Starlift Xtra ®

Features

• The new high performance rotation resistant hoist rope that provides the user unique characteristics. • Is the strongest of all ropes in the Casar high performance rotation-resistant product line. • The balanced design results in minimal torque under load, providing superior rotation resistance. Under a normal working load range it has virtually no tendency to rotate, making it ideal for both single-part and multi-part hoist systems and also for those involving long falls where rotation resistance is required. • The multi-strand design combined with compacted strands and lang lay construction helps to maximize resistance to wear by greatly increasing wire and strand surface areas that contact sheaves and drums. • The characteristics of Starlift Xtra enhance its performance in multiple-layer spooling as well. The design provides excellent resistance to both abrasion and scrubbing that occurs at kick over areas and crushing that occurs at the crossover points in multiple-layer drum spooling. • May be used with a swivel • Meets Category 1 requirements according to ASTM A1023 and the general guidance on the use of a swivel given in Annex A ISO 21669 • Main Applications: Main and Auxiliary Mobile Crane Hoist Rope, Tower Crane Hoist Rope. Piling Hoist Lines and some Overhead Cranes

XLT4 XLT4 – The Four Strand Mobile Crane Hoist Rope That Is Unequalled

Features • • • •

Low torque, high strength Can be used with a swivel Lower cost than 35x7 Can be used at design factor of 3.5 to 1

XLT4 was designed specifically to meet the special wire rope requirements of mobile crane operations. Of all the four strand products on the market, only XLT4 offers this unique combination of characteristics in a mobile crane hoist rope. Extremely Low Torque— XLT4 exhibits near-zero torque under load, matching or surpassing Category 1 rotation resistant 35x7 class ropes for stability. The unique XLT4 single-layer, four strand design creates a balance between rope lay and strand lay. Superior Lifting Capacity— Double compacted XLT4 packs more high-tensile steel wire per diameter giving it one of the highest strength-to-diameter ratios in the industry. And, since XLT4 is not classified as a rotation resistant rope, it is designated for use with a design factor as low as 3.5, thus further increasing its lifting capacity when compared to rotation-resistant ropes that require a design factor of 5.0. Swivel Compatible— Unlike most other four strand ropes, XLT4 can be used in longfall, multi-part reeving systems or as a single-part hoist with or without a swivel at the headache ball. And XLT4 requires no special end preparation. Reduced Scrubbing and Abrasion— The four wide, single-layer strands and compacted construction of XLT4 keeps more steel in contact with sheaves and drums. Greater surface area reduces unit pressure at the contact points - thus extending service life by reducing wear and corrugation on sheaves and drums. Economical— Created with WRCA’s exclusive PowerSteel® Technology, XLT4 benefits from unmatched design and manufacturing efficiencies to keep costs low. It also helps extend the life of crane components, provides for smoother operation and, with its exceptional lifting capacity, often requires fewer parts of line to make a lift. For main and auxiliary hoist operations, XLT4 stands apart from both four strand and multi strand ropes in mobile crane applications. Other four strand ropes offer some of the characteristics mentioned above, but in the wire rope industry XLT4 has no equal.

Union Flex-X 7 CC

Flex-X 7 CC - a crane rope that guarantees a lift in productivity. Flex-X 7 CC extended duty crane and hoist rope is designed and manufactured primarily for the container crane industry where repetitive, continuous operations is required. Since its debut, additional research and extensive testing have shown that Flex-X 7 CC delivers the same exceptional fatigue resistance and service life to other applications where bending fatigue is a problem. Already a preferred rope for container cranes, Flex-X 7 CC is now providing extended service life in carriage operations and other applications where multi-sheave equipment and rigorous duty cycles induce fatigue stresses. Almost any application currently using a 6x36 construction can gain an increase in service life with Flex-X 7 CC. FLEX-X 7 CC STARTS OUT STRONGER. When comparing strength, you’ll see that Flex-X 7 CC provides a significant increase. Actual test results show this differential increases throughout the fatigue life of the rope. In fact, Flex-X 7 CC rope still has 103% of the standard rope’s original strength at the point where standard rope experiences complete fatigue failure. For more information, review our product flyer. FLEX-X 7 CC LASTS LONGER. Flex-X 7 CC’s longer service life results in lower maintenance costs due to fewer rope changes. In addition, fatigue tests have shown that Flex-X 7 CC will outperform competitors’ premium 8-strand compacted, coated core ropes by 60% or more. These tests have also shown that Flex-X 7 CC outlasts standard ropes by up to 88%.

