Description
The 5/16×60 SS Cable is a top-quality stainless steel cable, engineered for strength, durability, flexibility, and longevity in extreme and challenging environments. The cable is a full 60-foot cable and consists of 7×19 wire. This cable is suitable for boat lifts, dock systems, and many more rigging applications from marine rigging and industrial uses. It was designed to suit conditions with moisture, tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and retain strength throughout natural marine conditions, particularly during a lifetime in saltwater or even outdoors.
Main Features
5/16″ Diameter, 60′ Length: The cable offers a good strength-to-manageability ratio for a standard boat lift, rigging uses, or heavy-duty support elements. The 60-foot pre-measured section extends far enough for most applications without needing to add on.
7×19 stainless steel: The cable is comprised of 7 bundles of 19 wires, providing enhanced flexibility and fatigue resistance. In addition, the wire arrangement allows the cable to bend around pulleys and winch drums without kinking.
316 stainless steel design: This was constructed using quality 316 grade stainless steel, which contains molybdenum for excellent corrosion resistance – which, as a marine environment, is much more at risk in terms of saltwater or coastal elements. 316 grade stainless steel provides rust resistance, compatibility, and stain resistance, and does not require an excessive dry-down after repeated exposure to moisture.
High load rating: This line is rated and designed to withstand high loads under tension. These shackles are fantastic for lifting, hoisting, and anchoring applications that require long-span sustained functionality.
Marine-rated performance: This product has been designed to perform in extreme marine environments under submerged, salt-spray, and bright sunlight. This cable can be used in harsh exterior conditions and will perform all year round.
Additional Information
Installation and use: The cable comes cut or terminated as required and works fine with stainless steel thimbles, clamps, or swage fittings. Technically, it will work with most brands of boat lifts and dock systems. It will also easily route via sheaves, guide pulleys, or winding drums.
Care and Maintenance: After exposure to salt water, rinse with fresh water to eliminate any further salt accumulation. Store the cable coiled and protected from the always looming elements to prevent degradation. Check the cable regularly for fraying, wear, and surface corrosion. Avoid kinks or sharp bends which could compromise cable strength.
