Wire Rope
We supply high-performance crane wire rope and stainless steel wire rope solutions engineered for durability in demanding applications. Our products include 7x7-7x19 cable configurations and Python wire rope designed to withstand dynamic loads. Available in various diameters and grades, these systems ensure reliability for industrial lifting, mooring, and cargo control operations.
Sling Inspection
Our on-site sling inspection service identifies wear, corrosion, and structural issues in lifting slings and rigging hardware. Using non-destructive testing methods, we assess Loup synthetic slings, chain products, and alloy components to ensure compliance with safety standards. Regular inspections prevent catastrophic failures in critical lifting operations.
Proof Testing
We conduct proof testing for rigging assemblies and lifting slings to validate load capacity and structural integrity. This service confirms compliance with industry specifications for grade 100 alloy chains, Kellems grips, and synthetic slings. Testing documentation provides assurance for safety-critical applications in marine and industrial settings.
