Casar and Oliveira ropes made in North America
The Most Rigorous Testing for the Most Demanding Applications
Strictest validation requirements for unsurpassed global quality.
Casar and Oliveira Made in the USA crane rope product lines go through a battery of production acceptance tests that confirm product conformance to WireCo’s stringent internal requirements, which far exceed the industry specification requirements. The ropes produced at our Sedalia manufacturing facility exceed the specification standards in EN 12385-4 for steel rope products by tightening diameter tolerances, increasing minimum breaking forces, and ensuring that diameter reduction under load and angular rotation under load are controlled at much tighter tolerances than the rest of the industry.
In addition to product acceptance testing, WireCo conducts performance validation tests to confirm that Made in the USA crane ropes perform to the same expected performance levels as products from our manufacturing facilities in Portugal and Germany. WireCo uses cyclic bending over sheave and crossover fatigue testing to simulate failure modes in the field, in addition to real-life load cycling of our most critical crane products on actual cranes.
Each diameter and each product line must successfully go through the required production acceptance and performance validation tests, and be approved by the Global Crane Team, prior to being released for production and sale to our customers. When purchasing a Made in the USA Oliveira or Casar crane rope, you can be assured that WireCo has thoroughly vetted the physical properties and performance behaviors of our mission-critical crane ropes.