Tightly compacted smooth design offers: o More crushing resistance than standard 19x7 rope. o Higher strength-to-diameter. o Resistance to bending fatigue. o Exceptional stability. o Reduced wear to sheaves and drums. o Improved handling, operating, and spooling characteristics. Greater fatigue resistance substantially reduces rope expense and extends service life. Ideal for multi-part hoist lines wherever you encounter spooling problems, drum crushing, block twisting. or have fast line speeds.

Flex-X 6 • • • •

Provides greater surface area and more steel per given diameter, increasing rope stability and strength (When compared to conventional 6 strand ropes). Results in longer service life and less sheave and drum wear. Drum scrubbing between the lead line and the previous wrap is reduced. The smooth contact creates less interference, less metal loss and wire deformation.

Master Link Hybrid Features Master Link Hybrid (MFH), is completely new and unique on the market, designed to fit perfectly on DIN 15401 crane hooks. The top part of the master link has an extended radius, allowing a perfect fit on the crane hook. This minimizes the wear and tear of both the master link and the crane hook, which otherwise can lead to corrosion and a shorter product life span. Unlike the pear-shaped master link, the MFH has parallel legs offering generous space to connect multiple legs which also makes the assembly easier for the user. The lower half of the master link is rounded and this allows the load to automatically center with every lift, increasing balance and a safer working situation. The risk of tilting is completely eliminated.

Perfect fit

Perfect balance

Generous space

The upper part of the master link has a larger radius, ensuring a perfect fit on the crane hook. This means less wear and tear, both on the crane hook and the master link.

The shape of the lower half of the master link will automatically centre the load, increasing the safety in every lift.

Parallel legs provide generous space for connecting multiple legs to the master link, making assembly easier.

Crane Sheaves McKissick® Roll-Forged™ Sheaves Stepped Hub Design Proves Better The McKissick ® hub is stepped to eliminate stress failure in the weld, common in traditional hub designs. The hub is pressed into place with complete metal-to-metal contact. This helps ensure an accurate alignment to the hub’s axis so there is no wobble or lopping of the rotating sheave. The precision aligned hub/ sheave wheel combination adds to th f and keeps the sheave fe vienbearing life vin on the job longer.

Full Range of Standard Sheave Sizes McKissick ® Roll-Forged™ sheaves are available in a full range of sizes from 12 inches to 78 inches, and bearing styles and prices that best fit your application.. Crosby also manufactures custom McKissick ® sheaves and can make k minor ke modifications to standard sheaves as needed ffor special applications.

Closed Die Upset and Roll Forged – Not Split

* U.S. Patent 7,000,905 and 7,293,763

Crosby’s hardening technique is a science. It provides a precise maximum hardness for wearresistance across the wire rope contact area. The McKissick ® sheave groove is flame hardened to a minimum 35 Rockwell C for a 140°, contact area with the wire rope (upon special request the McKissick ® sheave groove can be flame hardened to a minimum 50 rockwell C for f a 150° contact area with the wire rope). The solid steel plate provides the ideal surface for flame hardening and a closer tolerance fit to the wire rope to reduce fatigue and wear.

Bearing Selection to Match Your Job Requirement

Full penetration weld is standard on 40” and larger sheaves.

Upsetting and roll forging forms the groove and flange walls in multiple steps, eliminating the need to split and weaken the groove. This exclusive forging process adds extra strength to the critical groove section. You can count on a McKissick ® sheave to give maximum life performance, because it’s forged to distribute the wire rope forces evenly over an accurately formed load surface. Plus, uniformity of the roll forged groove adds longer wire rope life.

