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
