Small USA manufacturer competes against Giants!

September 2018

Litchfield International, the manufacturer of Hangerlok, a thermoplastic cable and infrastructure hanger system for cable systems, enjoys a history of use in the transit industry in the USA. Today’s transit industry is measured in tens of billions of dollars annually. Most major cities are expanding their transit systems to move the growing population around congested reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions.

Based in Litchfield CT, Litchfield International has been serving the engineering and construction markets since 1984.

Hangerlok was developed by Litchfield in 2007 as its core domestic product line. All its accessory parts are made by local machine shops in Litchfield county.

Hangerlok is made from a highly durable and chemically safe polymer of plastic that conforms with transit industry standards.

The transit industry demands all products to be made in America.

Design and municipal engineers demand certifications and extensive testing. Litchfield responds with UL approvals, safety standard testing, dynamic loading tests plus its proprietary internal stress testing.

Application

This specialty cable is used to collectively alert first responders to a potential or actual emergency within the facility. Aside from moving people in a system, is the concern of human health and safety.
