Description
Bridon Tiger® 6R is one of the most widely used wire rope constructions for underground mining friction winders, valued for its reliable, well-proven performance across a broad range of shaft hoisting installations.
Construction context: Friction winders rely on the rope’s grip against the winder sheave (via friction, rather than being wound directly onto a drum), which places specific demands on rope construction — consistent diameter, predictable elongation characteristics, and good fatigue life under the repeated bending cycles of shaft hoisting duty.
Typical applications: Underground mine shaft hoisting on friction winder systems, where the rope’s track record of reliable, predictable performance is a key operational consideration — shaft hoisting is safety-critical infrastructure, and ropes with an established performance history are often preferred for this reason.
Why 6R is widely specified: As one of the most common rope constructions used on friction winders globally, Tiger 6R benefits from a long track record of proven in-service performance across mining operations, giving operators confidence in its behaviour over a full duty cycle.
Manufacturing and quality: Manufactured by Bridon-Bekaert with full mill certification and test documentation supplied with every reel.
