2-1/2″ 6×37 Wire Rope Cable | Bright Steel

This 2-1/2″ 6×37 wire rope is manufactured from Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIPS) and engineered for heavy-duty lifting, suspension, and rigging applications that demand exceptional flexibility and fatigue resistance. The 6×37 class construction makes it an excellent choice for large-scale hoisting systems, winch lines, crane operations, and industrial applications where repeated bending is common.

2-1/2″ Bright Steel 6×37 Wire Rope for Heavy-Duty Hoisting & Rigging Applications

Designed for demanding industrial environments, this wire rope combines the strength of EIPS-grade steel with the flexibility advantages of a 6×37 class construction. Compared to 6×19 wire rope, it offers superior bendability and fatigue resistance, making it ideal for systems that operate over sheaves, drums, and pulleys. The bright steel finish is lubricated with an A-1 petroleum-based coating to reduce internal friction and help protect against moisture, while the Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) provides enhanced crushing resistance and structural support under heavy loads.

Key Features

• EIPS Steel Construction: Extra Improved Plow Steel delivers approximately 10% greater tensile strength than IPS-grade wire rope.
• 6×37 Class Configuration: Provides exceptional flexibility and fatigue resistance for repeated bending applications.
• Bright Steel Finish: Lubricated with an A-1 petroleum-based coating to reduce wear and provide basic moisture protection.
• IWRC Core: Independent Wire Rope Core improves crushing resistance and maintains stability under demanding loads.

Common Applications

• Heavy-duty hoisting systems
• Crane and lifting operations
• Large winch line assemblies
• Suspension cable systems
• Industrial rigging applications

Installation Tips

• Use wire rope fittings, sockets, and hardware that are properly sized and rated for the rope diameter and application.
• Inspect wire rope, end terminations, and associated hardware for signs of wear, corrosion, kinking, or damage before installation and throughout service life.
• Follow applicable industry standards and manufacturer recommendations for handling, installation, inspection, and maintenance.

Wire Rope by the Foot Ordering FAQ

Will my wire rope arrive as one continuous length?
Yes. The quantity you order will be supplied as one continuous, uncut length of wire rope. For example, if you order a quantity of 1,000, you will receive a single 1,000-foot length.

Can I order multiple separate lengths?
Yes. To receive multiple lengths, add each length to your cart as a separate line item. For example, if you need two 1,500-foot lengths, enter a quantity of 1,500 and add it to your cart twice. Each line item will be cut and supplied as a separate length.

Can I order lengths shorter than the minimum order quantity if the combined total exceeds the minimum?
Yes. If your combined order will exceed the minimum quantity requirement but you need shorter individual lengths, please call our team to place your order. One of our product experts will be happy to assist.
