About Overhead Gantry Crane Wire Ropes
Overhead gantry crane cables, or overhead crane wire ropes, enable heavy-duty lifting in overhead gantry cranes. Crafted mainly from high-carbon steel for strength and wear resistance, these wires consist of helically wound strands, offering strength and flexibility. Their design accommodates winding around drums and pulleys while enduring immense loads.
At Crane Ropes Australia, we specialise in providing top-tier wire ropes tailored for optimal crane performance.

Overhead Gantry Cranes Wires FAQ
Selecting the appropriate wire rope for your overhead crane is about strength, longevity, and operational safety. Here’s what you need to look out for:
- Load Capacity: Ensure the rope’s breaking strength exceeds your crane’s maximum lift, taking into account required safety factors by Australian Standards
- Environmental Exposure: For corrosive environments, choose galvanised or plastic-impregnated ropes.
- Rope Diameter: Match the rope’s diameter with the crane’s drum and sheaves to prevent accelerated wear.
- Crush and Bend Resistance: Prioritise ropes that can withstand repeated winding and bending.
- Rotational Resistance: Opt for ropes that prevent load spinning and unwinding.
- Wear and Abrasion: Consider compacted ropes or those with larger outer wires for operations where wear is a primary concern.
- Maintenance: Understand the rope’s lubrication needs for prolonged operational life.
- Expert Consultation: When in doubt, consult with your wire rope specialists at Crane Ropes Australia.
The correct wire rope ensures safety, maximises the rope’s lifespan, and guarantees efficient crane operations. Selecting an inappropriate wire can lead to premature wear, potential failures, and safety risks.
High-carbon steel is used for its strength and wear resistance. However, specialised applications might require stainless steel or galvanised wires.
Regular inspections are mandatory, with visual checks recommended daily before crane operation. Comprehensive inspections should be conducted periodically based on the crane’s usage and environment.
Wire ropes should be replaced if there are signs of significant wear, multiple broken wires, corrosion, distortion, or other visible damage. Consult with Australian Standard AS2759 or the team at Crane Ropes Australia for further clarification
No. Overhead crane wire ropes are specifically designed based on crane type, lifting capacity, and the type of operations required. It’s essential to consult with our experts at Crane Ropes Australia to ensure the proper selection.
