- 740 lb working load limit for safe lifting
- 3,700 lbf breaking strength provides high safety margin
- 250 ft continuous length reduces splice points
304 Stainless Steel Cable
This 3/16 inch Dayton cable is made from 304 stainless steel with a 7x19 strand construction and an IWRC core. It is supplied in a 250 foot length with a plain end and unlubricated finish. The wire rope is rated for lifting applications and carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.
740 lb Working Load Limit
The single specification that decides fit is the working load limit of 740 lb. This figure defines the maximum load that should be applied in normal use and is derived from the 3,700 lbf breaking strength with a standard design factor. Exceeding this limit voids the safety margin built into the rating.
Capacity and Headroom
The cable comfortably handles lifting and pulling tasks up to 740 lb, including rigging, winching and general conveying work. It runs out when loads approach the 3,700 lbf breaking strength or when repeated cycling and sharp bends reduce the effective strength below the working limit.

Questions about this item
How does the 740 lb working load limit apply when the cable is installed in a lifting setup?
The 740 lb working load limit is the maximum safe load for lifting applications when the cable is new, undamaged and used with proper rigging hardware.
What does the 7x19 strand construction mean for flexibility and minimum bend requirements?
The 7x19 construction provides high flexibility for routing around sheaves and drums, and the specification lists bend radius as not applicable.
What diameter hardware is needed to match the 3/16 in cable size?
Use thimbles, clips, sleeves or shackles rated for 3/16 in wire rope to maintain the full working load limit.
