APPLICATIONS

Mines are one of the most punishing environments on ropes and pendants. To transmit raw power into cubic yards moved, the entire rope system must be rugged and reliable. WireCo ropes have consistently delivered outstanding performance for mid-boom pendants, towing lines, and haul truck safety tiebacks. 

Utilizing the experience in this space and building on the decades of experience of these products WireCo is introducing the GLADIATOR CABLEline for all your mission critical structural needs, especially for main boom systems on shovel and dragline machines.

APPLICATIONS

Mining is one of the most grueling environments on ropes and pendants. In order to transmit raw power into cubic yards moved, your entire rope system must be rugged, reliable and designed to fit your job. Union ARA-BOOM aramid fiber mid-boom pendants have demonstrated 10 to 15 times the life expectancy of wire rope or strand used as mid-boom pendants on Bucyrus/Marion style draglines due to their improved resistance to tension-tension fatigue. 

When shipped, Union mid-boom assemblies include bend restrictors to protect the assemblies during installation.
