Inspection of Wire Ropes
  • Why Inspect: Regular inspection is crucial to ensure safety and functionality.
  • When to Inspect: Inspections should be scheduled based on usage and environmental conditions.
  • Discard Criteria: Specific criteria determine when a wire rope should be discarded, including the number of wire breaks.
  • Inspection Locations: Inspections should be conducted at critical points where wear and damage are likely.
  • Inspection Methods: Utilize aids and techniques to assess wire breaks, rope diameter, lay length, structural integrity, and check associated equipment like pulleys and drums.
Handling, Assembly, and Maintenance of Wire Ropes
  • Rope Selection: Replacement ropes should match the original specifications as detailed in the crane manual.
  • Unloading: Avoid direct contact with forklift forks; use textile slings for lifting.
  • Storage: Store ropes in clean, dry conditions, avoiding ground contact. Use a first-in, first-out system and maintain clear documentation.
  • Assembly: Ensure ropes are unwound without twisting or damage. Use appropriate methods for different equipment sizes.
  • Rewinding: Maintain the rope's preferred bending direction to prevent structural changes.
Lubricant Selection and Application
When selecting a lubricant for wire ropes, compatibility with the wire rope manufacturer's product is crucial. Drahtseilwerk Saar can provide guidance on this. Recommended lubricants include Aral Aralub LFZ 1 grease and Seilfett F 315 L adhesive lubricant. Application methods vary, with common techniques being the use of a brush or glove, and sometimes continuous drip-feed lubrication at a cable pulley. High-pressure lubrication using a pressure sleeve ensures complete penetration of the lubricant into all cavities of the wire rope, which is essential for regular maintenance.
Cleaning of Wire Ropes
According to DIN 15020, extremely dirty wire ropes should be cleaned periodically, especially in abrasive environments or where chemical substances are present. Effective cleaning requires proper tools, such as a device with rotating brushes and compressed air, or a rotating sleeve with brushes.
Removal of Broken Wires
During inspections, any broken wire ends must be removed to prevent further damage. The recommended method is to bend the wires until they break at the last point held in the stranded wire assembly, rather than using pincers.
Shortening or Relocation of Wire Ropes
Wire ropes may need to be discarded due to damage in specific zones. However, their lifespan can be extended by shifting or shortening the ropes to move the most stressed sections out of the main stress zone.
Reversal of Wire Ropes
In some cases, reversing the wire rope after a certain period can expose less worn sections to heavy wear, although the success of this practice is debated.
Inspection of Wire Ropes
Wire ropes have a limited lifespan, and their properties change over time. Regular inspections are necessary to monitor wear and identify unusual damage. DIN 15020 recommends daily visual inspections and periodic checks by trained personnel. Inspections help reduce accident risks and provide documentation to counter negligence claims.
Discard Criteria
According to DIN 15020, a wire rope must be discarded if it meets certain criteria, such as exceeding the permissible number of wire breaks, a diameter reduction of 15% or more, or significant corrosion.
Specifications and Procedures:
1. Corrosion and Wear: Wire ropes must be discarded if their load capacity or operating strength is reduced by corrosion or metallic wear. A 10% reduction in diameter compared to the nominal dimension necessitates discarding, even without wire breaks.
2. Deformations: Various deformations such as corkscrew-type, basket formations, loop formations, wire loosening, knot formations, constrictions, curl-type deformations, kinks, bends, and heat effects require discarding the wire rope.
Inspection Guidelines:
1. Inspection Locations: Visual inspections should cover the entire rope length, focusing on critical points like zones with frequent bending, load pick-up points, rope end fastenings, compensating pulleys, rope drums, rope pulleys, and zones exposed to corrosive media or heat.
2. Number of Wire Breaks for Discard: The discard criterion is based on the number of wire breaks over specific lengths (6x or 30x rope diameter). The number of breaks varies with the number of supporting wires and the drive unit group.
Inspection Tools and Methods:
1. Tools Required: A sliding gauge, tape measure, chalk, paper tape, screwdriver, magnifier, groove gauges, cleaning rag, notepad, inspection records, and a list of discard criteria.
2. Determining Wire Breaks: Conduct a visual inspection to identify zones with the highest concentration of wire breaks. Measure and mark sections of 30x rope diameter for detailed examination.
Inspection and Maintenance of Wire Ropes

