WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION
NOTE: The wire rope manufacturer’s recommendations
take precedence over the following information.
Wire Rope Storage
Store the wire rope in coils or on reels off the ground in a
clean and dry indoor location. If outdoor storage is
necessary, the wire rope must be covered with a protective
wrapper. Keep the wire rope away from acids, fumes, and
other corrosives. Keep the wire rope away from heat that can
dry out the lubricant. If the storage period will be long,
lubricate the wire rope and perform periodic inspection
monthly.
Removing Wire Rope from Shipping Reel
1. Mount the wire rope shipping reel on a shaft supported
at both ends by jacks or blocks (Figure 4-60
).
2. Provide a brake at the shipping reel so the wire rope can
be wound tightly onto the drum (Figure 4-61
).
3. Wind from the top of the reel to the top of the drum or
from the bottom of the reel to the bottom of the drum
(Figure 4-61
).
NOTE: Avoid a reverse bend when winding the wire rope
onto the drum.
4. Avoid dragging the wire rope in the dirt or around objects
that can scrape, nick, cut, or crush the wire rope.
Seizing and Cutting Wire Rope
See Figure 4-62 for the following information.
Apply tight seizings of annealed wire to the ends of all wire
rope, otherwise the rope wires and strands may slacken.
This action will result in overloading of some strands and
underloading of others. Bird-caging and breakage of the wire
rope can occur.
Before cutting the wire rope, apply seizings on both sides of
the point where the cut will be made. Then cut the wire rope
with a torch, rope cutter, or abrasive cut-off wheel.
See Figure 4-62
for the following information.
• Number of seizings to be applied to the ends of wire
rope and to both sides of the point where a cut will be
made
• Proper application method. Each seizing should be one
rope diameter long.
CAUTION
Wire Rope Damage!
The shipping reel must rotate when the wire rope is
unwound. Attempting to remove the wire rope from a
stationary reel can result in a “kinked” wire rope, and the
wire rope will be ruined.
