Domestic 5/8" 6x19 Galvanized Wire Rope - EIPS IWRC

Manufactured in the USA from Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIPS), this 5/8" galvanized wire rope is built for demanding lifting, rigging, and material handling applications. Featuring a durable 6x26 construction and an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC), it provides excellent abrasion resistance, dependable strength, and long-term performance in harsh operating environments. The hot-dip drawn galvanized finish delivers superior corrosion protection without sacrificing breaking strength, making it an ideal choice for outdoor, marine-adjacent, and exposed job-site conditions.

Colored strands may appear in some domestic wire ropes for manufacturer identification or visibility purposes. These color variations do not affect assembly break strength.

Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope for Hoisting, Rigging & Winch Applications

The 6x19 class is trusted throughout the construction, utility, transportation, and industrial sectors for its ability to balance flexibility with exceptional abrasion resistance. The actual 6x26 construction provides enhanced durability when operating over drums, sheaves, and other high-contact surfaces while maintaining the flexibility required for general-purpose rigging and lifting applications.

The hot-dip drawn galvanized coating protects against rust and environmental exposure while preserving the rope's original strength characteristics. Combined with the IWRC design, this wire rope delivers reliable performance under heavy loads and demanding working conditions.

6x19 Wire Rope Configuration

This wire rope is manufactured using EIPS-grade steel. Extra Improved Plow Steel provides approximately 10% greater tensile strength than standard IPS-grade wire rope, resulting in higher breaking strength and dependable load-handling capability.

The class of this wire rope is 6x19. These numbers nominally refer to the rope construction, consisting of six outer strands surrounding the core, with approximately 15-26 wires within each strand. The actual construction of this domestic rope is 6x26, providing an ideal balance of durability, flexibility, and abrasion resistance.

Hot-Dip Drawn Galvanized Finish & IWRC Core

The hot-dip drawn galvanizing process provides long-lasting corrosion protection while maintaining the rope's full rated strength. Unlike traditional galvanization methods that may reduce breaking strength, the drawn galvanizing process preserves performance while increasing resistance to rust, moisture, and environmental exposure.

The Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) provides superior support compared to fiber core constructions. It improves crush resistance, helps maintain rope shape under heavy loads, and delivers reliable performance in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 400°F.

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.
