Description
Bridon Tiger® 6R Bristar® is one of the most widely used wire rope constructions for underground mining friction winders, combining the well-proven 6R strand design with Bristar® technology for improved performance characteristics on friction winding systems.
Construction context: Friction winders rely on the rope’s grip against the winder sheave rather than being wound directly onto a drum, which places specific demands on rope construction — consistent diameter, predictable elongation, and reliable fatigue performance under the repeated bending cycles of shaft hoisting duty.
Typical applications: Underground mine shaft hoisting on friction winder systems, where a proven track record of reliable, predictable performance is a key safety and operational consideration.
Why this construction is widely specified: Shaft hoisting is safety-critical mining infrastructure, and rope constructions with an established, well-understood in-service performance history are generally preferred for this reason. Tiger 6R Bristar® benefits from this track record across mining operations worldwide.
Manufacturing and quality: Manufactured by Bridon-Bekaert with full mill certification and test documentation supplied with every reel.
