When it comes to lifting, hoisting, and moving the world’s heaviest loads, performance matters. And so does partnership.

That’s why CERTEX is proud to spotlight WireCo—a global leader in manufacturing and distributing wire rope, synthetic rope, and electromechanical cable. Found on job sites in more than 130 countries, WireCo’s products support the infrastructure that moves economies, industries, and people.

But it’s not just about the products—it’s about the people and values behind them.

Their mission aligns seamlessly with our own at CERTEX: delivering solutions that perform under pressure, meet the highest safety standards, and help our customers keep moving forward.

Innovation in Action: Crane Rope Solutions

 

WireCo’s track record of innovation is more than just talk—it shows up on real job sites in big ways.

In one recent collaboration, CERTEX and WireCo worked together to equip one of the largest crawler cranes on the planet—a Manitowoc 31000—with Casar Parafit crane ropes. Located in Phoenix, this massive machine is one of only two of its kind in the world, making rope performance critical.

WireCo also recently introduced Casar Ladleplast, designed specifically for demanding steel mill crane operations. With its high breaking load and superior resistance to crushing, Ladleplast is ideal for twin hoist systems handling molten materials. CERTEX and WireCo teamed up to supply this rope to Nucor Steel, upgrading hot ladle crane systems for improved performance and safety.

 

Built for Demanding Jobs

 

At CERTEX, we proudly offer WireCo’s trusted brands—Casar, Oliveira, and Union—each known for exceptional quality and field-proven reliability. From high-density construction that resists abrasion and crushing to engineered ropes tailored to specific applications, WireCo products stand apart.

Their newest release, Casar Lazerlift, features triple-core construction and a high wire count—delivering impressive strength and durability under extreme stress. It’s already earning praise across critical lifting applications.

 

Trusted by Standards, Backed by Certification

 

WireCo upholds key certifications, including ISO, ASME, and OSHA compliance—ensuring that every product meets rigorous industry standards. That means peace of mind for every CERTEX customer relying on their ropes in the field.
