Wire Ropes & Slings

Our place is at 43 Narasimharaja Road, or NR Road as everyone calls it. This whole street is full of hardware shops and people looking for heavy machinery parts, so we fit right in. We deal with wire ropes and slings, the kind of stuff you need for lifting heavy loads or securing things on a construction site. The shop is full of grease and the smell of cold steel, which is how it should be. We have big coils of wire sitting on the floor and it takes a bit of strength to move them around. My hands are usually dirty by ten in the morning from handling the cables and crimping the ends for the custom slings people ask for. It is loud here because of the traffic and the shops next door doing their own work. We do not have a showroom with glass cases; everything is out in the open where you can see the thickness of the wire. People come in knowing exactly what they need, usually contractors or guys from the local factories. I spend most of my time measuring out lengths and making sure the fittings are tight. It is hard work on the back, especially when a big order comes in and we have to load it onto a truck. We have been at this address for a long time and the building is old, but it stays cool enough in the summer. It is just honest work with metal.
