Lake Jackson, Texas — Delta Rigging & Tools, the nation's leading provider of wire rope, rigging and lifting equipment, last month acquired D&M Wire Rope, establishing Delta Rigging as a leading provider of wire rope and rigging throughout Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, the seventh acquisition by Delta Rigging in the past three years.

D&M is based in Grand Junction, Colo., and specializes in the fabrication and distribution of chain, wire rope, wire rope slings, synthetic slings, and rigging hardware. D&M is also one of the largest tire chain distributors in the Rocky Mountain area, and has testing and certification capabilities for various types of rigging and lifting products. D&M is the leading rigging operation in the Rocky Mountain region focused primarily on the mining and land-based oil and gas drilling industries. D&M also has a branch in Lander, Wyo.

“D&M will allow Delta Rigging to expand its footprint from the Gulf Coast region into the Rocky Mountains and more efficiently serve the mining and land-based oil and gas markets,” said Delta Rigging CEO Kevin Rodgers. “We are very confident that Jim Davis, the founder of D&M Wire Rope, and his highly trained group of employees will make a significant contribution to our growth plans.”

Delta Rigging & Tools, based in Lake Jackson, Texas, is the largest one-stop provider for the sale and rental of lifting products and services within the large and fragmented domestic lifting equipment and rigging industry, offering a complete portfolio of lifting solutions, including hoists, winches, wire rope, synthetic slings, accessory parts and hardware as well as testing, inspection and field services.
