Wire
Rope... the nation builder
Wire rope or cable has been our basic
tool as far back to about 700 B.C. Probably one of the oldest
of the tools we used for nation building. Lifting, pulling
or reinforcement, wire rope is flexible, bendable and comes
in many sizes, strengths and forms.
The first appearance of cable as we know it today was probably
introduced between 1816 and 1840. Wire rope was
rapidly placed in service during our nations industrial expansion
following the Civil War.
Today cable, along with chain and nylon slings, has become
an essential tool to our growth as a nation.
Our founder - Allen Olson - has life experience in the cable
and wire rope industry dating back to the post WWII years. Then,
cables were the primary means of motion control. Cables
operated loaders to cranes, mining jigs to forest gantry systems. In
many applications - cable is still the preferred method for
hoisting, lifting, pulling and dragging.
We are stocking distributors of both domestic and non-domestic
cable and wire rope - galvanized, stainless steel and bright
steel. Both domestic and non-domestic cable hardware
from our nations best known material handling corporations,
like Columbus
McKinnon and Gunnebo
Johnson, continue to meet the world's demand for quality
manufacturing. Our in house swaging on demand of
cable assemblies or tested and certified cables from Wireco can
offer you a variety of slings and bridles.
