Redbak+® is Bekaert Australia’s plastic-infused shovel rope which combines the quality of TUFF8 rope technology with specifically engineered polymers to create a well-balanced plastic infused rope ensuring extended service life.

Bekaert’s TUFF 8 mining ropes offer effective solutions to one of the most demanding rope applications in the mining industry. Manufactured with class leading machinery at our Newcastle ropery, TUFF 8 ropes are recommended for use in dragline applications and are designed to withstand the pressure placed on them by mining equipment.

Bekaert’s TUFF 6 mining ropes offer effective solutions to one of the most demanding rope applications in the mining industry. Manufactured with class leading machinery at our Newcastle ropery, TUFF 6 ropes are recommended for use in dragline applications and are designed to withstand the pressure placed on them by mining equipment.

Bekaert Australia’s high performance, cushion core, 6 or 8 strand wire rope. The plastic coated core provides a cushioning effect preventing internal wire breaks, thus reducing the effects of loopy wires. Suited to draglines running high RSL’s and in tough digging conditions.

Bekaert Australia's premium fully plasticated rope, combing the quality of Tuff 8 technology with special polymers to produce a rope that boasts extended service life.

A spiral strand is a composite of multiple layers of helically twisted steel wires. Layers are spun in opposite directions providing constructional and torque stability. The use of high strength steel wires makes it a good candidate as tension member in static applications. Our proprietary Bekaert blocking compound fills the cable on the inside, reducing the impact of steel-steel contact, and adding an additional barrier against corrosion.

The Zebra is a Bridon® brand unique hourglass plastic shapes provides visibility to the 6-strand construction for shovels.

In the crane and industrial industry, the WRI® PS 620 rope is a general purpose 6 strand galvanized rope produced with a steel core, fully lubricated during manufacture produced in accordance with EN 12385. In underground mining, specially selected wire tensile grades and 6 strand construction enhance wear resistance. Specially formulated lubrication enhances wear properties, increases rope performance, and reduces environmental impact due to fly-off and the calibrated cut lengths and custom pad eyes simplify installation and reduce down-time. Excellent value for less demanding applications.
