Why our rope is the right choice for fitness equipment

Our high-quality steel cables undergo strict quality controls to ensure the highest possible level of quality and safety. The special polyamide coating offers additional protection against abrasion, moisture and dirt, which is particularly beneficial in gyms where ropes are exposed to high loads on a daily basis. This not only ensures a longer service life, but also an improved grip and therefore a safe and comfortable workout.

The different types of wire rope for fitness equipment

Different rope types are required for fitness equipment depending on the function and specific requirements. Constructions such as our 6×19+WSC are suitable for most fitness applications, especially for equipment such as pulley machines or other pulley equipment. These ropes offer an optimum balance of flexibility and strength.

PA-coated ropes for fitness equipment

Our wire ropes are coated with a special PA plastic, making the ropes an excellent choice for equipment with intensive use. The black polyamide coating provides an additional protective layer that protects the rope from abrasion, moisture and dirt and also ensures that the rope is highly flexible. This maintains the rope’s functionality over a longer period of time. In fitness studios, where wire ropes are subjected to heavy daily use, the sheathing is a key factor in the longevity and service life of the ropes. This coating also provides an improved grip, which makes training safer and more comfortable.
