WireCo to Showcase Advanced Crane Rope Technologies at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026

30-Second Takeaway


At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, WireCo will highlight new crane rope innovations aimed at supporting larger cranes, heavier loads, and higher-duty lifting cycles. Featuring rope solutions from its CASAR and OLIVEIRA brands, the company will focus on performance factors such as rotation control, abrasion resistance, spooling behavior, and long-term reliability in demanding applications like aggregates and quarry operations.



WireCo Highlights Rope Performance for Modern Lifting Demands


WireCo will present its latest crane rope technologies at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, addressing the increasing load requirements, higher duty cycles, and evolving performance expectations across today’s lifting operations.


As cranes continue to grow in size and lifting capability, rope performance has become a critical factor for operators seeking:

  • Predictable behavior under load

  • Long service life

  • Operational efficiency

  • Improved safety and reliability


Addressing Rotation Control, Spooling, and Abrasion Resistance


WireCo’s presence at the show will focus on how advances in rope design, construction, and material selection can solve key operational challenges, including:

  • Rotation control in high-capacity hoisting

  • Improved spooling behavior in multi-layer drum applications

  • Enhanced abrasion resistance

  • Long-term durability in harsh environments


These performance factors are especially relevant in quarry and aggregates applications, where cranes used for material handling, plant maintenance, and heavy lifting are routinely exposed to abrasive conditions and demanding operating cycles.


CASAR and OLIVEIRA Rope Solutions Manufactured in the U.S.


WireCo will feature a range of crane rope solutions manufactured in the United States under its CASAR and OLIVEIRA brands.

Rope samples will be displayed to demonstrate different construction methods and application-specific benefits.


Highlighted products will include:

CASAR Lazerlift

A rotation-resistant hoist rope developed for large:

  • Telescopic cranes

  • Crawler cranes

  • High-capacity tower cranes

CASAR Boomfit

Designed for boom hoist applications, particularly those requiring reliable performance under challenging multi-layer spooling conditions.

OLIVEIRA Durascend

A compacted rope solution intended for small to mid-capacity cranes, where cost efficiency and consistent performance are essential.


Rope Selection Must Match Application Requirements


WireCo emphasized that effective rope selection depends on matching rope characteristics to the specific lifting application, rather than relying on a single universal solution.

Key considerations include:

  • Crane size and configuration

  • Load profile

  • Duty cycle intensity

  • Operating environment and abrasion exposure

Optimizing these factors plays an important role in improving lifting safety, performance, and service life.
