Steel Wire Rope.
1 mm to 90 mm.
EEK has been an authorised Usha Martin distributor since the 1960s. We supply steel wire rope from 1 mm to 90 mm, Usha Martin from 3 mm to 90 mm, in eight construction families, fibre core or steel core, bright or galvanised. Every reel is traceable to its Usha Martin test certificate.
We also offer fully assembled cables (thimble eyes, swaged ends, wedge sockets and other terminations), manufactured in-house at our Kamani Works to your exact specification.
Built strand by strand.
Engineered for life.
Steel wire rope is constructed by laying multiple individual wires into strands, then laying those strands around a core: fibre (FC), wire-strand (WSC) or independent wire-rope (IWRC). Construction designations like 6×36 mean six outer strands, each containing 36 wires.
| Lay type | Description | Typical use | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular lay |  | Wires in each strand are laid opposite to the direction of the strands. (Right lay shown.) | The most common lay. Resists kinking and untwisting, easy to handle, and more crush-resistant than Lang lay. |
| Lang lay |  | Wires and strands are laid in the same direction. (Right lay shown.) | Better abrasion resistance, flexibility and fatigue life than regular lay, but more prone to kinking and untwisting. |
| Right lay |  | Strands laid to the right around the core. (Regular lay shown.) | The standard construction for most applications. |
| Left lay |  | Strands laid to the left around the core. (Regular lay shown.) | Special-purpose: rarely used on construction equipment. |
| Alternate lay |  | Strands alternate between right regular lay and right Lang lay. | Combines the strengths of regular and Lang lay. Used for boom hoist and winch lines. |
Eight families.
Every diameter, every grade.
Three Usha Martin product families cover virtually every industrial lifting and hoisting need: Hyflex (general engineering & elevator), Hyper (non-rotating crane) and Powerform (compacted).
Steel plant to spool.

Usha Martin manufactures the entire rope from raw steel: no third-party rod, no third-party wire, no compromises. EEK has carried it to Indian industry as an authorised distributor since the 1960s.
Steel developed, manufactured and certified by Usha Martin's own steel plant. Tailor-made to deliver consistent rope quality and the desired end-properties.
Pickling and patenting lines, wire-drawing machinery, computerised rope design, and in-house breaking-load and fatigue testing.
