Steel ropes, one of the most important pieces of equipment in cranes, wear over time and can break wires, become brittle, twist, or even completely break. Invisible breaks can even occur in the fibers within the rope. Therefore, rope inspection is vital. Steel ropes should be selected according to their intended use. Improperly selected ropes deteriorate quickly and require replacement. Proper rope selection and regular rope maintenance will extend rope life and minimize costs.

Steel ropes are visually inspected and renewed in accordance with standards, but breaks within the rope are not visible, so you can inspect the internal structure of the rope with an NDT device. As SM Crane, we provide NDT services.
