Why KETTP Uses Elevator-Grade Steel Rope in Our Parking Lifts

Because safety, durability, and performance come from the core.

What Is Steel Wire Rope?

Steel wire rope is a high-strength mechanical component made by twisting steel wires into strands and laying them around a core. It's used in lifting, hoisting, and support applications. Depending on construction and use, rope quality and performance can vary significantly.

In the parking lift industry, the two common types are:

  • Elevator-grade rope (GB/T 8903-2024)
  • General-purpose rope (GB/T 20118-2017)

Comparison: Elevator vs. General Steel Rope

Feature Elevator-Grade (GB/T 8903-2024) General-Purpose (GB/T 20118-2017)
Design Purpose Vertical lifting under high-frequency use Broad industrial applications
Structure Precision-controlled lay (e.g., 8×19S+IWRC) General strand structure
Fatigue Resistance Very high, millions of cycles Lower fatigue resistance
Corrosion Resistance Advanced galvanized protection Basic coating
Traceability Batch traceable and certified Limited traceability

Why KETTP Chooses Elevator Steel Rope

  • Enhanced Safety: Complies with strict elevator standards for tension and strength.
  • Longer Lifespan: Exceptional fatigue resistance for long-term daily operation.
  • Quieter, Smoother Performance: Ideal for vehicle parking lifts.
  • Better Corrosion Protection: For both indoor and outdoor installations.
  • Reliable Quality: Traceable, certified, and thoroughly tested before use.
