Stainless steel rope has a wide variety of uses, all of which will not do well to have low quality wire rope.

From industrial uses and construction to mining and suspension, the utmost safety has to be maintained in all of these uses.

By using a high quality steel rope, you are ensuring that safety is paramount. Here are some reasons why you should never compromise on quality when you buy steel rope.

1. You can put lives at risk
This sounds really dramatic, but when you are using the steel rope for things like rigging equipment, you have to ensure that the rope is going to stand the test of time and carry a high amount of weight on a regular basis without breaking. It may cost a bit more to use the best quality available, but it is worth it in comparison to the losses you would incur should something go wrong.

2. You will spend more money
Steel rope is inspected for any damage on a regular basis. If there is anything wrong with it, then it has to be replaced. With a cheap, low quality rope you will find yourself replacing it on a regular basis. The rope may have been cheap to begin with but repeatedly replacing it will cost you a lot more in the long run.

3. You will do damage to your other equipment
If the steel rope you are using breaks, it could do permanent damage to the equipment around it. Steel rope has a finite lifespan and an even shorter one when a cheap, bad quality rope is used. If you are using a crane to lift equipment and the wire breaks, the equipment will most likely be extensively damaged. You will not only have to deal with the damage to the crane, but will have to replace the wire and the equipment that was damaged.
