Our wire ropes (galvanized & stainless steel), kernmantle ropes, PP ropes, masonry cords and rubber ropes

Whether on the construction site, in horticulture, in trade or for individual projects - our range offers a versatile selection of ropes and wire ropes designed for a wide variety of requirements and applications. We stock robust masonry cords for precise work, elastic custom-made rubber ropes and weatherproof, twisted polypropylene ropes with high tensile strength. The range is supplemented by galvanized wire ropes with fibre core in accordance with the DIN standard and stainless steel wire ropes (V4A) for use in environments prone to corrosion. We also offer plastic-coated wire ropes for additional protection and core-braided polyester ropes with high load-bearing capacity and abrasion resistance.

Whether for building projects, constructions, repairs or creative applications - we offer durable quality products in various diameters, lengths and designs.

Diverse range of ropes - a large selection for every need

Sometimes you just need something that reliably connects, holds or flexibly adapts. That's exactly what our ropes and wire ropes are made for. Whether you're tying down a bed, mooring a boat, transporting something or working on a construction site - we have the right material for you. From classic masonry cords and elastic rubber ropes to durable wire ropes made of galvanised or stainless steel. Our range includes the following products:

  • Stainless steel wire ropes with 7x19 strands and steel core
    offer an outstanding combination of flexibility and tensile strength. They are the preferred choice for industrial applications, lifting equipment, winches, yacht building or architectural tensioning systems. The construction of seven strands with 19 individual wires each ensures a high degree of flexibility combined with load-bearing capacity - even under harsh conditions
  • Galvanized wire ropes with 6x19 strands and fibre core in accordance with DIN 3060
    are robust all-round ropes for a wide range of technical applications. The fibre core improves damping under load and makes the rope particularly flexible. Typical areas of application are construction, mechanical engineering and transport technology
  • Galvanized wire ropes with 6x7 strands and fibre core in accordance with DIN 3050
    are characterized by high rigidity and dimensional stability. They are used where the least possible elongation and clear rope guidance are required, for example in control lines, safety mechanisms or constructions with static loads. The galvanized coating provides reliable protection against rust
  • Kernmantle ropes made from 16-plait polyester
    are ideal for all applications where maximum flexibility, high tensile strength and a pleasant feel are required. These ropes are abrasion-resistant, UV-resistant and extremely durable. Typical areas of use include sailing, tent construction, outdoor camping and demanding indoor applications
  • Stainless steel wire ropes with 7x7 strands and a steel core made of V4A
    offer maximum corrosion protection and are particularly suitable for aggressive environments such as the maritime sector, the chemical industry or the food sector. V4A stainless steel is acid-resistant, rustproof and particularly durable. The 7x7 construction provides a good balance between flexibility and stability
  • Galvanized wire ropes with plastic coating and 6x7 strands with fibre core
    combine protection, durability and user-friendliness. The transparent or coloured plastic coating protects the rope against corrosion, protects surfaces and increases safety during handling. These ropes are often used in gardens, for barriers, for animal enclosures or as safety elements in public areas
  • Bricklaying ropes
    with a rope diameter of 2 mm are part of the basic equipment on every construction site or in the garden. They are used as precise guidelines when building walls, paving or marking out areas. Thanks to their striking color, they are easily recognizable even in poor visibility. Their high tensile strength and dimensional stability ensure that they remain reliable and taut even when used intensively
  • Custom-made rubber ropes
    offer a versatile solution for fastening and tensioning tasks. Available in various diameters and individually cut to size, they are ideal for securing loads, fixing tarpaulins or as an elastic connection in sports equipment and outdoor gear. The durable sheathing protects against weather and UV radiation - perfect for long-term outdoor use
  • The twisted polypropylene rope (PP rope)
    in blue is characterized by its lightness and buoyancy. They are extremely resistant to weathering, UV rays and moisture. Available in different rope thicknesses, they are used in a wide variety of areas - whether in horticulture, camping, boating or for decorative applications

Suitable rope accessories for every application

We offer a wide range of high-quality rope accessories for the professional fastening, securing and connection of ropes and cords - both in galvanized design for robust everyday use and in stainless steel for demanding outdoor applications.

FAQs - Questions & Answers

How do you cut wire ropes?

Depending on the diameter, wire ropes are cut cleanly with a suitable wire rope cutter, bolt cutter or, for smaller ropes, with a side cutter - for plastic-coated ropes, the sheathing is first removed with a cutter, then the rope is cut

How can you tension a wire rope?

A wire rope can be tensioned by firmly anchoring it at one end and using a tensioning system such as a turnbuckle, a rope tensioning device or a ratchet at the other end, with which the rope is tensioned in a controlled manner - depending on the application, a tensioner with a pulley or a lever hoist can also be used

How do you attach wire ropes?

A wire rope is attached by either looping it with rope grips and, if necessary, rope thimbles and securing it to a fixed point (e.g. hook, eye, shackle), or by firmly connecting it to a structure using compression sleeves, screw terminals or turnbuckles - depending on the application, it can also be bolted or anchored directly to the structure.

Are polyester kernmantle ropes suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, 16-plait braided polyester kernmantle ropes are very resistant to UV radiation, abrasion and moisture. They are ideal for outdoor applications such as tent construction, sailing or as all-purpose ropes in the garden and on construction sites

what is the difference between 6x7 and 6x19 wire ropes?

The difference lies in the number of individual wires per strand. 6x7 wire ropes consist of fewer but thicker wires and are therefore stiffer, ideal for static applications. 6x19 wire ropes are more flexible because they consist of more, thinner wires and are suitable for moving applications

What does the designation "DIN 3060" mean for wire ropes?

The DIN 3060 standard describes the structure and technical properties of galvanized wire ropes with a fibre core in the 6x19 construction. These ropes are robust, flexible and ideal for use in construction, winches or mechanical engineering

What applications are rubber ropes suitable for?

Individually cut rubber ropes are ideal for attaching tarpaulins, securing loads or as flexible tensioning elements in outdoor and leisure applications. They are weatherproof, UV-resistant and particularly durable - perfect for long-term outdoor use

What are the advantages of 7x19 stainless steel wire ropes?

Stainless steel wire ropes with a 7x19 construction are particularly flexible and at the same time very resilient. They are ideal for hoists, lifting devices, pulleys and mobile applications. The many individual wires ensure even force distribution and a long service life

What is a plastic-coated wire rope used for?

A galvanized wire rope with a plastic coating not only protects against corrosion, but also prevents injuries caused by individual wire ends and protects sensitive surfaces. It is often used in horticulture, for animal enclosures, for safety systems or for barriers

What is the difference between a stainless steel wire rope and a galvanized wire rope?

Stainless steel wire ropes are made of rust-proof stainless steel (e.g. V2A or V4A) and offer particularly high corrosion protection - ideal for use outdoors, in damp environments or in the maritime sector. Galvanized wire ropes, on the other hand, are coated with a layer of zinc that protects against rust but is not quite as resistant as stainless steel. However, they are generally cheaper and sufficient for many indoor and outdoor applications
