Elevator Wire Rope is critical components in the operation of traction elevators. The use of high-quality steel ensures the cables have the strength and durability to support the weight of the elevator car and passengers. These steel cables provide the means for lifting and lowering the elevator car and its counterweight within the elevator shaft. The tensile strength is the maximum amount of tensile (pulling) force the rope can withstand without breaking. Elevator Wire Rope is designed with safety factors to ensure they can handle loads beyond the elevator's rated capacity.
