Main hoist, auxiliary, and boom hoist ropes for the world's largest crawler and mobile crane operations.
Crawler and mobile cranes operate at the limits of wire rope performance — high bending cycles, multi-layer spooling, and rapidly varying loads that push conventional ropes beyond their design envelope.
WireCo manufactures main hoist, auxiliary, and boom hoist ropes specifically designed for the sheave arrangements, drum geometries, and load profiles of modern lattice boom and telescopic cranes. Our ropes deliver longer service life, better spooling behavior, and predictable discard characteristics — directly reducing operating cost per lift.
With products certified to EN, ISO, and regional standards and stocking locations across major construction markets, WireCo supports crane operations from job site to job site.
The problems WireCo products are engineered to solve.
CASAR Starlift and Stratoplast ropes use compacted outer strands and rotation-resistant designs that deliver superior bending fatigue life over standard constructions. These ropes are designed specifically for the sheave-to-drum ratios and reeving configurations of modern crawler and mobile cranes.
Our ropes feature controlled torsional behavior and consistent diameter that ensures even multi-layer winding on the drum. Union Marathon and Endurance ropes maintain their round cross-section under load, preventing the crossover damage that shortens rope life.
WireCo crane ropes show clear, progressive discard indicators — visible wire breaks on the surface — that support scheduled retirement rather than unplanned replacement. With inventory across global construction markets, replacement ropes are available when the discard point is reached.
