Wire Rope and Lifting Specifications
Beta Max portable hoists are equipped with 19 x 7 rotation-resistant wire rope.
Rotation-resistant wire ropes are less likely to unravel when loaded. This results in
improved rotational stability of the workload. Please refer to the following table
for rope diameters, maximum lifting capacities, and maximum lifting heights.
