbles, ferrules, grips and sheaves to the rope diameter.
