A tie down ratchet and strap includes, a ratchet shaft rotatably mounted in a ratchet body having a slot for receiving a wind-up strap therethough, a pair of ratchet wheels mounted on the ratchet shaft, a ratchet handle with a pawl engaging the ratchet wheels to rotate the ratchet shaft, a locking bar securing the ratchet wheels and ratchet shaft in position when the pawl is disengaged from the ratchet wheels, an anchor strap with a connector for securing the ratchet assembly to a first anchor point, and a wind-up strap including a non-metallic fabric strap with a braided metal outer cover extending continuously over the length of the non-metallic fabric strap.

A belt for an elevator system includes a plurality of tension members arranged along a belt width and extending longitudinally along a length of the belt, and a jacket at least partially enclosing the plurality of tension members. The jacket defines a traction side of the belt configured to interface with a traction sheave of an elevator system, and is formed from a self-extinguishing fluoroelastomer material. An elevator system includes a hoistway, an elevator car located in the hoistway and movable therein, and a belt operably connected to the elevator car to suspend and/or drive the elevator car along the hoistway. The belt includes a plurality of tension members arranged along a belt width and extending longitudinally along a length of the belt, and a jacket at least partially enclosing the plurality of tension members. The jacket is formed from a self-extinguishing fluoroelastomer material.

A belt for a lifting system includes a tension member extending along a longitudinal length of the belt. The tension member is formed from a layer of polyethylene material in tape or film form. A jacket at least partially encloses the tension member. The jacket defines a traction side of the belt configured to interface with a traction sheave of a lifting system. An elevator system includes a hoistway, an elevator car located in the hoistway and movable therein, and a belt operably connected to the elevator car to suspend and/or drive the elevator car along the hoistway.

A flexible pulling rope includes a main rope body and a main rope sleeve. The main rope body is formed by connecting a rope from head to tail. The main rope body includes a connecting part formed by two parallel ropes and two pulling parts located at two ends of the connecting part. The main rope sleeve sleeves the connecting part. Two ends of the main rope sleeve are respectively connected to two ends of the connecting part. The present disclosure also provides a method for manufacturing a flexible pulling rope. By the arrangement of the above structure, the two ends of the main rope sleeve are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting part. This can not only form a whole by the connecting part and the main rope sleeve, improve the strength of the product, and make the product bear higher loads when pulling heavy objects.

A cable comprises a first and a second thimble (2, 4), and at least one main yarn (6) and an auxiliary yarn (7). The first and the second thimble are provided at opposite ends of the cable. The at least one main yarn (6) and the auxiliary yarn (7) each forms turns around the first and second thimble (2, 4). Each thimble (2, 4) comprises a bearing surface (40), and holds a stack (19) of layers (10) of turns of the main yarn (6). A stack (119) of turns of the auxiliary yarn (7) comprising at least a first layer (13) of turns of the auxiliary yarn (7) lies on the bearing surface (40) of the respective thimble (2, 4).
