Services for hoisting and lifting technology

For more than hundred years, we produce fiber ropes of natural and synthetic fibers and for more than fifty years wire ropes in our own production facilities in Switzerland. We offer comprehensive advice which rope and which construction fits your purpose and produce special constructions according to your demands.

The old rope craft has today become a sustainable technology. Ropes convince through their economy and efficiency in a multitude of applications, whether in architecture, construction, industry or forestry. But not all ropes are the same: thanks to a variety of construction methods as well as modern and traditional materials, ropes can be adapted to their respective purpose. We will advise you which rope is perfectly suited to your needs.

We conduct regular training courses on the use of our products. We inform users about the proper use of our products and pass on our experience.

We stand up for the future of the traditional rope trade. Our specially trained installation personnel carry out all necessary installation and splicing work on mountain railways.

Even the best ropes must be checked regularly. This helps to detect faults early on and to extend the service life of your ropes, chains and belts, and makes your business more economical. We offer you advice and testing of your ropes and cables.

Where occupational safety is concerned, there can be no compromises. Our lifting gear inspection makes your work easier. We check your slings, arrange for necessary repairs and replace parts that are ready for retirement, either at your site or in our production facilities, as required.

With the Jakob Safety System you always have an overview of the testing and documentation of your wire ropes, belts, chain slings etc. - conveniently via smartphone.

We know the relevant standards and regulations in the field of safety nets and offer you a wide range of suitable nets. We check and repair damaged fibre rope nets in our own production facilities.
