High-Performance steel rope for telescopic, crawler and tower cranes  

WireCo Casar, a leading brand in specialized steel ropes, has launched Boomfit, a steel rope designed specifically for use as an adjustment rope in telescopic cranes, crawler cranes, and large tower cranes.

Boomfit is designed to offer outstanding compressive strength for multi-layer spooling, excellent spooling behaviour and exceptional durability. As the crane industry continues to demand more efficient and reliable solutions for heavy-duty lifting operations, Boomfit responds by aiming to balance performance and cost-effectiveness while being engineered for the toughest working conditions.

A key feature of Boomfit is the plastic-coated steel core, using Casar’s  Plast rope technology. This feature enhances the durability of the rope and ensures long-lasting performance in demanding crane applications, reducing wear and tear while maintaining optimal functionality.

“With Boomfit, we are delivering a robust and cost-effective solution that meets the high expectations of crane operators worldwide,” says David Rowatt, PhD, PE, SVP Global Steel Engineering at WireCo. “Its advanced design and superior performance make it the perfect fit for heavy-duty lifting operations.”

At Bauma Munich, in March, alongside strong interest in Lazerlift, Boomfit also attracted attention during discussions for its relevance to mobile and tower crane applications.
