Superflex is a plaited galvanised wire rope comprising of 12 plys of high tensile (2070 MPs) steel cable in a 4x 3 sinnet configuration.
The plaited wire rope design offers exceptional rotation resistance characteristics. It is extremely flexible and very light and easy to handle.
Superflex is extremely tolerant to abuse and has less tendency to kink and runs easily over capstans and sheaves.
