Mining operations subject wire ropes to the most extreme abuse profiles in any industry. WireCo's Union brand manufactures hoist, shovel, and dragline ropes purpose-built for the specific demands of surface and underground mining worldwide.
Engineered for the world's most demanding lifting applications
Crane ropes are among the most safety-critical components in lifting operations. They must deliver consistent performance under repeated bending cycles, high loads, and harsh operating environments — from mobile and crawler cranes on construction sites to ship-to-shore gantry systems in the world's busiest ports.
WireCo's crane rope portfolio includes compacted-strand and standard constructions optimized for specific crane types. All ropes are manufactured to international standards including EN 12385-4, API 9A, and ISO 4309, delivering longer service life, superior spooling behavior, and predictable discard characteristics that directly reduce operating cost per lift.
With manufacturing expertise spanning over a century and stocking locations across major crane markets worldwide, WireCo supports crane operations from job site to job site with reliable, proven solutions from CASAR and Union.
