We optimize carbon steel chemical formulas and zinc crystallization metrics to supply robust industrial wires tailored for Lomé’s hyper-saline maritime zones and the demanding mineral extraction sites in the interior regions.
Optimized for reducing bending fatigue, friction wear, and radial tension. Essential for urban development, cargo elevators, and commercial towers across Togo.

Detailed Technical Specs
Engineered for high-frequency ship-to-shore gantry cranes, boom hoists, container spreaders, and heavy rigging configurations in regional maritime terminals.
Detailed Technical SpecsAs the logical maritime gateway to the landlocked countries of West Africa (Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger), Togo’s economic spine relies heavily on the Port of Lomé—the only deepwater port in the region with a depth of 16.6 meters. This massive maritime traffic demands continuous operations of high-performance container cranes, straddle carriers, and bulk ship loaders. The structural cables utilized in these port machines must withstand heavy fatigue under continuous salt spray and rapid temperature fluctuations.
With the rapid expansion of the Lomé Container Terminal (LCT) and the Togo Terminal, the demand for high-strength steel wire rope has grown exponentially. Standard steel cables fail prematurely due to high humidity and chloride attacks characteristic of the Gulf of Guinea. Our hot-dip galvanized wire ropes are manufactured with a dense, uniform zinc-iron alloy barrier layer, preventing moisture penetration and guaranteeing prolonged duty cycle hours.
To address these maritime hazards, we deploy Compacted Strand Wire Ropes (IWRC) which increase the metal cross-sectional area, reducing external friction and wire wear against the crane sheaves. This lowers maintenance downtime and preserves operational safety.
Togo is one of the largest producers of phosphate in Africa, with primary mining hubs centered around Hahotoé and Dagbati. Draglines, bulk conveyors, and heavy industrial winches operating in these mineral zones face high abrasion from fine phosphate dust.
Our specialized carbon steel wire ropes, featuring high-tensile cores and specialized lubrication, resist dust accretion and structural abrasion, ensuring consistent performance in open-pit mines.
Every wire rope leaving our facility conforms to recognized international standards including ISO 2408, EN 12385-4, API Spec 9A, and ASTM A1023. Understanding the mechanics of zinc-coating and structural formulation is vital to choosing the appropriate wire rope for West African logistics.
| Steel Wire Rope Specification | Common Core Selection | Tensile Strength Grade | Best Application Environment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6x19 / 6x37 Class Standard | Fiber Core (FC) / Steel Core (IWRC) | 1770 MPa / 1870 MPa / 1960 MPa | General industrial hoisting, construction rigging in Togo |
| 8x19S / 8x19W Elevator Series | Natural Fiber Core (Sisal) | 1370/1770 Dual Tension | Passenger and traction freight elevators, urban Lomé structures |
| 35(W)x7 Non-Rotating / Low-Rotation | Steel Core (IWRC) | 1960 MPa / 2160 MPa | Tower cranes, port mobile cranes, deep-shaft mining winches |
| 6xK36WS Compacted Strand | Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) | 1770 MPa / 1960 MPa | Heavy-duty dockside gantry cranes, marine offshore towing winches |
Electro-galvanizing provides a bright cosmetic finish but deposits a thin zinc layer (typically less than 15g/m²). For Togo’s humid coastal climates, Hot-Dip Galvanization is imperative.
Our hot-dip galvanizing process achieves coating weights exceeding 200g/m² (Class A coating), forming an iron-zinc alloy structure that acts as a sacrificial anode. Even if the steel is scratched during operation, the surrounding zinc shields the steel from rust.
Fiber Cores (FC), made from synthetic materials or natural sisal, provide high flexibility and store internal lubricants that slowly release during stress.
Independent Wire Rope Cores (IWRC) utilize a steel strand core, boosting tensile strength by roughly 7-10% and minimizing diameter reduction under extreme pressures, making them optimal for multi-layer drum winding.
