About National Strand: A Legacy of Domestic Manufacturing

National Strand has built its reputation over decades as a dedicated domestic wire rope manufacturer. Founded with a commitment to producing high-quality wire rope on North American soil, the company has grown into a full-service manufacturer supplying industries across the continent.

In an era where supply chains are increasingly global and unpredictable, National Strand stands apart as a North American Domestic Manufacturer — meaning shorter lead times, consistent quality control, and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly where your product is made. For Canadian businesses working with Hercules Lifting, this translates to reliable availability and faster fulfillment when it matters most.

National Strand's manufacturing philosophy is rooted in precision engineering, rigorous quality standards, and a deep understanding of the industries they serve. Every product that leaves their facility is built to meet or exceed industry specifications — a standard that aligns perfectly with Hercules Lifting's own commitment to safety and performance.

Types of Wire Rope Manufactured by National Strand

National Strand produces a comprehensive range of wire rope products designed to meet the demands of diverse applications and environments. Their lineup includes:

• Bright (Uncoated) Wire Rope — Ideal for general-purpose lifting and rigging in dry, indoor environments where corrosion is not a primary concern.
• Galvanized Wire Rope — Hot-dip or electro-galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance, suited for outdoor, marine, and high-moisture applications.
• Stainless Steel Wire Rope — Premium corrosion resistance for demanding environments including marine, food processing, and chemical industries.
• Aircraft Cable — Lightweight, high-strength cable used in aerospace, architectural, and specialty rigging applications.
• Specialty and Custom Constructions — National Strand's manufacturing capabilities extend to custom strand configurations and specialty constructions for unique project requirements.

Wire rope is defined not just by its material, but by its construction — the number of strands, wires per strand, and core type all affect flexibility, strength, and fatigue resistance. National Strand offers multiple construction types including 6x19, 6x36, 7x7, 7x19, and rotation-resistant designs, ensuring the right rope for every application.
