Dayton 1/4 in Galvanized Steel Cable
This Dayton cable is a 500 ft length of galvanized steel wire rope built for lifting and pulling tasks. It uses a 1 x 19 strand construction with an IWRC core and plain ends. The working load limit is 1640 lb and the breaking strength is 8200 lbf. The unlubricated, silver finish suits general industrial use.
Suits rigging jobs needing a single 500 ft length
Buyers who need multiple shorter lengths or a different diameter should look elsewhere. The plain ends require termination hardware not included. The 1 x 19 construction offers less flexibility than other strand patterns. The unlubricated surface may need field dressing for some applications.
Working load limit 1640 lb defines safe use
This single figure determines whether the cable matches the load requirements of the job. Exceeding the working load limit creates a serious safety hazard. The 8200 lbf breaking strength provides the design safety factor. Always verify the load before specifying this cable.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 500 ft length or a different length for my lifting needs?
This Dayton cable is supplied in a single 500 ft length with a 1/4 in diameter and a working load limit of 1640 lb, so choose it when you need that exact length and capacity.
What does the 1640 lb working load limit mean when I rig this cable on a hoist?
The 1640 lb working load limit is the maximum safe load you can apply in normal lifting use; the cable’s breaking strength is 8200 lbf, giving a 5:1 safety factor.
Does the plain end type and 1 x 19 strand construction limit what fittings or sheaves I can use?
The plain end requires you to add your own terminations such as thimbles or swaged sleeves, and the 1 x 19 construction is stiff, so use sheaves with a diameter at least 20 times the cable diameter.
