What could be damaging your wire rope?
Wire ropes are made of multiple wires twisted into strands, wound around one another to form wire rope and are considered superior in durability.
When properly sized and lubricated, a wire rope should last for many years, even with frequent use. However, there are certain elements that can cause breakage:
- Wear in areas that have contact with hoist sheaves and drums
- Corrosion which is caused from lack of lubrication and exposure to heat or moisture
- Repeated bending, even under normal operating conditions, can cause the wire to become fatigued
- Overloading the safe working limit
- Mechanical abuse such as crushing, cutting or dragging
- Using the rope when it is frozen or too stiff
- Kinks caused by improper installation of a rope
- Crushing, which his caused by spooling onto multi-layer drums
Why your ropes need replacing
Wire rope is tough and durable, but is expendable and will eventually reach the end of its safe service life.
A breakage can pose hazards to equipment operators and any persons working nearby. If you see a damaged wire rope, play it safe and assume that it can break at any time. Rope deterioration becomes noticeable through the presence of broken wires, surface wear, corrosion, or wire or strand distortion due to mechanical abuse.
Your ropes must be inspected and tested at appropriate intervals.
