Custom assemblies can also be created, which makes the choices almost endless. Before ordering, ask yourself the below questions:
Where are you making your measurement? When you determine the length or wire assembly, what are the points you measure from? We recommend that you measure from bearing point to bearing point. By making measurements from this point, we can begin to standardize lengths. If you cannot determine your measuring points, our talents team can help.
What identifications do you need? Depending on your industry (aerospace or military), different identifiers are required. We can fulfill any needs or requests.
Most importantly is what is the weight being lifted and where is the center of gravity?
For more help determining your wire and cable needs, please give us a call. We should be your first call for crane wire rope and other rigging supplies.
