01 · Overview

Lifting Cable at a Glance

Lifting cables hang the door’s weight from the drums — galvanized steel wire rope, most commonly in 7×7 or 7×19 constructions (strands × wires), at diameters around Ø3–6 mm (1/8″–1/4″) for garage and industrial sectional doors [ESTIMATE]. 7×7 is stiffer and abrasion-resistant; 7×19 is more flexible for tighter drum radii. Wire rope for lifting applications typically conforms to the EN 12385 family of steel-wire-rope standards [ESTIMATE].

RAX supplies galvanized lifting cables cut to door height and travel, terminated to your drum groove and bottom-fixture pattern, and matched to the drums, springs and shafts produced in the same factory. Cables ship with SGS material reports and batch traceability; small repair quantities and full OEM containers both supported (FCL & LCL).

7×7 / 7×19 constructions and Ø3–6 mm sizing are industry conventions [ESTIMATE]; EN 12385 applicability to be verified per rope [ESTIMATE]. RAX-specific claims are from the approved brand brief.
