Wire Rope Services

Certex UK offers specialist steel wire rope services to support safe, reliable lifting operations across construction, manufacturing, ports, marine and offshore industries. As a leading lifting equipment provider, we don’t just supply steel wire rope – we also inspect, install, maintain and certify it to keep your lifting gear compliant and performing at its best.

Our capabilities cover the full lifecycle of your steel wire rope. We provide wire rope inspection, examination and reporting in line with LOLER and relevant standards, helping you identify wear, corrosion, broken wires and other defects before they become safety issues. Our technicians can carry out on‑site inspections on cranes, hoists, winches, davits and other lifting equipment, as well as in our own workshops.
All work is carried out by trained, competent personnel using calibrated equipment, and supported by the necessary certification and documentation. Whether you operate mobile cranes, tower cranes, offshore cranes, winches or fixed lifting systems, our steel wire rope service experts can help you maximise rope life, reduce downtime and maintain compliance.
From routine steel wire rope inspection and testing to complete rope change‑outs and custom assemblies, we provide a comprehensive service package for all your steel wire rope and lifting equipment needs. Contact us to discuss planned maintenance, emergency support or project‑specific wire rope solutions.
