Don't think this material is omnipotent just because it's called wire rope. In fact, if you choose the wrong type, in some cases, its security risks may be greater. For example, the load-bearing capacity of ropes with different braiding methods and diameters is very different. In general, it is not allowed to increase the lifting weight after the rope is selected.
Similar to the general steel, when the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity, the wire rope will appear obvious or not obvious deformation. Generally speaking, thick ropes are less likely to deform than thin ones. However, the thick rope may break without special treatment. That's why the thicker the rope, the better.
Generally, at the beginning of construction, experts will give a plan of what diameter of rope to choose. It is strictly forbidden to aggravate without violating the scheme in the project. You know, the hidden danger of high-altitude lifting itself is very big. Once the fracture occurs, it may cause major or even catastrophic accidents.
