B/A Products Super Swaged Winch Cable with Self-Locking Swivel Hook
Winch Cables can also be known as: winch line, wire rope, wrecker cables, car carrier cables, and rollback cables. These Super Swaged Winch Cables from B/A Products have a compact design that allows for up to 26% greater strength than standard winch lines of the same diameter. Due to the swaging process the outer wires have a larger surface area than that of standard winch lines providing better resistance to abrasion, pig tailing, and kinking. Due to the fact that the winch cable is already compacted during the swaging process, there is less space within the winch rope to compact if it is exposed to crushing. These winch cables come with a self-locking hook that provides greater safety because the hook will not come un-locked when under load. :
This cable starts out as the next size bigger cable and through the swaging process it compresses the cable down to the next size smaller. This makes the strength of the cable equal to the next size bigger but it does make the cable less flexible. Example:
A 3/8" swaged cable starts out as a 7/16" steel core cable, then through the swaging process gets compressed down to a 3/8" swaged cable. The 3/8" swaged cable has the working load limit of a 7/16" standard steel core cable. Please Note: Product Discontinued- ALL SALES ARE FINAL!
- STRONGER - Compact design allows for up to 26% greater strength than standard winch lines of the same diameter
- MORE DURABLE - Due to the swaging process the outer wires have a larger surface area than that of standard winch lines providing better resistance to abrasion, pig tailing & kinking
- RESISTANT TO DRUM CRUSHING - Because the winch line is already compacted during the swaging process there is less space within the rope to compact if exposed to crushing

Wire Rope Cables: Durable Steel and Fiber Winch Lines
Wire rope cables are the backbone of any winching operation, providing the strength, flexibility, and reliability needed to safely lift, pull, or secure heavy loads. From towing and recovery to off-roading, hauling, and industrial applications, wire rope cables ensure consistent performance in demanding conditions. Whether you need steel winch cables, wire winch cables, or a replacement wire cable for winches, selecting the right type and size is critical for safety and efficiency.
Why Choose Wire Rope Cables
Wire rope cables offer numerous advantages over alternative winch line materials:
- Strength and Durability: Steel rope provides superior tensile strength, making it suitable for heavy loads and harsh environments.
- Variety of Options: Available in fiber core, steel core, super flex, and super swaged configurations to match the specific needs of your winch and application.
- Versatility: Sizes range from ⅜” to ⅞” and lengths from 35 feet up to 350 feet, with working load limits that vary by size and type.
- Reliable Performance: Wire rope cables resist abrasion, stretching, and shock loads, making them ideal for repeated use in towing, recovery, and industrial operations.
Our selection includes top brands such as All-Grip, SafeAll, B/A Products, and AW Direct, ensuring quality and reliability for every job.

Wire Rope Cable Shopping Guide
When selecting wire rope cables for your winch, keep these factors in mind:
- Cable Type – Fiber core cables are easier to handle, while steel core cables offer maximum strength. Super flex cables provide additional flexibility for repeated use, and super swaged cables ensure strong pre-attached fittings.
- Diameter and Length – Choose a diameter suitable for your winch and expected loads. Length should accommodate the distance required for lifting or pulling without overloading the winch drum.
- Working Load Limit – Always select a cable rated above your heaviest anticipated load for safety and longevity.
- Applications – Determine whether the cable will be used for towing, recovery, off-road, industrial, or hauling purposes to match the appropriate material and construction.
- Maintenance – Regular inspection for fraying, corrosion, or kinks extends cable life and ensures safe operation.

FAQ: Wire Rope Cables
What is a wire rope cable for winches?
A wire rope cable is a durable, multi-strand steel or fiber line used in conjunction with a winch to lift or pull heavy loads safely.
How do I choose between steel and fiber core cables?
Steel cables are stronger and more durable, suitable for industrial and recovery applications. Fiber core cables are lighter and easier to handle, ideal for smaller loads and general towing.
What lengths and sizes are available?
We carry wire rope cables from ⅜” to ⅞” in diameter and lengths from 35 feet up to 350 feet, with working load limits varying by size and construction.
Can wire rope cables be used for off-road and recovery work?
Yes, wire rope cables are commonly used in off-roading, recovery, towing, and hauling applications due to their strength and reliability.
How should I maintain my wire rope cable?
Inspect regularly for fraying, corrosion, or kinks. Lubricate steel cables as recommended and replace any damaged sections promptly to ensure safe operation.
