Galvanised steel wire rope on reel, silver nylon coated, 250 ft length

Dayton

Dayton 250 ft 5/16 in Wire Rope 1960 lb WLL

SKU CH-RQK1-65S0G

Galvanized steel wire rope with nylon coating, 7×19 construction, 250 ft length, 5/16 in diameter, 1,960 lb working load limit

  • Galvanised steel resists corrosion for outdoor use
  • 1,960 lb working load limit handles heavy lifts
  • 7 x 19 strand construction stays flexible under tension
  • Nylon coating reduces wear during repeated cycles
  • 250 ft length covers long runs without splicing

Product Identity

This galvanised steel wire rope is designed for lifting and pulling tasks where a 1,960 lb working load limit is required. It suits rigging professionals and maintenance teams needing a 250 ft length of 5/16 in diameter cable with a 7 x 19 strand construction.

Practical Limits

The rope delivers a 9,800 lbf breaking strength and features an IWRC core with nylon coating for corrosion resistance. Its 13/32 in overall diameter and plain ends mean terminations must be added on site, and the unlubricated surface requires inspection before each critical lift.

Installation Notes

At 250 ft the coil is heavy and best handled by two people to avoid kinking during pay-out. Common issues include crushing the nylon jacket when using incorrect sheave grooves and exceeding the bend radius on small drums, which reduces service life. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to the materials used.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 250 ft length or a shorter roll for my application?

The 250 ft roll provides a continuous 5/16 in galvanized steel rope with a 1,960 lb working load limit, suitable for long runs without splicing.

What does the 1,960 lb working load limit mean when I rig the rope in a real lift?

It means the maximum safe load you can apply in normal use is 1,960 lb; the rope’s minimum breaking strength is 9,800 lbf, giving a 5:1 design factor.

How does the 7 x 19 strand construction and IWRC core affect flexibility and strength?

The 7 x 19 classification with an independent wire rope core balances flexibility for sheave bending and high strength for lifting tasks.
