Perhaps the biggest of the advantages of wire rope is that it is made up of several strands woven together, which have themselves been constructed by weaving together several wires.
This creates a sturdy material that is formed from multiple wires with a core in the middle, with this core providing great reserve strength.Another of the advantages is that despite this increased level of strength, it has minimal weight and size compared to something like a heavy iron chain, without compromising on its effectiveness. Despite its low weight, it still has great flexibility.
