No other mining rope is subjected to more rigorous standards of manufacturing than PowerMax® giving it a clear-cut edge in hoist rope performance . PowerMax® PLUS increases time intervals between resockets and end-for-ends—typical preventative maintenance procedures for draglines.

  • Good abrasion resistance
  • Resistance to metal loss and deformation
  • 8-strand construction
  • PFV-coated core distributes radial stresses when bending over sheaves and protects the rope from internal nicking
PowerMax Plus
  • Superior abrasion resistance
  • 50 to 110% service life increase
  • New wire technology for increased toughness
  • Plastic enhancement
