WIRE ROPE HANDLING AND INSPECTION

A new wire rope requires a break-in period. Run the wire rope through

several cycles at low speeds gradually increasing the load on the wire rope.

Make sure that the wraps of the wire rope are tight and evenly wound on the

winch drum. A loose wire rope on the winch drum will cause crushing of the

wire rope when heavy loads are applied.

All wire rope in continuous service should be observed during normal operation

and visually inspected on a weekly basis. A complete and thorough

inspection of all ropes in use must be made at least once a month and all

rope which has been idle for a period of a month or more should be given a

thorough inspection before it is put back into service. All inspections should

be the responsibility of and performed by an appointed competent person

with the training and experience to look for deterioration of the wire rope.
