Mission critical applications call for the best wire rope. For those situations, we work with special from the CASAR brand. We have both rotation-resistant and non rotation-resistant wire ropes. They are produced within a tolerance of 0 to 4%, whereas the standard production tolerance is generally between 2 and 4%. All wire ropes receive intensive lubrication during the production process, providing them ample protection against corrosion and reducing the internal friction and the friction between wire rope and sheaves or drums. Contrary to traditionnal wire ropes, rotation resistant wire ropes can be used with a swivel.
Some wire ropes also have one or more of the following characteristics:
In a standard rope all wires and strands have different lay lengths. The high stress concentration at the crossover point leads to an early internal failure. In a parallel lay rope all wires and strands have the same lay length. The linear contact leads to an optimal stress distribution.
Since 1972 the PLAST wire ropes family have a plastic covered steel core. There are many benefits to this:
- prevent internal wire breaks
- prevent metal-to-metal contact
- stabilize the rope structure during installation and operation
- reduce maintenance through long lasting lubrication
- keep out water and abrasive elements
- absorb dynamic energy
- resistance to many chemical substances
Since 2003 CASAR designs swaged ropes for heavy duty applications. These wire ropes have the following benefits:
- extremely high pressure resistance
- reduced diameter reduction under tension
- strongly improved crushing resistance in crossovers
- extremely smooth surface for less indentations or pressure
- high breaking load
Since 1978 CASAR makes wire ropes made of compacted strands. These are the benefits compared to conventional strands:
- higher breaking load
- greater flexibility
- better rope-to-rope contact conditions
- more resistant to abrasion and corrosion
- optimized wire rope life time on multiple layer drums
In particular the non-rotating ropes are preformed for better dimensional stability during production.

Rotation-resistant wire ropes
Wire rope CASAR Starlift Plus
CASAR Starlift Plus is a very flexible rope with a core in a special design avoiding crossovers between the strands of core and preventing internal rope destruction. High breaking force.
Hoist rope for mobile cranes, electrical hoists and other applications, where rotation resistant ropes are required.
Wire rope CASAR Stralift Xtra
CASAR Starlift Xtra is the strongest of all compacted ropes in the CASAR high performance rotation-resistant product line. Very good resistance against drum crushing and abrasion on drums.
Hoist rope for tower cranes, mobile cranes or crawler cranes: unguided load on a single fall.
Wire rope CASAR Eurolift
CASAR Eurolift has a core in a special design avoiding crossover between the strands of core and preventing internal rope destruction.
Hoist rope for mobile cranes, electrical hoists and other applications, where rotation-resistant ropes are required.
Wire rope CASAR Powerplast
CASAR Powerplast has a high breaking load and a good resistance against drum crushing.
Hoist rope for deck cranes and offshore cranes, pull-in-riser and other applications in the marine environment, where rotation resistant-ropes are required.
Wire rope CASAR Doublefit
CASAR Doublefit is the latest generation of hoist rope especially developed for all kind of ambitious lifting applications. The swaging procedure generates an extremely circular rope surface providing an extraordinary multilayer spooling behaviour. Furthermore this technique ensures Doublefit to reach the highest breaking loads of all rotation resistant ropes from CASAR by using wires in standard tensile grades.
Other wire ropes
Wire rope CASAR Stratoplast
CASAR Stratoplast has a very flexible Filler construction.
