At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, WireCo will highlight its latest crane rope technologies designed to support the increasing load demands, higher duty cycles and evolving performance expectations seen across today’s lifting operations.
As cranes continue to grow in size and capability, operators are placing greater emphasis on rope performance, predictability and lifecycle efficiency. WireCo’s focus at the show will be on how rope design, construction and material selection can help address challenges such as rotation control, spooling behavior, wear resistance and long-term reliability across a wide range of crane applications. In quarry and aggregates operations, these considerations are particularly important for cranes used in material handling, plant maintenance and heavy lifting, where ropes are exposed to abrasive environments and demanding duty cycles.
The company will present a selection of crane rope solutions manufactured in the USA under its CASAR and OLIVEIRA brands, with rope samples available to illustrate different construction approaches and use cases. Featured solutions will include CASAR Lazerlift, a rotation-resistant hoist rope developed for large telescopic, crawler and high-capacity tower cranes; CASAR Boomfit, designed as adjustment rope in boom hoist applications with demanding multi-layer spooling conditions, and OLIVEIRA Durascend, a compacted rope solution intended for small to mid-capacity cranes where cost efficiency and dependable performance are key considerations.
Rather than promoting a “one-size-fits-all” approach, WireCo’s portfolio reflects a focus on aligning rope design with specific lifting requirements. This includes balancing strength, spooling stability and service life against operating conditions such as crane size, load profile and duty cycle.
At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, WireCo will be exhibiting at booth N10519 in the North Hall, where it will engage with crane owners, operators and engineers to discuss rope selection strategies, application-specific performance considerations, and how modern crane rope technologies can support safer and more efficient lifting operations.