Wire Break Detection:
Wire breaks are identified through visual inspection and tactile examination. The section with the most wire breaks is marked, and all breaks are counted. Cleaning the rope surface may be necessary for better visibility. Feeling the rope is crucial as wire break ends may not protrude, especially in well-formed ropes.
Rope Diameter Measurement:
The rope diameter should be measured on new ropes to ensure it falls within the standard tolerance of nominal diameter +0% to +5%. Regular measurements during operation help detect abnormal diameter reductions, which could indicate internal damage. A sliding gauge is recommended for accurate measurements.
Rope Lay Length Measurement:
Rope lay length is measured using a tape measure and chalk. Measurements should be taken over multiple lay lengths to minimize error. Changes in lay length can indicate issues with the rope.
Checking Rope Structure Strength:
The strength of the rope structure is tested by inserting a screwdriver between strands and attempting to create a gap. If the rope offers little resistance, it may indicate a loose structure.
Structural Changes Inspection:
Rope deformations such as corkscrews or loops often occur outside the main operating range. These areas, along with the main operating zones, should be inspected thoroughly. Movement of the rope during inspection can reveal hidden damage.
General Recommendations:
Any doubts about the rope's safety should lead to its discard. Abrasion marks on structural parts can indicate potential issues with the rope drive.
Checking Rope Pulleys and Rope Drums
In addition to the wire rope itself, all parts of the plant with which the rope comes into contact require attention. The guidelines for rope pulleys also apply to rope drums. The grooves of the pulleys should be smooth and slightly larger than the effective diameter of the rope. DIN 15020 recommends a groove diameter of at least 1.05 times the rope's nominal diameter, with an optimal diameter between 1.06 and 1.08 times the nominal diameter. A groove that is too narrow exposes the wire rope to heavy radial compression, leading to wire breaks or structural changes. Conversely, a groove that is too wide offers insufficient contact area and lateral support, reducing rope life.
Inspection Procedures
Groove gauges are used to check the grooves, with circular templates made on a lathe being the most effective. It is advisable to create a groove gauge with a diameter 6% larger than the rope's nominal diameter for testing, along with gauges of slightly smaller and larger diameters for comparison. The groove dimension is checked by placing the gauge in the groove and assessing the fit. If the template fits well over a large portion of the circumference, the groove dimension is correct. If it rests only on the flanks, the groove is too narrow; if it rests on a small portion, it is too wide.
Additional Considerations
Confined spaces in plants can make evaluation difficult. If side checking is not possible, templates can be pulled through the groove, and evaluation can be based on sliding marks in the lubricant. A narrow mark in the center indicates the groove is larger than the template, while a wide mark means they are the same size. Two narrow marks on the flanks indicate the template is larger than the groove. During groove measurement, the depth and surface quality are also checked. Surface changes can significantly shorten rope life. Pulleys with furrows must be changed during a rope change.
Concluding Remarks
Grove has established prerequisites for satisfactory rope life through equipment design and wire rope selection. Following the recommendations for handling, assembly, maintenance, and inspection of wire ropes can contribute to the economical operation and safety of equipment. Grove and the author, Dipl.-Ing. Roland Verreet, are available for specific questions.

  • Run the engine for 1.5 hours.
  • Drain and dispose of the mixture properly.
  • Flush the system with clean water multiple times.
  • Refill with a water-refrigerant mixture approved by Grove.
Preventive Maintenance Tips
Use clean, neutral, filtered fresh water, preferably distilled. Only use Grove-approved antifreeze and change coolant every 2000 operating hours or 24 months. Maintain water characteristics within specified pH, chloride, sulphate, and hardness levels.
Cleaning the Charge-Air and Oil Coolers
For external cleaning, use compressed air for dust and steam jets for oily deposits. For internal cleaning of oil coolers, rinse oil channels with suitable cleaning material and blow out residue with compressed air.
Winch Maintenance and Inspection
Under German regulations, cranes must be inspected annually. The theoretical length of useful life of winches must be determined, considering factors like overloading, maintenance, and operating conditions. The effective length of useful life is influenced by external factors such as misuse, maintenance errors, and environmental conditions.
Periodic Inspection and Monitoring
Inspections require determining the spent share of the theoretical length of useful life. This involves establishing operating conditions and service hours. The duty cycle is categorized into light, medium, heavy, and very heavy, each with specific stress and running time breakdowns.
Calculating Spent Share of Useful Life
The spent share is calculated using the formula: Si = (kmi/km) x Ti, where km is the duty cycle factor, kmi is the inspection interval factor, and Ti is the effective service hours. A general overhaul is required when the theoretical length of useful life is inadequate or after 10 years.
Example Calculations
Examples illustrate how to calculate the spent share and residual theoretical length of useful life over inspection intervals, emphasizing the importance of accurate documentation in the crane inspection and test log book.

  • Entry or exit from a suspended platform is only allowed if a gate is installed and the platform is secured.
  • Entrance gates must remain closed and pinned except during entry or exit.
Communication Protocols:
  • A reliable communication system must be in place to address lift constraints and environmental issues.
  • All signals must be clear to the operator, and operations should halt if communication is disrupted.
  • Hand signals should comply with ASME B30 standards unless voice communication is used.
  • Secure channels should be used for electronic communications, and emergency alert devices should be available.
Lifting Near Power Lines:
  • Lifting personnel near power lines is hazardous and should be avoided unless no safer alternative exists.
  • Clearance distances must be maintained as per the specified table, and lifting is prohibited if these distances are violated.
  • Power lines should be de-energized and grounded when possible, and a qualified representative should verify this.
  • Warning signs about electrocution risks must be posted at various locations.
Inspection and Testing:
  • Initial and regular inspections of the basket platform are required to ensure safety and compliance with ASME B30.23.
  • Proof Lift tests must be conducted at each new job site to 125% of the platform's rating, and any damage must be corrected before use.
  • Trial Lifts should be performed before each shift to verify equipment setup and operator competence.
Installation Procedures:
1. Install two bracket assemblies and two web sling shackles with slings to the basket.
2. Determine the basket type and weight for each lift using the provided table.
3. Position the weight on the floor, lower the basket onto it, and connect using slings.
