Figure 46.
When
a reel has
been
damaged
in transit, it is a safe assumption
that there
can
be irreparable damage
to
the rope.
Figure 47. Wire rope abuses dUling shipment create serious problems.
One
of
the more common causes is
improper fastening
of
rope
end
to reel. e.g., nailing through the rope end. These photos show two accept-
able methods:
a)
one end
of
a wire "noose" holds the rope, and the other end is secUl'ed to the reel: and b)
the rope end is held in place by a J -bolt
or
U -bolt that
can
be fixed to a reel.
