Nearly 150 years of expertise in wire rope technology
Carl Stahl sets standards in rope technology and is known for outstanding quality and customer focus with its numerous locations. Our steel ropes, wire ropes and specialty ropes offer solutions and process optimizations for industry, construction, mining, logistics and forestry, among others.
Top quality and efficiency
We supply steel wire ropes made in Europe that meet the EN 12385-4 standard or offer additional high-quality features that make them ideal for use as specialised ropes in industrial, rope-driven machines.
The wire ropes we use are characterized by high, consistent quality. This is a great advantage in practical application, as this continuity considerably facilitates handling, maintenance, and testing, thus saving costs.
If you want to achieve a significant increase in operating times and service life of ropes in comparison to normal steel ropes, there is no getting around special ropes. When wire ropes are used – whether as stationary or moving ropes in machines – the rope, especially as a moving element, becomes a “living” machine element. The forces that occur and the constructive deflections usually require a high stability of the rope structure and a high breaking force. Specialised ropes are particularly suitable for this purpose because they usually have a special rope structure.
Advantages of ropes from Carl Stahl:
- High tensile strength and stability
- Optimized service life and lower maintenance costs
- Reliability in use, even in demanding applications
Areas of application for ropes from Carl Stahl
Cutting-edge computer-aided calculations and decades of experience, combined with high-quality wire material and lubricants, enable facility operators to significantly increase the rope's service life and reduce the time to replacement. This helps to minimize downtime for machines and facilities and save costs.
Our ropes, which we offer as customized machine elements, are used in the following areas, either in a rotation-resistant or non-rotation-resistant design, as hoist ropes, trolley ropes, jib hoist ropes, assembly ropes, stay ropes, guy ropes, pull-off ropes, closing ropes:
- Crane systems: bridge cranes, tower cranes, mobile cranes and electric wire rope hoists
- Industry and mining: pouring cranes, bulk material cranes, deep mining equipment and specialized civil engineering equipment
- Forestry: forestry winches, winch ropes
- Transportation and logistics: harbor cranes, container gantry cranes, unloading cranes and ski lifts
- Offshore: ship-to-shore cranes, offshore cranes, floating grippers
Of course, we will support you in implementing and documenting DIN ISO 4309 and in selecting the right rope for your specific application.
Efficient logistics and comprehensive service
With our defined machine elements, you save time and effort when ordering ropes. We will create complete replacement rope documentation for you that enables you to quickly, easily and cost-effectively procure the right ropes for your applications. And if you are short on time, we will do everything we can to ensure that the goods leave our factory the same day and arrive at your premises by express delivery the very next day.
This service requires us to have a high delivery capacity and extensive stocks. That is why we place great value on the ready availability of the highest quality steel ropes, so that we can guarantee you the fastest delivery times at all times.
We provide:
- Fast delivery times thanks to high stock availability
- Express delivery, often within one day
- Individual advice and service including replacement rope documentation
Partnership with leading manufacturers
We offer you a wide range of products from leading manufacturers such as WireCo with the brands CASAR, Oliveira and Drumet, as well as from Bridon-Bekaert, Diepa, WDI, Vornbäumen and Arcelor-Mittal. We rely exclusively on top quality European production.
Training for qualified rope specialists
Well-known companies rely on our expertise when it comes to training qualified personnel to maintain, service and install ropes. We offer training in rope technology either directly on site at your company.
Regardless of the option you choose, you will receive comprehensive instruction in DIN ISO 4309 (Cranes – Wire ropes – Maintenance and repair, inspection and storage). In addition, we provide in-depth knowledge of the basics, technical terms, standards, rope characteristics, lay directions, types and the use of regular lay or lang lay ropes. Special topics such as compacted ropes or ropes with a synthetic core are also clearly explained. In short, we cover all the important aspects of rope technology.
Put your trust in our expertise – for maximum safety and performance.
