When it comes to choosing the right Galvanised wire rope, you need to ensure you choose the materials best suited to meet your application’s needs, while also being sensitive to budget. This requires working with the right wire supplier that understands your application and explain how a product will meet your requirements. Commercial and Domestic builders know that Galvanised Wire Rope is cost-effective, strong, durable, corrosion-resistant, and heat resistant. This makes it among the more popular wire materials precisely due to its wide range of applications and affordability.
#1 Cost-Effective
Galvanised steel wire rope suppliers often recommend it over other cable construction materials because of its cost-effectiveness in appropriate rigging applications. But what’s interesting is that its affordability, as compared with more expensive alternatives like Stainless Steel for example is rooted in its low maintenance, longevity, availability and ease of use and installation. Therefore the material’s mechanical malleability, combined with how readily available it is, makes galvanised steel ideal in many use cases in the appropriate environment.
 As a Galvanised steel wire rope supplier, Low Cost Wire works with industry-standard galvanised grades such as 1570, 1770, and (Marine) 2070. We are proud to be a supplier of over-the-counter galvanised steel cable and a manufacturer of an entire family of cable fittings to create your custom cable assembly.
#2 Strong
Another reason Galvanised steel is an industry-standard is because of galvanised steel wire rope’s strength, durability and resistance to work hardening.  For example, Grade 301 and 304 stainless steel possesses a very high tensile strength in both strip and wire forms. Unfortunately in repeated deformation applications, Stainless Steel Wire Rope can work harden and fail catastrophically. Galvanized steel, with a lower tensile strength comparatively, will not work harden in the same sort of application.
#3 Easy to Work With
Another feature that makes galvanised steel cable advantageous is that it’s easy to work with, compared to other materials. It is very easily formed, especially in the small-diameter wires inside the cable as well. What’s more, galvanised steel mechanical cable is also easy to lay into the appropriate shape when stranded.
#4 Corrosion Resistance
If your application requires sensitivity to corrosion, and is in an aggressive environment created by factors such as weather or water, salt or chemicals or otherwise that limits free oxygen, galvanised steel cable is an excellent choice. The Marine Grade version of galvanised Wire Rope has a very high tolerance of harsh environmental conditions. This ensures that the cable can take a beating over a long period of time by moisture. Comparatively speaking, Stainless steel, another steel cable we provide, is vulnerable to applications where aggressive oxygen deprived environments are present, like marine or submerged saltwater uses.
