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.
Trusted ropes for upstream drilling, production, and well servicing
WireCo's oil and gas rope portfolio covers the full spectrum of upstream wire rope applications — from rotary drilling lines and sand lines to production ropes and guideline wires. Manufactured by Union, these ropes are engineered for the demanding load cycles and environmental exposure inherent to onshore rigs and offshore platforms.
Drilling lines must withstand repeated bending over sheaves under high tension while maintaining consistent diameter and structural integrity. Union ropes are manufactured to API 9A specifications with controlled lay lengths, precise wire tolerances, and lubrication systems that extend field service life.
Stocking programs across major oil-producing regions ensure rapid availability for planned rig-ups and unplanned replacements alike.