Flame Hardened Groove

Solid Steel – No Casting Every McKissick ® Roll-Forged™ sheave starts as a single piece of solid carbon steel plate It’s flame-cut from closely checked cked stock, so there’s ck no inherent web/rim flaw as you find in cast sheaves. There’s better bal ance and better distribution ion of forces with a McKissick ® Roll-Forged™ sheave too. Casting can result in groove wall variations – either too thick or too thin – causing uneven stresses and early arly ffailure.

The McKissick ® Roll-Forged™ sheave is available in the following configurations: • Plain bore • Bronze bushed • Roller bearing • Tapered roller bearing • Lubrication thru hub • Key ways Key • Set screws • Full Complement Bearing Sheaves are available to API 8A and 8C.

Tuff-Lift Wire Rope Slings ®

All wire rope used meets API specifications Flemish splice high efficiency eyes XIP strength increases capacity Customized to specifications Manufactured in accordance with ASME B30.9 standards All Titan Supply slings are manufactured using Crosby sleeves

! WARNING See wire rope technical data page for inspection & removal criteria

TRI-FLEX ® WIRE ROPE SLING This is a three part wire rope sling developed to give the rigger the advantages of strength combined with greater flexibility. It was created to replace large diameter single part wire rope slings which proved awkward and stiff. These slings are made in matching lengths.

T& D ULTRA-FLEX WIRE ROPE SLING This wire rope sling is an extremely flexible product with great applications for general rigging purposes in the utility industry. It makes a fantastic choker sling especially when lifting poles. Development was through a committee composed of utility company workers and members of the SLINGMAX ® design team.

GATOR-MAX MAX® SLING

This is the strongest multi-part sling with great flexibility. It will develop its full strength on small pins. For heavy lifting work this is the most efficient wire rope sling that meets all of the standards.This sling was developed to meet conditions specified by the US Navy and the Wire Rope Technical Board Sling Manual.

GATOR-LAID® WIRE ROPE SLING This is identical to the Gator-Max ® sling with the parallel eyes except it has metal sleeves for the splice connection. This is the product when a big lift but shorter sling is required. The Gator-Flex ® and Gator-Laid ® products were developed in conjunction with the off-shore oil industry to provide the worlds best heavy lift wire rope slings.

GATOR-FLEX® NINE PART GROMMETS Ultra flexible slings for that short heavy lift connection. These slings can be made shorter than standard multi-part slings but maintain all of the advantages.

GATOR-FLEX® WIRE ROPE SLING This sling has a nine part body style but the eyes are crossed or interwoven so that no wrapping is necessary. The sling was developed in conjunction with riggers in the field that wished to create a sling for heavy lifts that could be visually inspected and have the highest flexibility possible in a multi-part wire rope sling.

Twin-Path® Twin-Path® Extra Sling with Covermax® and K-Spec® Core Yarn TPXC This is the world’s first truly ergonomic sling with Covermax® covers for superior abrasion resistance. These are made in sizes up to 600 tons vertical rated capacity. Larger capacity slings are available on special order. These slings have overload indicators, inner red cover, and are used worldwide in place of wire rope slings for heavy lifts. They are approximately 10% of the weight of a steel sling. These products are repairable. The Twin-Path® patented design provides the rigger with two connections between the hook and the load for redundant back-up protection. These slings have less than 1% stretch at rated capacity. If ergonomics, productivity and safety are important, then these slings are the only choice. This is the lightest and strongest sling on the market today with K-Spec® – the longest lasting load bearing core yarn, backed by independent testing.

* Dimensions can vary according to the hardware or bearing points the slings are used with. Minimum is “tapered” width; Maximum is the flat tubing width. METRIC SLINGS AVAILABLE.

Check-Fast® Inspection System

(also known as the √ Fast System)

The Check-Fast® System is designed to improve job-site safety. The √ Fast® Tag and External Warning Indicator (EWI) on a roundsling product provides for a pass/fail inspection of the internal load bearing core yarn. Damage to the core yarn from ultraviolet (UV) light degradation, fiber on fiber abrasion, fatigue, and severe overload can be detected. If the sling is mistakenly overloaded beyond rated capacity, the EWI is designed to disappear before the sling fails. The sling inspector now has a GO/NO-GO inspection device rather than relying on a subjective handover-hand inspection to make an educated guess if the load bearing core yarns are in good condition. This safety system is available for High Performance K-Spec® Fiber Roundslings or polyester roundslings fabricated by authorized Patent #7,661,737 Foreign Patents Pending SLINGMAX® Dealers.

