Impact® Swaged Wire Rope – High-Density Compact Logging Cable
Impact® Swaged Wire Rope (also known as compact swaged) delivers the highest performance cable we offer for demanding logging applications. Built with the greatest linear density of any rope in our lineup, it weighs more per foot—and that added density is the key to its exceptional strength, abrasion resistance, and long service life.
Unlike standard swaged rope, Impact® wire rope is double compacted. Individual strands are compacted first, and then the entire rope is compacted again after closing. The result is an ultra-smooth outer surface, superior drum-crush resistance, and maximum durability in high-load environments.
Pro Tip: Impact® swaged rope is significantly firmer and denser than regular swaged or traditional wire rope. It is engineered for performance and longevity in logging applications. Handle carefully during unpacking and installation, especially if you are new to compacted cable. This rope is designed for heavy-duty skylines, skid lines, and droplines—not general utility use.
