Steel wire ropes for tower cranes: the new solution by Blutref

In the construction sector, every piece of equipment must deliver high performance, durability, and strength. That’s why choosing top-quality, application-specific steel wire ropes is a strategic investment.

Blutref, an Italy-based manufacturer of a broad range of steel ropes, has recently expanded its product portfolio by introducing a new type of wire rope specifically designed for use on tower cranes.

The new anti-rotation rope by Blutref meets Italian regulations

Italian regulations require ropes used on tower cranes to be replaced at the end of each construction project. This technical and legal requirement calls for specific products based on the crane manufacturer's guidelines. To meet this need, Blutref has developed a new anti-rotation steel wire rope compliant with legal standards, designed to offer maximum safety and optimal performance.

Anti-rotation rope for tower cranes: key technical features

Anti-rotation structure: minimizes load rotation during lifting operations, preventing the rope from twisting on itself. This is essential for tower crane applications, where load stability is critical for operator safety and structural integrity.

Galvanized steel: provides protection against corrosion caused by weather and harsh outdoor conditions typical of construction sites. The zinc coating significantly extends rope lifespan and reduces maintenance needs, increasing the reliability of the lifting system.

24w x 7 construction: made with 24 outer strands in a "Warrington" pattern (alternating wire diameters for enhanced compactness) composed of 7 wires, typically forming an independent steel core. This configuration is ideal for heavy-duty applications, offering flexibility, wear resistance, and excellent torsional stability—perfect for tower cranes, truck cranes, winches, and lifting devices.
