Backed by over a century of rope-making experience, Wire Rope Industries offers a series of specialized Surelift products and services to meet the increasingly demanding requirements for crane hoisting applications. Designed and tested for superior performance and value, our Surelift line includes top performers such as Cushion 6 ropes.

CUSHION 6 INCREASES ROPE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCES EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE

• A well-proven 6x26/36 IWRC rope, specially designed for plastic enhancement, provides an excellent performance/strength combination.
• WRI's exclusive plastic enhancement process maximizes impregnation that cushions and separates the rope strands from the steel core. This creates a more balanced rope in which stress is evenly distributed and inter-strand nicking is virtually eliminated resulting in improved performance and better resistance to shock loading.
• Full plastic enhancement significantly reduces stretch and minimizes drum crushing which improves performance and reduces downtime.
• Full rope cushioning minimizes moisture and contaminant penetration reducing internal abrasion and corrosion.
• A completely round outer rope profile maximizes the contact area between the rope and the equipment, enhancing rope wear resistance and significantly reducing sheave and drum wear.
• Specially formulated lubrication provides protection for individual wires, reducing friction and maintaining freedom of movement between the wires and the plastic.
• External markings on the rope make it easy to identify Cushion 6 high performance ropes.
• Full technical support allows WRI customers to make the correct Cushion Rope selection, obtain the relevant installation, inspection and maintenance procedures, and receive the necessary training.

CUSHION 6 REDUCES OPERATING COSTS AND INCREASES PROFITS

• Reduced overall operating costs as a result of significantly enhanced rope performance and trouble-free operation.
• Lower equipment maintenance costs as a result of reduced sheave and drum wear.
• Lower inventory costs as a result of reduced purchase requirements.
