CERTEX – National City, CA

Premier Supplier of Safety Products

Do you need safety products for lifting, rigging or fall protection? Certex USA is a premier provider of safety products to industries such as utilities, mining, oil, construction and aerospace. We have 36 locations across the U.S.

Rope

We carry a wide variety of lifting and rigging products including wire rope and synthetic rope.

Wire rope is made up of all independent parts – wires, strands and cores – that continuously interact with each other during service. Wire rope engineers design those parts in differing steel grades, finishes and a variety of constructions to attain the best balance of strength, abrasion resistance, crush resistance, bending fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance for each application.

You’ll find a variety of wire rope constructions and capacities at Certex. From small diameter GAC wire ropes to large high-performance ropes, you will discover that there isn’t just one type of wire rope that’s perfect for every job.

If you need something lighter than wire rope, we specialize in AmSteel®-Blue and Stable Braid. AmSteel®-Blue is a torque-free, 12-strand single braid that yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and, size-for-size, is the same strength as steel—yet it floats. AmSteel®-Blue is a proven cost-saving replacement for wire rope in key applications where strength, weight and safety are important.

Slings

Different slings have different purposes, and you can count on the Certex team to select the right product for your job. Wire rope slings are more robust and durable than nylon slings and have higher temperature limits. Wire mesh slings are used in industries where loads can be abrasive or tend to cut web slings. On the other hand, web slings will not damage or scratch the surfaces of your products being lifted.
