    The document provides instructions for inspecting wire rope for signs of excess wear. It recommends inspecting equipment used frequently every 300 uses and all equipment at least annually. Inspections should check the stress points and entire length of rope, as well as all terminations, for snags, abrasions, corrosion, discoloration, broken or flat wires, and other signs of wear or damage. Proper inspection ensures the wire rope is free of defects and not rubbing or stretched abnormally.

    Inspecting Wire Rope for Signs of Excess Wear


    How Often to Look The frequency of inspections depends on how often the equipment is used. No matter how infrequently the TorkStar is used, a thorough inspection should be carried out annually at a minimum. Equipment which is going to be used frequently should be inspected approximately every 300 uses. Where to Look The stress points most likely to suffer from excess wear are along the attachment points. However, wear and damage can occur at any point along the wire rope, so the entire length should be checked. All rope terminations (cable clamps, thimbles, loops, Nico sleeves) should also be inspected. How to Look Make sure you are wearing tough work gloves. Wrap a cotton cloth gently around the wire rope and either operate the Tork Star or manually work your way along the cables. If there are snags or other damage developing, the cotton cloth will catch on them. Meanwhile, visually inspect the wire rope for signs of abrasion, corrosion and discoloration. What to Look For Lift lines must be inspected periodically for signs of wear. Visually inspect the wire rope, looking for broken or at wires, corrosion, excessive wear or signs of chemical etching. Make sure the wire rope is not rubbing against anything at any point along the run, and that it is free of dirt and grease. Cable thimbles and loops should continue to hold their shape and not be elongated.
