FAQ on cables, chains, wires and lines
What is cable hardware used for?
Cable hardware is designed for securing, lifting, or supporting heavy loads. It includes components like wire ropes, cables, wires, and chains, used in construction, DIY, and industrial applications.
When should I use wires and chains together?
Wires and chains can be combined for added stability — for example, when securing outdoor equipment, hanging structures, or supporting heavy loads where both flexibility and strength are needed.
What materials are wire ropes made from?
Most wire ropes are made of galvanized or stainless steel. Galvanized ropes resist rust and are suitable for outdoor use, while stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance for marine or industrial environments.
