Rotation Resistance (Non-Rotating)

The balanced design of CASAR Starlift Xtra results in minimal torque under load, providing superior rotation resistance. Under a normal working load range, CASAR Starlift Xtra has virtually no tendency to rotate, making it ideal for both single-part and multi-part hoist systems and also for those involving long falls where rotation resistance is required.

CASAR Starlift Xtra meets both the Category 1 requirements according to ASTM A1023 and the general guidance on the use of a swivel given in Annex A ISO 21669. Due to its superior rotation resistant properties, CASAR Starlift Xtra may be used with a swivel.

Resistance to Wear

The multi-strand design of CASAR Starlift Xtra combined with compacted strands and lang lay construction helps to maximize resistance to wear by greatly increasing wire and strand surface areas that contact sheaves and drums. Internally, the enhanced surfaces of the compacted strands help minimize strand-to-strand nicking between strand layers. This feature results in greater resistance to fatigue.

Resistance to Crushing and Abrasion on Drums

The characteristics of CASAR Starlift Xtra enhance its performance in multiple-layer spooling as well. The design of CASAR Starlift Xtra provides excellent resistance to both abrasion and scrubbing that occurs at kickover areas and crushing that occurs at the crossover points in multiple-layer drum spooling. The rope construction combined with the compacted strand design of CASAR Starlift Xtra results in a rope cross-section of very high density. These features provide increased resistance to drum-related wear.
