Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-061 Steel Wire Rope 0.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-061 is a bright-finish, uncoated steel wire rope with a 0.5-inch diameter and a 6 x 19 IWRC (Independent Wire Rope Core) construction. It carries a rated breaking strength of 20,700 pounds, making it suitable for demanding rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications in industrial and construction environments. The rope is sold in 1-foot increments with a minimum order quantity of 25 feet from a 1,000-foot total coil. Licensed contractors, riggers, and maintenance trades typically source this type of rope for overhead lifting, winch lines, crane leads, and structural tie-back work.

This wire rope is well suited for industrial facilities, construction sites, marine yards, and heavy-equipment maintenance operations. The 6 x 19 IWRC configuration provides a balance of flexibility and crush resistance, making it a common choice for sheave-and-drum applications as well as static rigging where a firm core is needed. The 0.5-inch diameter and high breaking strength place it in a range used for medium-to-heavy lifting rigs, cable slings, and tow lines encountered in commercial trade work.

Installation Notes

Wire rope installation and rigging should be performed by qualified riggers or tradespeople familiar with applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and OSHA lifting regulations. Always verify that end terminations, clamps, and hardware are rated to meet or exceed the rope breaking strength before placing the assembly in service. Inspect rope for kinks, bird-caging, or broken wires before and after each use. Never exceed the working load limit established by the applicable safety factor for the rigging configuration in use.
