Steel wire ropes are made by twisting multiple steel wires into strands, which are then twisted around a rope core. They are characterized by high strength, good toughness, moderate self-weight, and bendability. Common materials include galvanized, smooth, and stainless steel, with structures such as round strands, compacted strands, and multi-strand non-rotating types; they are paired with fiber cores or steel cores to adapt to different load environments. Widely used in port lifting, mine hoisting, construction machinery, ship mooring, cableway lifting, and other scenarios, they rely on surface/line contact structures to enhance wear resistance and fatigue resistance, making them core rigging for heavy lifting.
