WIRE ROPE SOLUTIONS FOR THEATRE & LIGHTING RIGGING
Supplying the best wire rope and fittings to production companies around the world
HOW WE CAN HELP
A lot of our wire rope and assemblies are ideal for use in the theatre industry. For example, galvanised black wire rope is non-reflective and a popular choice where invisible rigging is required – such as on stage.
Health and safety is paramount so wire rope and lifting products have to be strong with a long service life. Use our products to help erect stages, rigging, controlling lighting, and more. In our designated workshop, we can also provide services such as swaging, testing or even create assemblies made especially for your project.
If you’re looking for wire rope and fittings tailored to your industry then please contact us. We are committed to providing a bespoke service for every customer.

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.

SWR supplied a great product, but I’m also impressed with their commitment to providing the best possible service. From initial meeting through to final design, SWR listened closely to our requirements…I found them excellent to work with.

The product development programme with SWR will generate interest, give us something to promote and provide a better end user experience. This is beyond a supplier customer relationship and we are grateful to SWR for the support.

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.
