Gleistein is your partner!
Fibre ropes are up to 90% lighter than wire ropes, resistant to corrosion, and highly durable. With our textile cable-pulling ropes, even the heaviest cables can be installed in a single step. In modern methods such as pilot-line installation by drone or compressed air, fibre ropes are the indispensable option.. Their clear health and safety benefits minimise downtime and help prevent long-term damage.
With Gleistein by your side, you’ll always find the perfect solution – no matter how unusual or challenging your requirements may be. We listen carefully, immerse ourselves in your project, and develop bespoke connection solutions. Our extensive range includes ropes fully fitted with end connections – if desired, delivered on precisely the right machine spool. For desert environments, we supply cable-pulling ropes with built-in sand filters to reliably protect the core.
And the perfect rope is only the beginning: Our inspection and repair service ensures safe, long-term use right up to the end of your rope’s service life.
Drum
Simple technology, complex demands on the rope…
The simplest way to tension a rope is via a drum winch: all the force is applied by the powered drum. Large lengths of rope are wound layer upon layer under full load – immense forces that only an exceptionally robust rope can withstand in the long run.
Capstan
The longer, the better…
Under the double-capstan principle, performance and durability take centre stage. Gleistein’s high-end ropes excel with strength-optimised cores that enable top performance at minimal diameter, leaving space for a tough protective cover that ensures secure grip and highest service life.
The perfect rope is just the beginning…
At Gleistein, we don’t just deliver premium ropes – we provide complete system solutions. From the initial consultation to the final application, our team is at your side with expert advice, installation service, and ongoing support. This comprehensive approach ensures you get the most from your ropes, no matter where you operate.
Inspection and maintenance
Regular inspections extend your rope’s service life and ensure safety. Our specialists can examine and repair ropes on-site or at our facilities, where we also perform break load tests. You can send ropes in for splicing, cover replacements, and repairs. Alternatively, we’ll train your team to conduct inspections internally.
Tailored end connections
The right rope is only half the story – the perfect termination is crucial. In our Rope Service Centre, every connection is hand-crafted by our experts, ensuring every splice and protective sleeve is precisely tuned to your requirements. This combination of industrial production and skilled craftsmanship unleashes the full potential of each rope.
Test laboratories
With test benches ranging from 20 kN to 3,000 kN, in our state-of-the-art laboratories we perform standard break load assessments and custom simulations of cyclical loads and environmental conditions. We provide reliable data for maximum operational reliability. Our services are also open to external clients who need to verify rope performance.
On-Site Training
A rope is only as reliable as the people using it. We offer tailored training worldwide, ensuring teams can install, splice, inspect, and repair ropes with confidence. Our experts adapt to your location and your team’s specific needs.
In-House Training
Discover the art of rope technology at our headquarters in Bremen. Under master ropemakers’ guidance, you’ll gain advanced splicing skills, observe lab-based break tests, and earn a certificate confirming your qualification to deliver Gleistein-quality end connections.
Lifecycle Management
We take responsibility for our ropes throughout their entire service life – from the initial design and product selection to the operational phase and eventual renewal. Digital rope tracking systems, routine checks, and data-driven improvements guarantee ongoing reliability. When a rope retires, we analyse its service record together, feeding what we learn back into product development for continual enhancement.
