Wire rope performance is governed by two primary ratings: the Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS), which is the theoretical point of imminent failure under ideal conditions; and the Working Load Limit (WLL), the maximum load intended for regular use. To ensure safety against real-world variables like fatigue and dynamic loading, the WLL is calculated by applying a safety factor (typically a ratio of 1:5 or 1:10) to the MBS.
