Posted on May 1, 2012 by nicolet

Wire rope assemblies can be found in countless complex industries these days. The main reason for this is because can be incredibly useful for such a wide variety of applications. These products are strong, durable and very reliable in intense work environments. Not just your basic construction, manufacturing, marine and other industries, but, as is becoming increasingly popular, those daredevil industries too. For instance some risk takers are finding new applications for these tools including zip-lining over the Amazon, tight-rope walking through falls or cage swimming with sharks… In these situations you will definitely want only the best possible equipment, and for those that choose wire rope assemblies for their equipment needs, this means the rope itself and the fittings that go along with them.

Wire Rope: A Rock Climber’s Best Friend

Posted on April 2, 2010 by Todd Halt

For the past year, my younger brother has been backpacking around New Zealand, sleeping in a tent, working on farms and climbing mountains. From the pictures I’ve seen, it’s been an amazing adventure in one of the most naturally beautiful places on Earth. The older sister in me, though, is always a little bit worried. I imagine him scaling the sides of steep rock formations or climbing his way to the top of Mount Cook, and I realize how much more of a thrill seeker he is than me. While I would prefer he take up a more relaxing outdoor sport like fishing, the fact that he’s well equipped for belaying allows my mind to rest easy. Instead of relying on a good grip and foot holding, most rock climbers these days use an effective system consisting of a harness, pulley and belay loop, which are all attached to a sturdy climbing rope. Belaying ensures the climbers won’t fall very far in case they slip off a rock. Continue reading →

Wire Rope May not be Pretty, but It Was Beautiful at the Oscars

Posted on April 17, 2009 by Rebekah Fuller

With all the 2009 Academy Awards’ glitz, glamour and questionable Hugh Jackman musical medley numbers (forget Beyonce; I thought Anne Hathaway stole the show – and being remembered from the opening of the Oscars is no small feat), who would have thought to notice the stainless steel cable holding up the shimmering backdrop of the stage that night? But what else could have supported the 92,000 Swarovski crystals configured in a 100-foot wide by 60-foot tall display weighing three tons? Continue reading →
