Dayton 25 ft 5/16 in Stainless Wire Rope

This 25 ft wire rope is made from 304 stainless steel with a 1 x 19 strand construction and an independent wire rope core. It carries a working load limit of 2,500 lb and a breaking strength of 12,500 lbf. The plain end finish and unlubricated surface suit rigging, lifting and tensioning tasks where corrosion resistance matters.

Working load limit and breaking strength define

The 2,500 lb working load limit applies to straight in line pulls with proper rigging practices. Bending, shock loading or angled pulls reduce the effective capacity well below the rated figure. The 12,500 lbf breaking strength is a destructive test value, not a design target for everyday loading.

304 stainless steel resists corrosion in harsh

The uncoated silver cable offers inherent resistance to rust and chemical exposure without lubrication that could attract contaminants. Plain ends allow custom termination with clips, sleeves or thimbles matched to the 5/16 in diameter. The 1 x 19 construction provides stiffness for straight runs but limits flexibility around tight sheaves.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 25 ft length or a different size for my lift?

This wire rope is supplied at 25 ft overall length with a 5/16 in diameter and a 2,500 lb working load limit; select it when those exact dimensions match your rigging plan.

What does the 2,500 lb working load limit mean when the rope is on a winch?

It is the maximum load you may apply in normal lifting use; the rope’s breaking strength is 12,500 lbf, giving a 5:1 design factor under ideal conditions.

How does the 1 x 19 strand construction affect bending over sheaves?

The 1 x 19 classification creates a stiff, low-stretch rope suited for straight pulls or large-diameter sheaves; tight bends will reduce service life.
