Construction Machinery & Access Platforms

Access platforms and construction machinery put cable inside booms, around small sheaves, and on machines that work outdoors in winter and get pressure-washed at the end of a shift. The construction therefore has to be light, compact enough for existing guides, cold-flexible, and highly resistant to abrasion and water ingress — and on many projects it is a retrofit that has to match the original cable's core schedule exactly.

What usually governs cable life here

The requirement that decides how long the cable lasts in this installation — and therefore what we change in the construction.

• Minimum mass per metre for load-chart sensitivity
• Cold flexibility to -40 °C for outdoor winter duty
• Compact round bundle for internal boom guides
• Cut, abrasion and washdown resistance
