Wire rope is available in various constructions, sizes, and finishes. It is mainly manufactured using stainless steel, although steel wire rope is also widely used for applications that require strength, durability, and load-bearing performance. Wire ropes come in different classifications, with 6×19 and 6×37 being the most popular.

- Lifting and hoisting: Attaching wire rope to a crane or hoist and fitting it with swivels, shackles, or hooks to attach to a load and move it in a controlled manner.
- Support: Using wire rope to support suspension bridges or towers.
- Transmission of mechanical power: Using wire rope to transmit force in mechanisms, such as a Bowden cable or the control surfaces of an airplane connected to levers and pedals in the cockpit.
- Separating, positioning, securing, removing, repairing, readjusting, supporting, and bracing: Using wire rope to perform these tasks safely and effectively.
