Flex-X 6

  • provides greater surface area and more steel per given diameter, increasing rope stability and strength (when compared to conventional 6 strand ropes).
  • results in longer service life and less sheave and drum wear.
  • drum scrubbing between the lead line and the previous wrap is reduced.
  • the smooth contact creates less interference, less metal loss and wire deformation.
