With over 40 years of experience serving Atlantic Canada’s toughest industries—construction, marine, forestry, mining, and more—our team brings unparalleled expertise to every project.

Why Wire Rope Support Matters
1. Optimized Rigging Design
The right wire rope support starts with optimized rigging design. Choosing the appropriate rope construction, diameter, and termination can significantly impact the safety and efficiency of your lifting operations. At Wire Rope Industries Atlantic, our wire rope consulting team analyzes your specific application to recommend the ideal configuration for strength, load-bearing capacity, and durability.
We help you determine:
- Appropriate rope types (compacted, swaged, galvanized)
- Load calculations for multi-leg slings
- End fittings like thimbles, hooks, and shackles
- Safe working load limits (WLL) and breaking strength requirements
Our consultants ensure that every component of your rigging system is matched and optimized for performance, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of your equipment.
2. Safety & Compliance Assurance
When heavy loads are suspended, safety is non-negotiable. Wire rope consulting from our experts helps you meet safety regulations and maintain compliance with CSA, OSHA, and ISO 9001 standards. We perform detailed assessments of your rigging setups, identify potential hazards, and recommend best practices to eliminate risks.
Our wire rope support services include:
- On-site inspections and load testing
- Compliance documentation and certification
- Installation checks and tension adjustments
- Inspection tagging for traceability
Staying compliant not only prevents costly fines and project delays but also ensures that your team works safely and confidently.
3. Extending the Life of Your Equipment
Heavy-duty wire rope and rigging equipment represent a significant investment. Regular maintenance and proper configuration help maximize your return on that investment. Our wire rope consulting services include maintenance schedules, lubrication strategies, and proper storage recommendations to extend the life of your wire rope and lifting gear.
We can help you implement:
- Preventative maintenance schedules
- Best practices for handling and storage
- Corrosion prevention techniques for marine and outdoor applications
- Routine lubrication to reduce friction and wear
Our proactive approach to wire rope support ensures that your equipment is ready when you need it and performs reliably over time.
