Bridon American Corporation Domestic Wire Rope Manufacturer

• High breaking force confirmed by Bridon’s ‘Powercheck’ testing of a sample from each production length.

• Superior bending fatigue life when compared with other conventional eight strand ropes - confirmed by laboratory testing and extensive field experience.

• Excellent resistance to crushing and abrasion resulting from the overall compactness and robustness of the rope and the Dyform strands - recommended when multi-layer spooling is involved.

• Reduced elongation results from increased steel content and the Dyform process.

• Optional plastic coating of IWRC to further extend fatigue life, improve structural stability and resistance to corrosion.
