Inspection
NOTE: The pictures in this section are just samples to show
the replacement criteria of the rope.
1. Inspect ropes for broken wires, particularly valley wire
breaks and breaks at end terminations.
NOTE: Flexing a wire rope can often expose broken wires
hidden in valleys between strands.
2. Inspect ropes for corrosion.
3. Inspect ropes for kinks or abuse.
NOTE: A kink is caused by pulling down a loop in a slack line
during improper handling, installation, or operation.
4. Inspect sheaves for condition of bearings/pins.
5. Inspect sheaves for condition of flanges.
6. Inspect sheaves with a groove wearout gauge for exces-
sive wear.
NOTE: Observe the groove so that it may be clearly seen
whether the contour of the gauge matches the con-
tour of the bottom of the groove.
7. Ropes passing inspection should be lubricated with wire
rope lubricant before reassembly.
