6×25 & 6×37 Plow Steel

Plow steel is a type of steel that is strong and used primarily to make wire rope.

The plow steel is extremely tough that it can stand multiple uses which strain and stress the steel.

At Cable Craft, we modify plow steel and sell it to our customers in need of this material. We offer our improved plow steel in 6×25 and 6×37, which can be used in various constructions and projects.

Tower King Hoist Cable

The Tower King Hoist Cable is distributed in Toronto by Cable Craft.

Before distribution, Cable Craft modifies the cable to ensure the product’s quality for the client.

The Tower King Hoist Cable itself is a strong cable, made up of 35 strands and is very flexible. The round rope surface and the compacted outer strands of the cable make the Tower King Hoist Cable resistant against drum crushing.

The 19 inner strands of the cable counteract the torque of the 16 outer strands, making the Tower King Hoist Cable extremely rotation resistant.

The cable has equal load distribution between inner and outer strands. Coupled with the appropriate accessories, the Tower King Hoist Cable is safe for use and is strong to withhold internal wire breaks.

The Tower King Hoist Cable should be used with a swivel, which is also available at Cable Craft in Toronto.

TOWER KING HOIST CABLE
