Mr. Gaylord Whipple is the C.E.a. of U.S. Rigging Supply. U.S. Rigging Supply has
been manufacturing wire rope assemblies, accessories and Tree-Guy staking systems for
over 28 years. The company's testing and quality control has been surveyed and
approved by the U.S. Department of Defense, aerospace contractors and commercial
OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). Its sister company, Pelican Rope Works,
has been manufacturing superior quality braided synthetic ropes for over 22 years.
Together, both companies provide the Arborist and landscaping trades with an unbeatable
combination of service, safety lanyards, flip lines, carabiners, fittings and attachments.
Mr. Whipple has been in business since 1974. He started initially with U.S. Rigging
Supply, but decided to expand when one of his suppliers went out of business, and he
opted to purchase the company. This marked the beginning of Pelican Rope Works.
Both companies have approximately 30 employees, most of whom live in Santa Ana, and
take advantage of the Enterprise Zone tax credits.
Mr. Whipple a current member of the Tustin Rotary Club where he participates in
community service projects. He lives in the North Tustin area, but has been in business
in Santa Ana for about 16 years. He is very interested in joining the Santa Ana
Workforce Investment Board because he wants to become involved in the building of the
current and future workforce of the City of Santa Ana.