PAD EYE TESTER - HYDRAULIC Testing of the hardware, slings and hoist are commonplace before making a lift. However, testing the connection from which the hoist is hanging is rarely part of the prelift testing. This pad eye tester weighs as little as forty ty pounds and attaches directly to the pad eye in the ceiling deck, or bulkhead. Test with up to 25 tons of force to verify that the pad eye will hold to the surface. This idea came from a discussion with riggers in a shipyard who had been involved in accidents when pad eyes broke from their welds and the rigging gear and load dropped.

Crane Users Guide Choosing the right wire rope for your application

ith each application, your choices of wire ropes can be many. How do you know which one works best for you? Ropes include a combination of characteristics that give them specific performance abilities. Before you choose, it pays to look closely at each rope’s special characteristics.

BENEFIT OF FEWER OUTSIDE WIRES PER STRAND

ABRASION RESISTANCE > Increases with larger wires. > Decreases with smaller wires. BENEFIT OF MORE OUTSIDE WIRES PER STRAND

FA GUE FATI RESISTANCE > Decreases with larger wires. > Increases with smaller wires.

NO SINGLE WIRE ROPE CAN DO IT ALL All wire ropes feature design characteristic tradeoffs. In most cases, a wire rope cannot increase both fatigue f resistance and abrasion resistance. For example, when you increase e ffatigue resistance by selecting a rope with more wires, the rope will have less abrasion resistance because of its greater number of smaller outer wires. When you need wire rope with greater abrasion resistance, one choice is a rope with fewer (and larger) outer wires to reduce the effects of surface wear. But that means the rope’s fatigue resistance will decrease. That’s why you need to choose your wire rope like you would any other machine. Very carefully. carefully You must consider all operating conditions and rope characteristics. THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF WIRE ROPE How do you choose the wire rope that’s best suited for your job? Following are the most common characteristics to be considered when selecting a rope for an application. STRENGTH Wire rope strength is usually measured in tons of 2,000 lbs. In published material, wire rope strength is shown as minimum breaking force or nominal (catalog) strength.

These refer to calculated strength figures that have been accepted by the wire rope industry. When placed under tension on a test device, a new rope should break at a figure equal to – or higher than – the minimum breaking force shown for that rope. The published values apply to new, unused rope. A rope should never operate at – or near – the minimum breaking force. The minimum breaking force of the rope must be divided by the design factor required for the application to determine the maximum load allowed on the rope. During its useful life, a rope loses strength gradually due to natural causes such as surface wear and metal fatigue. FATIGUE RESISTANCE Fatigue resistance involves fatigu f e of the wires that make up a rope. To have high ffatigue resistance, wires must be capable of bending repeatedly under stress – for example, as a loaded rope passes over a sheave during operation. Increased fatigue resistance is achieved in a rope design by using a large number of wires. It involves both the wire properties and rope construction. In general, a rope made of many wires will have greater fatigu f e resistance than a same-size rope made of fewer, larger wires because smaller wires have greater ability to bend as the rope passes over sheaves or around drums. To overcome the effects of fatigue, ropes must never bend over sheaves or drums with a diameter so small as to bend wires excessively. ely There are precise ely. recommendations for sheave and drum sizes to properly accommodate all sizes and types typ of ropes.

SUPERIOR PRODUCTS, EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

Crane Users Guide Every rope is subject to metall ffatigue from bending stress while in operation, and therefore the rope’s strength gradually diminishes as the rope is used.

Peening usually occurs on drums, caused by rope-to-rope contact during spooling of the rope on the drum. It may also occur on sheaves.

CRUSHING RESISTANCE Crushing is the effect of external pressure on a rope, which damages it by distorting the cross-section shape of the rope, its strands or core – or all three.

