Hoisting Ropes

Hoisting ropes are critical components of an elevator system, as they must be strong enough to support the weight of the car, passengers, and any load, while also being flexible enough to bend around the traction sheave without breaking.

Nexus Elevator Supply carries hoisting ropes that are:

Strong: The hoisting rope must be strong enough to support the weight of the elevator car, passengers, and any load, even under maximum load conditions.

Durable: The hoisting rope must be able to withstand the repeated bending and tension forces that occur during normal elevator operation, without breaking or suffering from significant wear and tear.

Flexible: The hoisting rope must be flexible enough to bend around the traction sheave without breaking, while also maintaining its shape and strength.

Fatigue resistance: The hoisting rope must be able to withstand the cyclic loading that occurs during normal elevator operation, without suffering from fatigue and eventual failure.

Corrosion resistance: The hoisting rope must be able to resist corrosion from moisture, heat, and other environmental factors that may be present in the elevator shaft.
