Generation Log Carriage Wire Rope
Wilson Engineering Systems has now supplied the following wire ropes to sawmills in New Zealand and Australia that have out performed other standard ropes used in the industry.
We offer 7-Flex ropes for many applications that currently use 6 x 19 or 6 x 36 classification ropes. Their operating characteristics are similar in many ways to 6 x 36 classification ropes. Typical applications such as container cranes, logging portal cranes and sawmill carriages have reported increased service life with the 7-Flex. These products are also available in a TUF-KOTE® / PFV option to further enhance their service characteristics.

 |
|
A rope construction that offers improved resistance to bending fatigue compared to a 6 strand rope of the same diameter due to a combination of the outer wire size and the seventh strand. The use of a 26 Warrington Seale (WS) strand construction provides a good balance of operating characteristics. |

A plastic impregnated wire rope proven to provide longer service life and a cleaner operation. On the inside, top-of-the-line wire rope effectively withstands the demanding pressures of your job. The polymer is applied at high pressure to force the material into the rope, serving to cushion the strands, distribute internal stresses, keep in wire rope lubricant and keep out dirt and debris. On the outside, the engineered polymer plastic is designed to provide a cleaner operation and reduces wear on sheaves and drums. |
