XLT4’s unique design and construction is different in appearance and feel compared to other wire ropes; packing more high tensile steel wire into the rope’s diameter, giving XLT4 one of the highest strength to diameter ratios ever achieved.

  • Low torque, high strength
  • Can be used with a swivel
  • Lower cost than 35×7
  • Can be used at design factor of 3.5 to 1
