Industries & uses

One of the biggest industries we deal with is the lifting gear industry who require wire rope products for use with cranes and winches, as well as towing. We have also supplied our range to the water and sewage industry and architectural and construction businesses too, building a firm reputation as a reliable and efficient supplier of rope fittings and associated products.

Wire rope has many uses and consists of strands of metal wire twisted together. Compared to steel cables and bars which can deteriorate and cause major failures, wire ropes have numerous elements to take up the load. The flexibility it offers is crucial and it has been used for years in various machinery ranging from cranes and elevators to transportation methods such as cable cars, railways and aerial lifts. Very often it can be coated in vinyl or nylon to increase durability and to protect against adverse weather conditions.

Our range includes the option to have PVC coating in white, black or clear and it is very flexible and aesthetically pleasing, being used for guard rails, washing lines, computer security cables and lock cable systems.
