Wire Rope (Cable)
A detailed inspection of all wire rope (cable) should be made weekly or every 40 hours of use - which
includes checking the wire rope for damage, deterioration and secure end connections. Damage or
deterioration requiring replacement of wire rope is indicated by broken wires, excessive wear, heat
damage, corrosion, stretching or distortion as shown in the wire rope illustration below.
NOTE: A lay of rope is that length of rope in which one strand of wire makes a complete revolution
about the core.
