Mining wire rope is a special steel wire rope used in mines and mine operations. It is designed specifically for high-risk scenarios such as coal mines. It is a key steel variety in the coal industry and includes three types: phosphate coated, galvanized, and smooth. Its applications cover mine hoisting, winch traction, continuous conveying, and other scenarios. It must pass the mandatory Coal Safety Mark (MA) certification and comply with domestic and international standards such as MT716-2005 and ISO3154-88.
