India's leading manufacturer of machined hooks, ramshorn hooks and crane blocks — and OEM supplier to every major Indian crane manufacturer. Wire-rope splicing on a 3,000-tonne press. Every rope tested before dispatch in our government-approved test house.

E. E. Karachiwala & Co. was founded in 1910, with a multifaceted activity of stocking varieties of steel wire rope, manufacturing and dealing in lifting tools and tackles — heavy hardware for Indian industry. Offering quality products to our customers has been our business and moral objective for more than a century. When buying from us, you are buying much more than a product — you are buying quality.

We give critical importance to the proper selection of raw materials and the heat treatment process for superior strength, impact and fatigue performance. We carry out high-level MIG weldingon all attachments to ensure structural integrity, and are constantly upgrading our product range through ongoing R&D.
