Crane wire rope

Most cranes come with a recommended type of wire rope to use on the different functional components. Proper application of the rope to each crane function is necessary to extract best performance, prevent accident and avoid damage to the equipment. For wire rope maintenance, we use lubricants.

Selection of wire rope

Min practical factor = hoist capacity / number of reeving

Zp=F0/S

EXAMPLE:

SWL  : 10t

Reeving  : 4/1

Duty  : M4

Zp= 10/4

Zp= 2.5t

The ratio then needs to be multiply by the gravity (9.81) and the FEM safety factor depending on the mechanism duty.

MBL =Zp x 9.81 x FEM Duty

MBL =2.5 x 9.81 x 4

MBL =98.1kN

The MBL then needs to be compared to the wire rope supplier table and the suitable wire rope is selected.
