You're In Good Company



























8mm 6x19 galvanised wire rope with a fibre core was the best product to use for the customers’ wakeboarding systems. It’s more flexible and perfect for applications where the rope needs to run over pulleys.
Industry Wake

Customer required 1000 metres of 10mm galvanised wire rope for hanging elements. They also needed 550 metres of 12mm rope for zip wires and fall protection harnesses, plus 3000 cable clamps along with other fixings.
Ape Mann

SWR’s quote turnaround was very quick and allowed for split deliveries. This meant I could send new dimensions and have the next batch of wire on site within a week…I would definitely use SWR again.
