Python® Ultra CP
Super high strength crane and assembly rope (HiPac®, PlastGuard®, DoPar®)
- 10-strand fatigue resistant construction
- DoPar® – Double Parallel Inner- outer strands with
no internal cross-overs - HiPac® design to increase breaking strength
- Shaped outer wires for optimum sheave contact
- PlastGuard® avoids premature inner wire breaks
- Permanent lubricated core
Main Applications
Super high strength wire rope for high capacity overhead cranes including safety critical lifts and high risk applications.
Because of the HiPac® manufacturing technique, the availability of very specialized rope making machines and an innovative method to pastic coat the core this rope can be made up to 2-7/8” (76 mm) in diameter. Ideal for all “super cranes” Note that Python® ULTRA with ForcePac compaction can only be made up to a diameter of 1-1/4” (32 mm) but about 8-10% stronger. Well, you can’t have it all!
Rope Characteristics
Python®-Ultra CD is a super high strength rope. This rope has been developed so it can be used at fleet angles up to 4˚. The DoPar® construction in combination with a plastic coated core to lock-in lubricant ensures best bending performance.
HiPac® strand compaction results in an extreme smooth outer rope surface and the removal of most of the constructional stretch. This is an important feature if you require a low stretch rope for cables assemblies or applications where initial rope stretch must be as low as possible. Ultra CD provides a strength increase of up approximately 42-45% over regular 6-strand constructions. Refer to the conservatively calculated strength tables.
Python®-Ultra requires corresponding drum grooving directions; e.g. use a right hand lay rope if the drum is left hand grooved.

Python® Ultra CD is NOT rotation resistant or non-rotating.
Breaking Strengths
Note: The maximum CAPACITY, WORKING LOAD LIMIT (WLL), or LINE PULL of the rope usually is 1/5 of the below stated values. For specific information consult the standards applicable to your rope application.
