8.8.4 Assessing the condition of the hoist rope
H
If in doubt about damage assessment, always consult an official inspector.
To assess the condition of the rope, you must be familiar with the following:
– The type of rope (regular lay)
– The number of load-bearing wires in the outer strands
– The rope diameter (à Operating manual).
In a regular lay rope (1), the wires run more or
less in the longitudinal direction of the rope.
You get the number of load-bearing outer
wires (1), by counting the number of outer
strands of the rope and multiplying by 7.
H
If there are multiple layers of strands, only the outer layer is counted.
