Triangular (Flattened) Strand Constructions: 6x26, 6x27, 6x28,
6x29, 6x30, 6x31, 6x32, 6x33, 6x34
Provides a flat strand surface on sheave and drum areas, exposing 4x
more wearing surface than round strand, reducing abrasion and applied
unit pressure
Compact design resists crushing and distortion under heavy loads
Produces 10 percent greater strength over a standard 6-strand rope
Reduces wear on sheaves and drums

Impregnated and coated with tough polymer, offering
superior protection against the harsh, aggressive
environment of a shaft mine
Can be used with a swivel as a tail rope

Rope Selection
Rope Selection Considerations
for Koepe Friction Winders
Installed in a ground or tower mounted configuration.
The number of head and balance rope configuration usually varies from 2 ropes to 6 ropes depending on the
duty cycle required.
For depths exceeding 900 m, it is critical that non-spin or rotation-resistant constructions are used.
For free looping tail ropes, non-spin ropes with swivels attached to both ends are recommended.
For multi-rope winders, rope load balancing and equal driving sheave/drum circumferences are critical to
ensure good rope life.
Triangular strand hoisting ropes are used with good success in both tower mounted and ground mounted
configurations down to a hoisting depth of 1000 meters.

Rope Recommendations
for Slope Hoisting
Triangular (Flattened) Strand
Provides a flat strand surface on sheave and drum
areas, exposing 4x more wearing surface than round
strand, reducing abrasion
Compact design resists crushing and distortion under
heavy loads
Produces 10 percent greater strength over a standard
6-strand rope
Reduces wear on sheaves and drums
Available with either fiber core or IWRC
