Small Diameter Utility Lanyards Since 1956
Roy I Kaufman, Inc. specializes in manufacturing custom small diameter wire rope lanyards for diverse industrial applications. Our lanyards serve as reliable tethering solutions for equipment retention, shipping fastening, theater rigging, and marine hardware applications where primary mounting failure could result in equipment damage or loss.
We manufacture lanyards using small diameter wire rope from 3/64" to 1/8", optimized for utility applications where compact size and flexibility are essential. Available materials include 304 and 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, galvanized carbon steel for standard applications, PVC-coated options for enhanced protection, and nylon-coated cable for smooth operation and reduced wear.
Our Ohio facility maintains strict quality standards with in-house pull testing capabilities, ensuring reliable performance for each application. Whether you need prototype quantities for new equipment designs or production runs for established applications, our proven manufacturing processes deliver consistent quality and competitive pricing with no minimum order requirements.
