WiscoLift’s division, Cable Industries, frequently receives
requests to fabricate special cable assemblies, many times in “emergency”
situations. Here is a recent example:
The owner of an automotive company in Waupaca, WI, had a car
lift with one broken cable. This did not
result in a complete failure, but the lift was not usable until the cable got
replaced. The car lift manufacturer
quoted a 4 week lead time – anybody in this situation would find that
unacceptable.
He contacted us on a Thursday afternoon with all the
necessary information – wire rope diameter and length, end stop information,
and dimensions of the threaded stud.
Although we had never fabricated an assembly specifically for a car
lift, we were able to fabricate and load test (on our 100 ton horizontal test
bed) the replacement assembly in just 2 business days. To top it off, our price was less than half
of the manufacturer’s price!
The customer was so pleased with the price and fast service
that he bought us lunch!
Providing our customers with quality pricing and service is
what we strive for. If you need a new cable assembly, contact our Cable
Industries Sales Rep at 844-947-3767 or fill out our Quote
Form and we will respond to your request immediately.
