The difference between the lifting chain and the wire rope

2024-03-04

Although the lifting chain and the wire rope are basically the same, they are still very different in form. The lifting chain is intertwined by the short ring chain. The wire rope is twisted by many amounts of steel wires. Due to the different production process and material, the price of the lifting chain is often higher than the wire rope. The state is also different when it is damaged. The lifting chain will be deformed, and the chain ring will break as a whole. Because the wire rope is twisted with the wire, part of the filament will appear. There are also differences in weight, under the same diameter specifications. The weight of the wire rope will be lighter than that, and the load will be smaller.
