Wire and synthetic rope specialist WireCo unveiled its latest crane hoist rope at the bauma 2025 exhibition in Munich last week: the Casar Lazerlift.
Casar Lazerlift is a specialised hoist rope engineered for large telescopic, crawler, and high-capacity tower cranes. “The Lazerlift hoist rope represents our latest breakthrough in rope design, and one that we expect will follow in the footsteps of our other well-known crane ropes,” said Johannes Weirich, WireCo’s chief engineer for crane ropes. “We have met crane operator needs with a rope that has superior spooling behaviour along with a superior minimum breaking force.”
The company said the rope extremely durable, delivering an extended service life proven in both test bench trials and real-world crane operations. It has been engineered to endure extreme radial stress while maintaining superior breaking strength.
David Rowatt, senior vice president, global steel engineering at WireCo, said that, “as wind turbines grow taller and lifting demands intensify, so do the pressures on hoist ropes. Lazerlift is designed to tackle these challenges head-on”.
