This unique drag rope was designed specifically for exceptional performance and extended service life on draglines with reverse bend fairlead systems.

  • Good resistance to both metal loss and metal fatigue
  • Compacted outer strands for greater abrasion resistance
  • 10 percent higher breaking strength than standard 6-strand
  • Plastic-impregnated independent wire rope core (IWRC) protects from bending fatigue and core degradation
