What wire rope constructions do you manufacture?

We specialize in 7x7 and 7x19 aircraft cable construction in diameters from 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch. Available in galvanized (GAC), stainless steel 316, and PVC coated options. Assembled in Ohio, USA with domestic and imported components. View our industries page to see specific applications.

What is your typical lead time for custom cable assemblies?

Standard lead time is 1-2 weeks for most custom wire rope assemblies. Rush orders available. This is significantly faster than national competitors who typically require 3-4 weeks. Same-day quotes guaranteed.

Can you match offshore wire rope pricing?

For high-volume orders (10,000+ pieces), our in-house automation designed by a Tesla-trained engineer allows us to offer USA-competitive pricing that often matches or beats offshore alternatives while maintaining superior quality and faster delivery.

What end fittings are available for cable assemblies?

We offer ball ends, eyelets, thimbles, stop sleeves, threaded studs, forks, clevis ends, and custom terminations. All fittings are swaged in-house with pull testing to 1,000 lbs available with certification.

Do you provide pull test certification?

Yes, we provide in-house pull testing up to 1,000 lbs with certification documentation. Each assembly can be tested to verify breaking strength and safety factors meet your specifications.

What industries do you serve?

We serve automotive (drum brake cables), aerospace, construction equipment, fitness equipment, lighting (high bay suspension), appliance manufacturing, marine, and general industrial applications. 65+ years serving American industry.

Do you manufacture self-adjusting brake cables?

Yes, we offer a comprehensive 28-part catalog of self-adjusting drum brake cables for Ford, Chrysler, and Dexter trailer applications. Our dimension-first search system lets you find the exact cable by measurements rather than vehicle fitment data. Cross-references to major brands included.

How do I find the right brake cable by dimensions?

Use our brake cable finder tool that searches by cable length, assembly length, and terminal types. This dimension-first approach avoids fitment guesswork and ensures accurate results for both automotive and trailer applications.

How do I design a custom wire rope assembly?

Use our free 3D Wire Rope Configurator to design your assembly online with real-time pricing, or submit specifications through our quote form. Our engineers can also work from your drawings or samples.

Are you a Lexco Cables or Tyler Madison alternative?

Yes, we are a direct alternative to Lexco Cables, Tyler Madison, and Carl Stahl. Key advantages: no minimum orders (vs $180 minimums), 1-2 week delivery (vs 3-4 weeks), local Ohio service, and in-house automation for competitive pricing on volume orders.
