Crane ropes are important cables in lifting operations. They are designed to handle repeated bending over sheaves and lift loads without twisting. Using the right crane rope helps improve safety, reduce equipment downtime, and keep operations running smoothly. Every crane rope from Holloway includes an Independent Wire Rope Core (I.W.R.C.) and comes from trusted suppliers to meet high safety and performance requirements. They are available in different sizes, weights, and capacities.


Designed for hoist lines, these ropes resist twisting under load. Multi-strand constructions like 35x7 help keep loads stable and precisely positioned during lifts.


Crane ropes endure constant bending cycles. These ropes resist wear and damage, extending their usable life and reducing the need for frequent replacements.


These ropes handle high pressure during spooling on multi-layer drums. Their design resists flattening and shape loss, helping maintain lifting strength across different lifting setups.
