Yacht Rigging systems

Arcus Wire, Australia’s leading supplier of quality stainless steel wire rope and fittings, has confirmed the release into the New Zealand market, a new ‘compacted' strand wire under the hamma™ brand.

hamma™ strand has been developed to provide the marine and architectural industries with a quality ‘compacted’ strand that has a smooth clean finish, aesthetically superior to any
product currently on the market, while maintaining the strength and corrosion resistance of all traditional stainless steel wire rope supplied by Arcus Wire.
As hamma™ is a ‘compacted’ strand there is no need to pre-stress the wire. This process of
strand compaction decreases the constructional stretch of the wire which also results in
breaking loads approximately 30% higher than conventional strands.
Arcus Wire have been working on this ‘compacted’ strand wire with their Korean partners  since feedback from the markets identified the need for a high performance ‘compacted’ strand that consistently provided a quality smooth finish, superior lustre and continuity of supply at a competitive price. We are proud to launch hamma™ in New Zealand and believe it a quality product that will become the leading high strength stainless steel wire rope solution for marine and architectural rigging applications worldwide.
