Daily Inspection
Wire rope should be inspected in accordance with ANSI/
ASME B30.5 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1413. A running
record of the condition of each wire rope should be noted in
the equipment inspection log (see Maintain a Wire Rope
Condition Report Topic).
See Figure 5-9
for the following procedure:
1. Each work day, prior to crane work, visually inspect all
rope that can reasonably be expected to be used that
day. Check for obvious damage, including the following:
- Rope defects such as shown in Figure 5-9
- Loss of rope diameter (see the Reduction in Rope
Diameter topic)
- Broken wires—Record the number, distribution and
type of broken wires (see the Broken Rope Wires
Topic)
- Internal wear or broken wires for ropes operating on
synthetic sheaves. Common indicators of internal
deterioration include localized reduction in rope
diameter, corrosion between the strands, localized
lengthening of lay, wire displacement, or wire
distortion.
- End fitting wear/abrasion
- Minor or general corrosion
- Areas that deteriorate more rapidly, such as flange
points, crossover points, and repetitive pickup
points on drums
- Take special care to observe boom hoist ropes and
rotation-resistant ropes for evidence of core failure
or other deterioration (remove ropes showing signs
of core failure or deterioration from service). Internal
deterioration of rotation-resistant ropes may not be
readily observable.
2. Throughout the day, observe the wire rope during
operation, including the following points:
- Pick-up Points—Sections of wire rope that are
repeatedly stressed during each lift, such as those
sections in contact with sheaves.
- End Attachments—The point where a fitting is
attached to the wire rope or the point where the wire
rope is attached to the drum.
- Abuse Points—The point where the wire rope is
subjected to abnormal scuffing and scraping.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Prior to conducting an inspection of wire rope use the
following precautions:
• Always lock out equipment power when removing or
installing wire rope assemblies.
• Always use safety glasses for eye protection.
• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and safety shoes as
appropriate.
• Use supports and clamps to prevent uncontrolled
movement of wire rope, parts, and equipment.
