Celebrating 40 Years: R&W Rope Enhances Experience with New Services

R&W Rope: Commemorating 40 Years of Excellence

R&W Rope is excited to announce the celebration of its 40th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its journey of serving various markets including arborist, marine, industrial, utility, and recreational sectors. Established in 1985, R&W Rope has built a reputation for quality rope products along with personalized service and extensive expertise tailored to meet the needs of professionals and hobbyists alike.

To commemorate this important anniversary, the company has introduced significant enhancements to its service offerings aimed at promoting safety and education. One of the major updates is the acquisition of The Rope Guru, a well-regarded entity known for its excellence in supplying and splicing custom synthetic rope for a wide array of markets, including electrical utility and heavy lifting. This integration into R&W Rope means that clients now have access to enhanced rigging assessments and product recommendations that are founded on real-world usage and best practices. Additionally, the Rope Guru facility is equipped with a 50,000 lb capacity break test machine that certifies splices and proof load synthetic as well as chain slings. This advancement greatly expands R&W Rope’s capabilities, providing comprehensive support, training, and expert guidance.

In addition to the Rope Guru acquisition, R&W Rope is also proud to announce the addition of the SCOPE machine, an innovative rope inspection device powered by AI technology. This advanced equipment will play a critical role in ensuring the integrity of ropes, particularly within the electrical utility sector. It employs advanced camera imaging and data analysis to evaluate the condition of pulling ropes, enabling the identification of internal wear or damage that might be overlooked during traditional inspection methods. By integrating the SCOPE machine into its service offerings, R&W Rope is set to provide cutting-edge testing services that contribute to safer practices in the field. This initiative will not only minimize downtime due to equipment failure but also extend the lifespan of rope products while reducing the overall failure rates within the operational environment.

Rodney McCollester of R&W Rope reflects on this remarkable journey: "Over the last four decades, we have remained focused on delivering dependable, U.S.-made products, and assisting customers in utilizing them safely and effectively. The Rope Guru brings added depth to our team, and the SCOPE machine allows us to provide a higher level of inspection and efficiency for those who rely on rope in critical environments."

As part of the company’s anniversary celebrations, R&W Rope will host demonstrations and educational events throughout the year aimed at enlightening customers about their offerings. This commitment to customer education and safety reflects R&W Rope’s ongoing dedication to serving its partners and clients while further solidifying its stature in the industry.
