Galvanized Double Parallel Stranded Steel Wire Rope For Groomers LKS8-4 C

Product Description

Galvanized Double parallel stranded Steel Wire Rope for Groomers LKS8-4 C

Around the world, drivers of Kässbohrer snowcats rely on LKS8-4 C winch ropes from original equipment manufacturer LKS. And with good reason: They are the safest, most reliable ropes used for the difficult work on steep slopes and are distinguished not only by their reliability and long service life, but also by particularly high breaking forces.
LKS8-4 C wire ropes manufactured in Shanghai have been securing piste-grooming machines around the world since 1983. The 9-strand winch ropes are a special product that was developed in collaboration with the engineers at the winch manufacturer Plumettaz und Kässbohrer and are optimized for use with capstan winches. The winch ropes have been continuously improved as a result of the intensive exchange of information between geography, Kässbohrer and LKS as well as the continuous recording of parameters such as number of winch cycles, tensile force and effective length of rope used.

STRANDING TYPES

CROSS LAY

Cross-laid strands consist of at least two layers of wire that are stranded in the same direction, with the wires of two superimposed layers crossing and touching at specific points.

 

Cross lay

PARALLEL LAY

Parallel-laid strands consists of at least two wire layers that are all laid in the same direction in one operation. The lengths of lay of all wire layers are the same and the wires of two superimposed layers are parallel, resulting in linear contact. Parallel-laid ropes consist of at least two layers of strands that are stranded in a single, helical operation around a rope core.
