Turboplast
Boom hoist rope for mobile cranes and grabs, hoist rope for container cranes, floating cranes etc. In multiple part reeving for smaller lifting
height.

Is an 8 strand rope made out of compacted outer strands.

Is fully lubricated.

Has a plastic layer between the steel core and the outer strands giving the rope a high structural stability. The plastic layer also assists
in avoiding internal rope destruction and protecting the core against corrosive environments.

Has a very high breaking load and good resistance against drum crushing.

Turboplast should NOT be used with a swivel.

Regular Lay or Langs Lay.

Superplast 8
Boom hoist rope for mobile cranes and grabs, hoist rope for container cranes, floating cranes, portal cranes, etc. and for various offshore
applications. In multiple part reeving for smaller lifting heights, twin hoist systems with left and right hand ropes for greater lifting heights,
where rotation resistant ropes are not required.

Is a 10 strand rope made out of compacted outer strands.

Is fully lubricated.

Has a plastic layer between the steel core and the outer strands giving the rope a high structural stability. The plastic layer also assists
in avoiding internal rope destruction and protecting the core against corrosive environments.

Has a very high breaking load and good resistance against drum crushing.

Superplast 8 should NOT be used with a swivel.

Regular Lay or Langs Lay.

Commercial Fishing Wire Ropes
Kiswire fishing ropes are available in both A & B galvanising and ALUMAR. ALUMAR fishing ropes have 5% aluminium in the zinc galvanising mix
with the inclusion of the aluminium ensuring superior resistance to corrosion and a longer working life.

ALUMAR ropes have performed extremely well in laboratory Salt Spray (NaCI) and SO2 Atmosphere humidity tests.

These tests indicate that ALUMAR technology improves corrosion resistance by approximately 3 times. ALUMAR fishing ropes are the end
product of many years of testing in regard to the correct level of aluminium to be included in the zinc mix. The level of 5% provides the
optimum balance of corrosion resistance, durability and working life.

Stainless Steel Wire Ropes
Nobles stock a range of stainless steel wire ropes as per the below table. 7x19 is available from 2 to 12mm diameter with 316 grade being
preferred. 304 Grade is also available in the common sizes however. 7x7 is available in 1.6, 2, 3 and 4mm. 1x19 is ideal for fixed rigging
applications and is also available in 316 grade but stocked only in 3 and 4mm.

7x19 is the most common and versatile construction of stainless steel wire rope. It consists of 7 strands each with 19 wires and is the most
flexible and the easiest construction to work with particularly where the rope needs to turn corners, change directions or where ferrule
secured thimble eyes and wire rope grips are used. 7x19 can be used in either fixed rigging or for limited working rope applications such as on
a boat winch.

7x7 consists of 7 strands each with 7 wires and is not as flexible as 7x19. 7x7 is an excellent choice for fixed rigging applications such as
balustrading and safety barrier rails. Although 7x7 is stiffer than 7x19 it is still capable of limited angles and can be used with thimble eyes or
swage fittings. 7x7 has very limited applications as a running or working rope.

1x19 consists of a single strand with 19 wires. 1 x 19 is very stiff and is suitable for fixed "straight line" rigging only such as mast stays, guy
ropes and structural applications. It cannot be used with thimble eyes and is best utilised and looks very effective with machine swaged end
fittings.

Lubrication, Specifications, Testing

& Plastic Coating
Lubrication
When a rope is operated over a drum or sheave, the strands
and wires move relative to one another. To reduce the resultant
friction within the rope as well as the friction between the rope
and drum or sheave, ropes are lubricated in manufacture.
z (right lay) s (left lay)
In addition this lubrication also retards corrosion and inhibits
possible rotting of the fibre core. In special applications a
combination of lubricants may be called for, e.g., the core and
inner wires of the strands may be heavily lubricated while the
lighter lubrication may be applied to outer wires and strands.
Wire rope cores are normally heavily lubricated irrespective of
the outer strand lubrication.

Specifications
All standard ropes are produced to generally comply with the
requirements of Australian Standards. However some of our
more technically advanced wire ropes have special characteristics
required to provide superior performance.

Seizing Mallet or Bat Storage

Ropes, whether on reel or in coils, should be stored on blocks off

NOTES:
1. The number of wire breaks before discard in the above table is quite high, and if wire breaks are concentrated in one strand, lower levels for discard are appropriate. If more than
one third of the outer wires in a strand are broken over a length of six times the rope diameter, the rope shall be discarded.
2. Where ropes are used for lifts, AS 1735.2 applies, which is less stringent than the above table. The mining industry frequently requires more stringent discard criteria.
3. Rope of Lang’s lay construction other than rotation resistant ropes shall have no more than 50% of the above values.
4. Number of broken wires alone is not the only factor in discarding a wire rope.
