  • Mining, industrial, construction, logging, and oilfield applications.


  • Stability, strength, fatigue resistance, and abrasion resistance.


  • All popular sizes.


  • Longer service life.
Flex-X® 6 x 26  should be used in applications where increased strength, stability, and abrasion resistance are beneficial. When properly used, Flex-X® 6 x 26 can result in longer service life. Boom hoist ropes and drag ropes and mainline ropes in logging are a few of many recommended applications.
  • Single-part multi-part hoist lines.
  • Designers/Engineers: ideal when machinery space and weight savings are important.
  • (See metric core ropes)

  • Important: Do not exceed 5:1 design factor.
  • Ideally suited to rugged applications.
This rotation resistant, higher strength      rope provides extra value in both      original equipment designs and replacement applications. Compared      to standard 19 x 7, Flex-X provides      higher strength in a smaller diameter, with better resistance to drum crushing.
