Northern Strands is proud to announce that our Bin Safe System won 1st Place in the Agricultural Equipment category at Ag in Motion this year!
Ag in Motion celebrated their 5th Anniversary with over 30,000 people attending the 2019 show. At the show, Northern Strands featured a variety of rigging products and the Grain Bin Fall Protection System.
The Bin Safe System is inexpensive and is designed for ease of use. Users simply wear the fall protection harness, attach the lanyard to the rope grab, and climb the bin. The system is designed to mitigate the potential risks of climbing very tall grain bins.
Northern Strands' innovation was also featured on a number of podcasts. To listen to these podcasts to learn more about Bin Safe and Ag in Motion, click the following links:

These die drawn 6 x 26 Warrington Seale Compacted Strand IWRC cables have a smooth bearing surface at the strand crown and an increase in minimum breaking strength when compared to round strand rope of the same diameter and class. Recently Northern Strands has installed a number of railcar progressioner cables and full railcar progressioner systems for grain terminals in Saskatchewan. We are capable of completing repairs on existing progressioner systems or installing a new system if needed.
Progressioner Cables can be used in a variety of applications including the following:

- Oil Fields
- Winch Lines
- Car Pullers/Progressioner
These compact cables have more load bearing capacities than the standard cables with same diameters. Abrasion is less and usage lives are longer because they contact the reel surfaces in a larger area.
The General Characteristics of Progressioner Cables includes:
- High Strength to Diameter Ratio
- High Resistance to Abrasion
- High Resistance to Crushing
- Better Fatigue Resistance
- Equals Better Service Life
