Description
This document establishes general principles for the care and maintenance, and inspection and discard of steel wire ropes used on cranes and hoists. Retrieving data. Wait a few seconds and try to cut or copy again. In addition to guidance on storage, handling, installation and maintenance, this document provides discard criteria for those running ropes which are subjected to multi-layer spooling, where both field experience and testing demonstrate that deterioration is significantly greater at the crossover zones on the drum than at any other section of rope in the system.
