Below is a list of Wire Rope Hoist manufacturers from Terrell, Texas. Wire rope hoists are alternatives to chain hoists that employ multiple strands of metal wire wound helically around a core, which is sometimes made of rubber or plastic. It has high load capacity and provides a durable, reliable method of lifting and moving heavy objects. The rope itself is made from cold drawn carbon steel or stainless steel wires and is considered a simple machine because the multiple strands act as several moving parts that work together.
