Hoist & Crane Reel Cable with Tensile Core

A free-hanging drop is a tensile application

When a cable hangs from a hoist, the whole weight of the drop acts on the top termination — plus the dynamic load as the machine accelerates. Terminating the conductors and letting the jacket take that load is how cables pull out of glands. These constructions carry the tension in an integrated steel or aramid element and pass it to a strain-relief point, so the copper never sees the drop load.

Termination is part of the cable

We supply these as assemblies where it helps: overmoulded or potted termination, strain-relief boot, and the connector your hoist uses. That removes the most common installation error, where a correctly specified cable is undone by a gland that is not rated for the movement or the ingress protection of the cable inside it.

Applications

This construction is supplied into the following installations. Tell us which one applies and we will confirm the governing requirement.

Customisation

Core count and cross-section, screen arrangement, sheath compound and colour, print legend, length and termination are all built to order. Send the requirement — including the failed OEM part if this is a replacement — and we will propose the construction and confirm the lead time.
