In lang lay ropes, the wires in the strands are laid in the same direction as
the strands in the rope. These ropes are recommended for excavating, construction, and
mining applications which require:
- Draglines
- Hoist lines
- Dredgelines
- Other similar lines.
Lang lay ropes are more flexible and have greater wearing surface per wire than regular
lay ropes. In addition, since the outside wires in lang lay rope lie at an angle to the
rope axis, internal stress due to bending over sheaves and drums is reduced causing lang
lay ropes to be more resistant to bending fatigue.
