Dayton

Dayton 3/8 in Stainless Steel Cable 25 ft 3500 lb WLL

SKU CH-KB31-977V5

Stainless-steel cable rated for 3,500 lb working load with 17,500 lbf breaking strength

  • 304 stainless steel resists corrosion for long outdoor life
  • 3500 lb working load limit handles heavy lifting tasks
  • 17500 lbf breaking strength provides a strong safety margin
  • 25 ft length covers most rigging distances
  • 1 x 19 strand construction keeps the cable stiff and stable

3/8 in Stainless Steel Cable

This Dayton cable is a 25 ft length of 304 stainless steel wire rope rated for a 3500 lb working load limit. It uses a 1 x 19 strand construction with an IWRC core and plain ends. The unlubricated, uncoated finish suits lifting and pulling tasks where corrosion resistance matters.

Replaces worn or undersized rope

Swap this in when an existing cable shows broken wires, corrosion or stretch that reduces its safe capacity. The jump is worth it if the current rope has a lower working load limit or a smaller diameter that cannot handle the required 3500 lb load. It also replaces galvanized or coated rope where stainless steel’s chemical resistance is needed.

Fits winches, hoists and rigging hardware

The plain ends thread through sheaves, thimbles or sockets that accept 3/8 in diameter rope. The IWRC core resists crushing on drums, while the 1 x 19 construction keeps the cable firm under tension. It frees up the need for separate lubrication schedules because the rope ships unlubricated and uncoated.

Questions about this item

What diameter sheave or drum do I need for the 3/8 in stainless cable?

The 304 stainless wire rope has no specified bend radius, so choose a sheave or drum that avoids sharp bends and follow the equipment manufacturer's minimum D:d ratio.

How do I terminate the plain ends of the 25 ft cable for lifting?

Swage or mechanically splice a compatible 3/8 in fitting onto each plain end; do not use knots or wire-rope clips that reduce the 3,500 lb WLL.

When must I replace this 1 x 19 stainless wire rope?

Remove the cable from service if you find broken wires, kinks, corrosion pitting, or any distortion that reduces the 17,500 lbf breaking strength.
