Horizon Cable Service, Inc. is a privately held industrial rigging equipment distributor and service provider founded in 1980 in Casper, Wyoming, and headquartered at 45 North Cooley Drive in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The company distributes wire ropes, chain and synthetic web slings, rigging hardware, fall protection equipment, cargo control products, lifting clamps, outrigger pads, custom lifting devices, and cordage from 10 physical locations across Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Kansas, North Dakota, and New Mexico.

The service layer complements product distribution and includes a fleet of 20 custom-built mobile spooling units with hydraulically operated arms, 7 computerized test beds calibrated to ASTM E4 Standards with +/- 1% accuracy for mobile proof testing, break testing, and load testing, and an online certification portal providing 24/7 access to test certificates.

Horizon Cable generates revenue through one-time product sales distributed via direct field sales, regional phone hotlines, its nopCommerce website, and a downloadable 255-page catalog, alongside professional service revenue from mobile spooling, EM cable servicing, inspection, and compliance testing. Pricing is quote-based rather than list-based, and customers span oil and gas (the primary segment), crane rental and construction, industrial manufacturing and heavy lifting, and transportation and logistics, with sales coverage extending across 12 US states.
