WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION
NOTE: Wire rope manufacturer’s recommendations take
precedence over information in this section.
Wire Rope Storage
Store wire rope in coils or on reels off the ground or floor in a
clean and dry indoor location. If outdoor storage is
necessary, the wire rope must be covered with a protective
wrapper. Keep the wire rope away from acids, fumes, and
other corrosives. Keep the wire rope away from heat that can
dry out the lubricant. If the storage period will be long,
lubricate the wire rope and perform periodic inspection given
in this section at least monthly.
Removing Wire Rope from Shipping Reel
1. Mount wire rope shipping reel on a shaft supported at
both ends by jacks or blocks as shown in Figure 4-39.
2. Provide a brake at shipping reel (see Figure 4-40) so
wire rope can be wound tightly onto drum.
3. Avoid a reverse bend when winding wire rope onto
drum: wind from top of reel to top of drum or from bottom
of reel to bottom of drum as shown in Figure 4-40.
4. Avoid dragging wire rope in dirt or around objects that
can scrape, nick, cut, or crush wire rope.
CAUTION!
Wire Rope Damage!
Shipping reel must rotate when wire rope is unwound.
Attempting to remove wire rope from a stationary reel can
result in a “kinked” wire rope, and wire rope will be ruined.
