Port steel wire ropes are important tools for loading and unloading goods. In order to ensure safety and work efficiency, regular inspections and replacements are required. The following is the judgment method for replacing port steel wire ropes:

1、 Visual inspection

Firstly, it is necessary to inspect the appearance of the steel wire rope to observe whether there are any problems such as deformation, uneven contour, broken core and strand. At the same time, pay attention to observing whether there is corrosion or cracks on the surface of the steel wire rope. If these problems occur, it indicates that the steel wire rope has reached the replacement standard and needs to be replaced.

2、 Check length

Secondly, check whether the length of the steel wire rope meets the specified limit. During the use of port steel wire ropes, they will withstand a large amount of tension and friction for a long time, which is prone to wear, fracture, and deformation. When the length of the steel wire rope exceeds the specified limit, there are problems such as concentrated tension and core fracture. Therefore, it is necessary to check the length. When the length exceeds the limit, it needs to be replaced.

3、 Usage time

Port steel wire ropes may lose their strength during use due to prolonged use and cannot withstand greater tensile forces. Based on the material and service life of the steel wire rope, determine its endurance time. If it has been used for a long time and reaches the specified service life, and after inspection, damage and deformation are still found, it is necessary to replace it in a timely manner.

4、 Overload use

When steel wire ropes are subjected to overload, they are easily damaged or even damaged, leading to dangerous situations such as breakage and deformation. Therefore, if overloading occurs, it is necessary to thoroughly inspect the steel wire rope to ensure safe use.

5、 Regular maintenance

The port steel wire rope needs regular maintenance, such as regularly adding lubricating oil, keeping it dry, and cleaning the surface of the rope body. If there is wear, breakage, or deformation, replace it as soon as possible.

6、 Check the hook

The use of equipment such as pulleys and hooks can easily cause damage to steel wire ropes in the working environment. If the steel wire rope frequently experiences excessive stretching, friction, and other situations, it can directly lead to rope strand damage and corrosion, thereby affecting the performance of the rope. Therefore, when inspecting the steel wire rope, it is also necessary to pay attention to the condition of the hook.

To sum up, regular inspection and replacement of wire rope can not only avoid job security accidents, but also extend the service life of the rope and improve work efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to pay full attention to the regular inspection and replacement of steel wire ropes.
