1" 6x26 Wire Rope Cable

This 1" Impact® swaged 6x26 wire rope is manufactured from Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIPS) and compacted during production to provide enhanced strength, flexibility, and durability. The swaging process reduces the rope diameter while increasing strand density, resulting in improved crushing resistance, reduced wear, and longer service life for demanding lifting, winching, and rigging applications.

1" Impact® Swaged 6x26 Wire Rope for Winch Lines, Hoists & Heavy-Duty Rigging

Designed for high-performance applications, this compacted 6x26 wire rope offers greater strength and flexibility than comparable non-compacted ropes of the same diameter. The swaged construction improves resistance to crushing, kinking, pig tailing, and abrasion while promoting smoother spooling onto drums and winches. Combined with a bright steel finish and an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC), this rope delivers dependable performance in challenging industrial environments where durability and reliability are critical.

Key Features

• Impact® Swaged Construction: Compacted design increases strength, flexibility, and service life while reducing wear and deformation.
• EIPS Steel Construction: Extra Improved Plow Steel provides approximately 10% greater tensile strength than IPS-grade wire rope.
• Bright Steel Finish: Lubricated with an A-1 petroleum-based coating to reduce friction and provide basic moisture protection.
• IWRC Core: Independent Wire Rope Core improves crushing resistance and structural stability under load.

Common Applications

• Winch lines
• Hoist ropes
• Choker ropes
• Trolley lines
• Boom lines

Installation Tips

• Use wire rope fittings and hardware that are properly rated and sized for the rope diameter.
• Inspect wire rope, 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, 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.
