Wire rope subject to reverse bends
Wire rope passing over sheaves

Wire rope being used for boom hoists and lufng
hoists, particularly at reverse bends
Wire rope at ange points, crossover points, and
repetitive pickup points on drums
Wire rope at or near terminal ends
Wire rope in contact with saddles, equalizer sheaves
or other sheaves where rope travel is limited
Category 1
Signicant distortion of the wire rope structure such as
kinking, crushing, unstranding, birdcaging, signs of
core failure, or steel core protrusion between the
outer strands
Signicant corrosion
