Wire rope and reeving
MAINTENANCE
All wire ropes in active service should be inspected DAILY along with spooling, sheaves,
wedge sockets, and any other wire rope fittings for damage. Once WEEKLY a through wire
rope inspection should be made by a competent inspector. A record should be kept of the
inspections.
Refer to Wire Rope Users Manual and ANSI Standard B30.5 for guidelines covering the
inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement of wire rope. Worn, kinked, birdcaged,
fatigued or otherwise damaged wire rope must be removed immediately. Wire rope when
properly installed, lubricated and employed, will give many hours of satisfactory use.
Whereas, a new piece of wire rope can be immediately ruined if misused.
