Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct rope for my lifting equipment?
The correct rope depends on application factors such as load type, bending cycles, abrasion, and whether it is used for main hoist, auxiliary hoist, or boom hoist functions. A technical survey is typically required to confirm specification.
What documentation is provided after installation?
You will receive rope or chain certification along with any client-specific documentation and site sign-off records following completion.
How often should lifting ropes be replaced?
Replacement intervals depend on usage, environment, and wear characteristics such as fatigue or crushing. Regular inspection is required to determine service life.
Is post-installation testing included?
Yes, systems are tested after installation to ensure correct operation before being returned to service.
