Abstract

High Modulus – High Tenacity (HM-HT) fiber ropes are increasingly used in mining due to their corrosion resistance, high breaking force, good bending flexibility, and lower density compared to steel wire ropes. These properties facilitate easier handling and higher payload capacities, especially beneficial for deep hoisting applications. Standards such as SABS 0294 (South Africa) and TAS (Germany) highlight the suitability of these fibers for mining hoists. At depths of 3,000 m, HM-HT fiber ropes offer a payload three times greater than steel ropes and potentially longer service lives due to lower loading.
