Hoisting and lifting

Ropes made of steel wire are among the most highly loaded elements in the area of lifting and hoisting technology. The distribution of the load across numerous individual wires guarantees the greatest operational safety. They can withstand high operating speeds with ease. They are also convincing with their quiet running and an efficient ratio between their own weight and carrying capacity – and not least of all, due to economic advantages. Apart from wear through normal operation and weather-dependent corrosion, wire ropes are not subject to any significant losses of strength. Moreover, they are maintenance friendly and their functionality is easy to monitor. What is not easy is making the correct choice: Different areas of application or operating conditions require careful specification.

• Wire rope lifting gear: Anchor slings, loops and chokers are used to safely lift heavy loads.
• Stationary ropes are primarily tensioned in fixed situations and are used as guy ropes for towers and booms or as guide ropes for lifts.
• Running ropes take on the curvature of rollers, pulleys or drums in rotating applications. This encompasses lift ropes, hoisting ropes, crane ropes, scraper ropes or haul ropes for cableways.
• Track ropes take on the function of wire rope ‘rails’ in means of transportation such as cableways, cable cranes, cable scrapers, etc.

The right chain for your area of application: Jakob Rope Systems carries a broad spectrum of chains, chain hoists and accessory materials in various different types and configurations:

• High-strength chain up to quality grade 10
• Rock-lifting chain
• Square-link forestry chain
• Square-link hauling chain
• Ratchet tensioners
• Load hooks and safety load hooks
• Sling and barrel hooks
• Chain hoists
• Coupling links and chain connectors

Our sling chains are manufactured to EN 818.

Thanks to new design and manufacturing techniques, fibre rope is still an important part of the world of ropes. Fibre ropes are employed when the properties of dynamics, flexibility, own weight and rotting are important influencing factors. Fibre ropes are manufactured in different designs and of various materials:

• Polyester ropes
• Polypropylene ropes
• Dyneema® ropes
• Hemp ropes
• Rubber ropes

We manufacture our fibre ropes for you with spliced loops, continuous splices or equipped with further items from our range.

Our safety nets and tarpaulins are convincing with their high quality standards. All nets are made of polypropylene or polyester, are high-strength and knot-free. This makes the nets exceptionally durable and low in wear while the mesh geometry always maintains the same structure. The nets are suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Each net is equipped with a fixed finished edge, which makes fraying impossible and simplifies installation.

Our tarpaulins are available in various versions; the material and breathability can be selected as needed.

In addition to the various quality characteristics, the nets and tarpaulins are also available in different colours. Thanks to our large stock on hand, we can supply your needs quickly.

Jakob Rope Systems gladly serves you with consulting and support for your projects from planning to installation. We also offer safety inspections for safety nets.
