Choosing Between Fiber Core and IWRC

Wire rope cores affect performance. Fiber core (FC) offers flexibility and shock absorption, ideal for hoists and elevators with small sheaves. Independent wire rope core (IWRC) provides greater strength and crush resistance for heavy lifting, mining, and multi‑layer spooling. The hot tip: use FC for frequent bending, IWRC for high loads and abrasion. LAFIA helps customers select the right core based on application, equipment, and working conditions, ensuring safety and optimal rope life.
