Application fit

Is Type W Magnet Crane 2 kV right for your machine?

Lifting-magnet leads on scrap-yard and steel-mill cranes face simultaneous reeling tension, radiant foundry heat and jagged steel cut-through — conditions that destroy standard portable cords. This 2 kV Type W construction combines Class K 30 AWG rope stranding with a double-layer aramid-reinforced thermoset jacket.

Motorised monospiral reel

Suitable

Engineered for spring-driven and motorized magnet take-up reels on scrap-handling overhead, gantry and boom cranes.

Vertical / spreader reel

Suitable

Suitable for vertical magnet drop leads when terminated with ≥ 12 in (305 mm) basket-weave strain-relief grips.

Festoon & line chain

Suitable

Performs reliably on foundry and steel-mill crane festoon trolleys where minimum loop diameter meets 7.0–13.0 in (177.8–330.2 mm).

Trailing & towing

Suitable

Double aramid-reinforced thermoset jacket resists metal cut-through, pinch crushing, puncture and dragging across scrap piles.

Immersion & wet locations

Suitable

UL Listed Type W 90 °C wet or dry; thermoset EPDM and jacket operate from −50 °C in outdoor scrap yards to +105 °C by furnaces.

Spreader gravity collector basket

Not suitable

Built for tensioned motorised reels; for free-coiling gravity baskets use a dedicated basket cable.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

How does Type W Magnet Crane Cable differ from standard mining Type W cable?
While both share the 2,000 V Type W voltage class under UL 62 and ICEA S-75-381, this magnet crane construction upgrades three critical elements for scrap-yard and foundry lifting magnets: (1) extra-flexible Class K 30 AWG rope-lay copper conductors (up to 1,330 strands in 2/0 AWG) instead of coarser Class I/M stranding, (2) a paper separator and non-wicking hygroscopic impact fillers for high-cycle reeling flex, and (3) an extra-thick (3.2–4.8 mm) double-layer aramid fiber-reinforced thermoset jacket engineered specifically to stop jagged steel cut-through and pinch crushing.
Why does the datasheet list both 105 °C to −50 °C and UL 90 °C wet or dry?
The cross-linked thermoset EPDM insulation and aramid-reinforced jacket compounds are thermally stable for continuous operation from +105 °C down to −50 °C in foundry and outdoor scrap-yard service, whereas the formal UL 62 / CSA C22.2 No. 96 Type W listing is rated at 90 °C wet or dry.
How should the cable be supported at the lifting magnet and take-up reel terminations?
Always install heavy-duty basket-weave strain-relief grips of at least 12 in (305 mm) length over the outer jacket at both the reel end and the magnet drop end. This distributes dynamic pulling and shock loads along the aramid-reinforced jacket rather than transferring tension into the Class K copper lugs.
Which sizes are available in 2-conductor versus 4-conductor configurations?
2-conductor (Black, White) is manufactured in 7 sizes from 8 AWG through 2/0 AWG (81 A to 296 A) for standard two-wire DC lifting magnets. 4-conductor (Black, White, Red, Green) is manufactured in 4 sizes from 8 AWG through 2 AWG (56 A to 132 A) for split-coil magnets, motorized grapples or circuits requiring an integral equipment ground conductor.
