Bigfoot Introduces Wire Rope Steel Choker Handles
Bigfoot’ s new wire rope handles offer an alternative to standard handles.
In the realm of construction and heavyduty equipment utilization, durability and reliability are paramount. Bigfoot’ s introduction of wire rope handles offers an advanced alternative to standard rope handles for outrigger pads. Their strength and resilience make them an asset worth checking out, particularly in challenging environments like mud, ice or snow.
Unlike traditional rope handles, Bigfoot claims the wire rope handles offer unparalleled durability, ensuring longevity even in the harshest conditions. The strength of wire rope provides a robust grip, capable of withstanding immense pressure and strain. This attribute is especially crucial for larger pads, where the load-bearing capacity is paramount.
The non-absorbent nature of wire rope handles ensures a consistent grip regardless of environmental factors. Unlike their rope counterparts, which may become slippery when exposed to moisture, wire rope handles maintain their traction, thereby enhancing safety and usability.
The longevity of wire rope handles also contributes to cost-effectiveness over time. By significantly reducing the need for frequent replacements, they prove to be a wise investment for construction companies and equipment operators alike.
