How Giant Steel Cables Are Made In Massive Production Line | Over 10,000 Feet In Length
What the hell is 'factoran' and why is this credible information? It's not.
Did you know that giant steel cables can stretch over 10,000 feet in length — and are manufactured in massive production lines to hold up bridges, skyscrapers, ships, and even aircraft carriers?
In this documentary, The Factoran takes you inside the world’s mega factories where thousands of steel wires are drawn, twisted, and compacted under extreme tension to form cables with incredible strength. From raw steel rods, wire drawing, precise stranding and closing, to lubrication, coiling, and load testing, discover how engineering turns thin wires into the backbone of modern infrastructure.

This video is supposed to be about the production of wire rope for making steel cables. Did you think we wouldn't notice the video showed the manufacture of rebar instead? Stop insulting your audience and taking them for granted.
Thumbs down.

Amazingly interesting! Thank you so much. I enjoyed every facet of the process. A fabulous video, and thanks again! 😃😃😃😃😎😎😎😎❤️❤️❤️❤️
@garymiller5937man i am so sick of this droning AI voice
@michielderpyaJust imagine being the cable Lol
@DeantuanCherry-m3nThank you so much for this informative video.
@MetalFactorsFlowThe nephilim used them as condoms
@Drbob369video doesn't match narration wtf
@MikeSamoniawho knew?
@RandomHate50+ years ago I was employed as a rigger for a company that specialized in all types of steel cable. Maritime, elevators, agricultural, industrial, construction: The business had all kinds of various sizes, weaves and compositions of steel cable(s)..My employer's niche was selecting and fabricating proper cable for specific function. And fabricating into needed design(s)
It was a pretty cool job. But working all day around spools of cable the width of which could be around that of a baseball bat, or slightly larger is dangerous. One guy had his leg broken from the end of an unsecured spool of cable.
I trip out when I visit the Golden Gate Bridge. Not just because the size, number of and design of cables. But also because of accounts of said ginormous cables snapping, "...like string..." as the result of earthquakes.
Always remember: "You can break the laws of man but you cannot break the laws of physics" (reddiver (b. 1950- )
Steel wire ropes never break.
@AfricaUnfolding1004What might have been an informative video appears riddled with errors. Other people have mentioned the images of rebar when wire is being discussed. Something else: the robot narrator says wire cable was developed in Germany in the 1830s, but at 1:10 that is a nazi flag (from an entire century LATER) being prominently shown. Please get your historical images correct too. Thumbs down.

I hear ya
@peterblack5741Can you splice them? How do you connect the 2 ends of a ski lift cable? Is a 1" cable stronger than a 1" solid bar?
@Hugh2bGarbage, absolute junk
@sturben2453Riggers are so under recognized...
@earleburtonjr9292We use 9mm thick metal rope when winching cables through ducting and its breaking strain is 12t, I wonder what the breaking strain is on the much larger type used on the Brooklyn bridge, it’s impressive that it has lasted so long.
@Markd1982NFFCSo many different things going on here I see iron ore coal ore they're making expanded metal and they're making rebar
@bryandubose1188Interesting to a layman.
@jimbomaltby4457Thank.you sir
@Sundar-cp8lfWatching from Jamaica ,and I love these kind of information on these very important things are made ,thanks very much ,I'm deon
@deonwiley1923A simple question is that Bruce Greenwood narrating
@jamespatton9780Very informative but sadly much of the visuals here don't mesh with the narration!
@robdamannwomen can survive without men
@MindsNuggetI find the self-similar structure most interesting.
@MusicEngineeerInteresting❤

@BrianBattlesReally, starting at the mine. Give me a break. Thumbs down, down, down.
@pettigrewwoodworkswhat a cable😂😂
@HiddenStory-f7lMade from all smaller cables. Like...cableception
@920WASHBURNThe supplier of the steel cables for the Brooklyn Bridge reportedly substituted weaker materials.
@ianpaterson50001830‘s in Germany and I see Nazis? Oh dear, this is educational…
@stefanp.1416So was this wire making or rebar making video!!
@julieprice4763why is this educational video is filled withh YT Ads so much I cant even enjoy
@SomahorsedjyI used to work in the wire and cable machinery field. Our machines were all for power cable, but many of the processes are the same. This video was great but barely scratched the surface around the involved machines. What is interesting, for steel cable, is that cradles holding the wire reels, when stranding, they must turn to avoid any torsion in the strands. If this is not done, the cable itself becomes like a giant spring and would twist and coil wildly and be unusable. All in all, a very well done video.
