Preface about rope use
2
A wire rope can be simply considered as an assembly of several strands laid helically in different possible
arrangements in order to bear axial loads. To be fit for purpose, it must also ensure other features, like resistance
to side loads, flexibility, handling and stability. This definition, however, does not cover completely the implications
of correct rope design, manufacturing, use and inspection, as the real mandatory requirement must be, in any case,
safety compliance, which allows adequate working conditions for men and environment.
To ensure high quality standards, our Company has settled up a complete process, which includes custom design
software, state of the art manufacturing equipment and skilled personnel with proven expertise.
Rope integrity management should always be operated by properly trained personnel, who should
always refer to general regulations, specific customer standards, local legislation and internal guidance.
The content of this document is a brief abstract of rope characteristics and recommendations for rope use and it is not
intended to be all-inclusive; specific matters can be followed with special care to customer needs by our technical
departments.
