Mining Ropes

High-performance wire ropes engineered for the extreme demands of surface and underground mining operations worldwide.

About Mining Ropes

Surface Mining wire ropes operate in some of the harshest industrial environments on earth, high abrasion, extreme impact loads, continuous duty cycles, and constant exposure to the elements. WireCo’s Surface Mining rope portfolio by Union is purpose-built for these demanding applications.

The Union product range includes wire ropes for electric rope shovels and draglines of all sizes. Each construction is engineered to maximize abrasion resistance, fatigue performance, and breaking strength in high-production environments.

Underground Mining applications present a different set of operational challenges, including deep shaft hoisting, dynamic loading, and critical safety requirements. WireCo’s Underground Mining rope portfolio by Casar is specifically designed to meet the performance and reliability demands of underground mining operations.

The Casar product range includes hoist ropes for shaft sinking and production hoisting, as well as ropes designed for friction hoists and slope or decline haulage systems. These ropes are engineered for exceptional rotation resistance, fatigue life, and operational stability in deep and demanding underground environments.

Both Union and Casar mining ropes are supported by global manufacturing, inventory, and technical service teams experienced in rope selection, installation, inspection, and retirement criteria for their respective mining applications.
