Electric wire rope hoists, although they have a limited use compared to chain cranes, but in the tonnage above 10 tons, they have a higher operating speed and have a wider use. Among the electric wire rope hoist brands whose products can be found in Iran, we can mention Demag and Balkan Ka brands, the first one is a product of Germany and the second one is a product of Bulgaria.
One of the structures of the wire rope used on the electric crane is the 6X36 structure, which is often produced with a Warrington type texture. Connecting cables are used on overhead cranes from size 8 mm and above, depending on the lifting capacity of the crane, and they are used both as steel core and as hemp core.
