An excellent choice both for applications in wet conditions in which rust may be an issue and for installations in which appearance is important. Galvanized wire rope carries most of the strength of an equally-sized standard rope but adds the rust prevention of galvanized wires. Many domestic and imported brands feature galvanized wire rope and can be purchased from Trinity Sling in sizes from ½” to 2” in diameter. Galvanized wire rope is also suitable for use in wire rope slings used for overhead lifting.
