Suitable Lifting Applications
This 1/4 in stainless steel wire rope has a working load limit of 1640 lb and a breaking strength of 8200 lbf, making it suitable for lifting tasks within that rating. The 304 stainless construction resists corrosion in outdoor or marine environments. It is sold in a 50 ft length with plain ends for custom termination. Buyers who need a higher working load limit or a longer continuous length should select a different specification.
Installation and Common Issues
The rope uses a 1 x 19 strand construction with an IWRC core and comes unlubricated, so it is stiffer than more flexible classifications and requires appropriate fittings for the plain ends. Installers must use correctly rated clips, thimbles or swaged terminals that match the 1/4 in diameter. A frequent error is using undersized hardware or failing to follow the recommended clip spacing, which can reduce the effective strength below the rated limit.
Compatibility Checks Before Ordering
Verify that the 1640 lb working load limit covers the maximum intended load including any dynamic or shock factors. Confirm that the 1/4 in diameter fits the sheaves, drums or fairleads in your system and that the 50 ft length is sufficient for the required reach. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm, so check local regulations if that affects your application.