Peening causes metal fatigue, which in turn may cause wire e ffailure. The hammering – which causes the metal of the wire to flow into a new shape – realigns the grain structure of the metal, thereby affecting itss ffatigue resistance. The out-of-round shape also impairs wire movement when the rope bends.

Crushing resistance therefore is a rope’s ability to withstand or resist external forces, and is a term generally used to express comparison between ropes. When a rope is damaged by crushing, the wires, strands and core are prevented from moving and adjusting normally during operation. In general, IWRC ropes are more crush resistant than fiber core ropes. Regular lay ropes are more crush resistant than lang lay ropes. 6-strand ropes have greater crush resistance than 8-strand ropes or 19-strand ropes. Flex-X® ropes are more resistant than standard roundstrand ropes. RESISTANCE TO METAL LOSS AND DEFORMATION Metal loss refers to the actual wearing away of metal from the outer wires of a rope, and metal deformation is the changing of the shape of outer wires of a rope. In general, resistance to metal loss by abrasion (usually called “abrasion resistance” refers to a rope’s ability to resistance”) withstand metal being worn away along its exterior. This reduces strength of a rope.

RESISTANCE TO ROTATION When a load is placed on a rope, torque is created within the rope as wires and strands try to straighten out. This is normal and the rope is designed to operate with this load-induced torque. However this torque can cause both However, single part and multiple part hoisting systems to rotate. Load-induced torque can be reduced by specially designed ropes. In standard 6- and 8-strand ropes, the torques produced by the outer strands and the IWRC are in the same direction and add together. XLT4 ropes use the torque created by the strand lay and the rope lay to minimize the total rope torque. In rotation-resistant ropes, the lay of the outer strands is in the opposite direction to the lay of the inner strands, thus the torques produced are in opposite directions and the torques subtract from each other.

“SQUARED ENDS” > Typical example of breaks due to fatigue.

“CRUSHING” Typical example of external pressure on a wire rope.

CROSS-SECTION > OF A WORN WIRE Original > cross-section Worn surface

CROSS-SECTION OF A PEENED WIRE > Original cross-section > Peened surface

The most common form of metal deformation is generally called “peening” – since outside wires of a peened rope appear to have been “hammered” along their exposed surface.

Crane Users Guide Wire ropes for rotational stability

opes that provide load stability can often provide the best and most economical service in specific applications when you choose, handle and use them properly. Contra-helically laid, rotation-resistant ropes are different from standard ropes because they’re designed to reduce rope torque. Modes of ffailure ailure and wear for rotation-resistant ropes can differ from those for standard rope constructions. The very nature of these ropes requires special handling, selection and usage not encountered with standard constructions. These ropes are susceptible to kinking, crushing and unbalancing in the form of “core pops” and “birdcages” if used or handled improperly. Use care to avoid operational practices that can possibly lead to these conditions. There are different types of rotationresistant ropes, categorized by their resistance to rotation. Category 1 rotationresistant rope (Starlift ift Xtra) has at least 15 if outer strands, has three layers of strands (over a center) and has little or no tendency to rotate, or, if guided, transmits little or no torque. It can be used with a swivel. Because Category 1 rotation resistant ropes are manufactured with little or no preforming, it is critical to not remove the welded ends. If the welded ends are removed the rope can become unbalanced. Category 2 rotation-resistant rope (Flex-X 19 and 19 x 7) has 10 or more outer strands, has two or more layers of strands (over a center) and has a significant resistance to rotation. Category 3 rotation-resistant rope (8 x 19 RTW) has no more than 9 outer strands, has two layers of strands (over a center) and has limited resistance to rotation. For best performance, Category 2 and 3 rotation-resistant ropes should not be used with a swivel.

