Questions and answers
Usual names for products:
Bowden strand = steel strands in construction 1×19
Snowchains = tire protection chains
What's the difference between the 6X19 and 6X37 steel wire rope construction ? (Semiflexible and Flexible, depending on the timber harvesting type)
6×19 is a semiflexible construction ; the wire rope is used for timber harvesting hardwoods (beech, oak etc.) or where are demands of intense friction
6×37 is a flexible construction ; the wire rope is used for the softwood timber
Why do we need high class wire ropes? (Flexistark and Superkomakt?
- for the same diameter of rope the breaking strength is much better than for standard ropes
- the surface of timber harvesting is larger (70-80 meter instead of 50 meter)
- the worklife of rope is increased
- the price/quality rate is improved
What is the construction for the tyre chains?
- H or linked type
- as this is an original COTRACO production, we intend to extend in the near future with new construction of tire chains
How many cross links have a tyre chain?
