When you need strong, reliable cable for lifting, securing, or rigging around the farm, aircraft cable is your go-to choice. This 3/16 inch galvanized cable gives you 4,200 pounds of breaking strength in a flexible, easy-to-handle size. Whether you’re setting up a hay conveyor, rigging equipment lifts, or creating tie-downs for your trailer loads, this cable handles the job without the bulk and stiffness of larger wire rope.
What You’re Getting
- 7×19 construction provides excellent flexibility while maintaining strength for farm use
- Galvanized coating protects against rust and corrosion in all weather conditions
- 4,200 pound breaking strength handles heavy loads with confidence
- 250-foot reel gives you plenty of material for multiple projects or long runs
- Foot markings help you measure cuts without additional tools
Built for Real Farm Work
Aircraft cable is perfect for applications where you need strength in a smaller diameter. Use it for hay elevator cables, equipment tie-downs, barn door hardware, or anywhere regular rope just isn’t strong enough. The 7×19 construction means it’s flexible enough to work with while still handling serious loads – ideal for winch lines, pulley systems, or securing equipment for transport.
Made to Last
The galvanized finish keeps this cable working in tough farm conditions. It won’t rust out after a season of hay hauling or barn work like uncoated cable. The 7×19 strand construction distributes load evenly, preventing the single-point failures you get with cheaper cable.
Good to Know
When cutting aircraft cable, use proper cable cutters to prevent fraying – regular bolt cutters just mash the ends. The reel has foot markings to help you measure exactly what you need. Keep some cable clamps and thimbles on hand for making professional-quality loops and connections. This diameter works great with 3/16 inch cable hardware you can find at most farm stores.