STARLIFT XTRA™ Starlift Xtra, a Category 1 rotationresistant rope, features a unique design that minimizes the torque and rotation of the rope at normal load ranges of zero to 20% of the rope’s minimum breaking force (MBF). In addition, Starlift fft Xtra is engineered to give you maximum strength per diameter while also achieving superior fatigue resistance. These factors combine to give you the maximum service life when you have long block falls or load control is critical. Unlike other rotation-resistant ropes, swivels can be used in your system with Starlift Xtra. Starlift Xtra wire rope has one off the highest strength-to-diameter ratios on the market. ASME B30.5 Mobile and Locomotive Cranes requires a design factor of 3.5 for 6-strand hoist ropes. The same standard requires a design factor of 5.0 for rotation-resistant ropes. The MBF of Starlift fft Xtra is such that even with the 5.0 design factor,r,r it has lifting capacities that equal or exceed 6-strand XIP ropes utilizing a 3.5 design factor. Other ropes of similar construction do not provide this benefit. The characteristics off Starlift Xtra enhance its performance in multiplelayer spooling as well. The lang lay construction, coupled with the special design features, provide excellent resistance to abrasion that occurs at kickover areas in drum spooling. The rope construction combined with the compacted strand design of Starlift if ift Xtra results in a rope cross-section of very high density. yy. This feature provides increased resistance to crushing.

operation. Where there is multiple layer spooling, the base layers on the drum must be under tension to assure proper spooling and to avoid “pull-in” of the upper layers. The tension on these lower layers ensures that the rope is both tight against adjacent wraps and tight around the drum which establishes a solid foundation ion ffor the upper layers.

XLT 4 ropes are specially designed to provide very low torque, a high minimum breaking force and high resistance to wear in multi-layer spooling. Under load, XLT 4 generates near-zero torque, matching or surpassing the stability of Category 1 35 x 7 class rotation-resistant ropes. Yet, thanks to its unique design, XLT 4 is not classified as a “rotation-resistant” rope. It can be used with or without a swivel as a mobile crane hoist rope at design n ffactors as low as 3.5 to 1.

Crane Users Guide Guidelines for installation and maintenance. WHEN YOU’RE INSTALLING WIRE ROPE, THERE’S A PRIMARY CONCERN: Getting the rope on the equipment without trapping any twist that may have been induced during handling or installation.

THE PREFERRED TECHNIQUE FOR INSTALLING ROPE ONTO ACRANE. 1. UNLOAD ROPE PROPERLY AND RELIEVE ANY TWISTS.

Pull the rope off the shipping reel or unroll it from a shipping coil as shown. (If done improperly, you may kink the rope, which will result in permanent damage to the rope.) Then lay the rope on the ground in a direct line with the boom. This helps release any twist in the rope.

Unreel rope from a shaft supported by two jacks. Uncoil rope by rolling it along ground like a hoop. 2. ATTACH ROPE’S END TO DRUM. Pull the

rope over the point sheave and attach the end to the drum. Before making any end attachment, be sure the rope strands are free to adjust. (In other words, make sure the end of the rope is not welded together.) 3. WIND ROPE ONTO DRUM SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. At this point, it isn’t

necessary to provide additional load other than the weight of the rope being pulled across the ground.

4. SPOOL FIRST LAYER TIGHTLY.

Make sure the foundation layer is spooled tightly.

It’s essential on smooth-faced drums that the first layer is spooled with wraps tight and close together since the first layer forms the foundation for succeeding layers. If need be, use a rubber lead or brass mallet (but never rubber, a steel hammer hammer) to tap the rope in place.

5. SPOOL MULTIPLE LAYERS WITH SUFFICIENT TENSION. It’s very important

to apply a tensioning load to the ropes during the rope breaking-in process. (If not, the lower layers may be loose enough that the upper layers The result of improper become wedged tensioning is a “pulling in” of into the lower the rope. layers under load, which can seriously damage the rope.) The tensioning load should range from 2 to 3% of the rope’s minimum breaking force. 6. FOR ROPES IN MULTI-PART SYSTEMS:

Crane Users Guide BREAKING IN YOUR NEW WIRE ROPE.

RELIEVING TWIST.

After installation, you should properly break in your rope, which allows the rope’s component parts to adjust themselves to your operating conditions.

To relieve twist that may be trapped in a rope spooled directly off a reel to the drum, raise the boom to its highest position while letting out the rope until the rope almost touches the ground. Let the rope hang free without added load while standing clear. When twist is fully relieved, proceed with rigging the crane.

