Product Description

Bright standard Ordinary lay Steel Wire Rope FORESTRY ROPES LKS 6-3 C

LKS ropes not only satisfy users in Asia: we traditionally also supply customers in the Alps region, Scandinavia and elsewhere via our dealers. Our tried and tested forestry ropes are usually peened in order to generate a higher metallic cross section and thus higher breaking forces, and in order to create as smooth a rope surface as possible. In particular in rocky terrain, this offers fewer contact surfaces that can be damaged. The use of peened ropes is also advantageous with multi-layer winding on rope winches. Furthermore, the service life of the rope can be significantly increased by special lubrication which, in particular, substantially reduces friction and corrosion.

Forestry rope can be used in many different ways and is used throughout the forestry, plantation, agricultural and Arborist type industries.

The wire rope we supply for this type of work is a high quality galvanized steel wire rope which is available in two constructions; 6 x 24 and 6 x 16. They have a fibre rope core in order to give them good flexibility. This is required when using forestry rope for wrapping around trees and logs.

Rope Services Direct has its own machinery to allow us to press and splice any end fitting to your chosen rope. This will enable you to have a customised rope tailor made for your operation. It may be just a simple wire rope sling which you can use in a choker hitch, or it may be a wire rope to be used in a winch. We can help with all you forestry needs so call us on 01384 78004 for advice, enquiries or quotes.
