Wire Ropes and Crane Safety | With Manoj Chaudhary
The entire load that is lifted by the crane is first borne by the wire rope that lifts the hook block. The wire ropes in any crane are always working in severe working conditions of tension, abrasion, friction and bending. There are different types of wire ropes that are used in cranes and they differ in the material, construction, diameters and lays. Almost invariably these wire ropes are exposed to severe atmospheric conditions.
Hence due care must be taken while using these wire ropes. Traditionally the wire rope is visually inspected visually that makes such inspection very tedious and difficult. But now there are special devices that enable us to check the wire ropes that also detect the internal cuts of the strands thus helping us to decide whether or not to replace the wire rope.