With the boom fully raised – and fully extended if you’re using a hydraulic boom – attach a light load at the hook and raise it a few inches off the ground. Allow to stand for several minutes. Then cycle the load between the full “up” and “down” positions several times. Stand back and watch the drum winding and rope travel for any potential problems. After making the lifts with a light load, increase the load and cycle it up and down a few times. This procedure will train the rope and help assure smooth operation during its useful life. Ideally, you should run these loads with reeving that lets you place the loads on the block with all rope off the drum except the last three wraps. If this isn’t possible, alternate methods must be used to assure proper tensioning of the rope on the drum.

LUBRICATE ROPES OFTEN FOR LONG LIFE.

To properly maintain your rope, the first place to check is for obvious signs of abuse from other parts of the rope system. But the biggest part of maintenance involves regular lubrication to prevent corrosion and to reduce friction between the rope’s components as well as the friction between rope and sheaves or drums. Your rope receives internal lubricant at the factory factory, actory, but it’s not enough to last the rope’s entire life due to constant bending over sheaves and drums. The need to keep ropes properly lubricated can’t be overemphasized. CLEAN ROPES FIRST.

RIGGING IN TIGHT QUARTERS.

If you can’t lay the new rope out on the ground before rigging – and you need to pull it directly from the reel – further steps are necessary. necessary First, you should mount the reel on a shaft through flange holes and on jack stands, making sure you spool as illustrated below. While unspooling, do not allow the reel to “free-wheel.” l. Brake l.” the reel by applying pressure to a flange. Never apply braking pressure to the rope on the reel – or pass the rope rope between blocks of wood or other material.

Remove excess dirt, rock dust or other materials that can prevent field-applied lubricants from properly penetrating into the ropes. LUBRICATE USING ONE OF TWO METHODS.

One is called manual lubrication such as spray or drip systems that apply lubricant when you want. You can also swab or paint lube into your moving rope by hand, or pour lube onto your rope as it passes a certain point. The other is called automatic lubrication that drips or sprays lube onto your rope as it passes over a sheave at preselected intervals.

WHAT LUBRICANT SHOULD YOU USE? There are two lubricants you should not use Never apply heavy grease to the rope because it can trap excessive grit and dust, which can externally damage the rope or be forced inside, causing hidden damage Nor should you apply used “engine oil” because it contains materials that can damage your rope The kind and amount of lubricant will vary according to the type and use of your wire rope But the lubricant should have these traits: > Penetrate to the rope core The best way is to apply at a place where the rope bends, such as over a sheave, exposing the wires and strands to provide a better opening to the core > Contain enough adhesive to wires in the rope and the spaces around the wires > Be free of acids and alkalis > Resist corrosion > Stay put without being easily washed away

Crane Users Guide How to inspect your wire ropes.

espite their durability and strength, wire ropes used on cranes will wear out and need to be retired from service. That’s why regular inspection is so crucial to your long-term success. It’s important to appoint a qualified trained person to conduct the inspection and understand the mechanics of inspection. This section offers you general guidelines, but for more detailed information, please consult our Techreport 107.

FOCUS ON YOUR ROPE’S CRITICAL POINTS.

While you’re required to inspect the entire rope length, we recommend you pay particular attention to the critical points of a wire rope. These are the points subject to greater internal stresses, greater external forces or are more susceptible to damage. Rope deterioration normally occurs more quickly at these points, so it pays to expand your inspection in these important areas: PICK-UP POINTS. These are sections of

HOW OFTEN TO INSPECT.

Obviously, the more you use a wire rope, the more often you need to inspect it. According to the ASME standards, owners or users are required to visually inspect all wire ropes at least once every day when in use. A qualified, trained person should be appointed to conduct the inspection. That person is also required to periodically inspect all wire ropes and keep a written record, noting any damage and recording when ropes are replaced. This will give you a basis for judging the proper time to replace your ropes. We recommend you set up a longrange inspection program, including examination of ropes removed from service.

ropes repeatedly placed under stress when you apply the initial load of each lift ift such as those sections contacting the if sheaves or on the drums. END ATTACHMENTS. Attachments at the

dead end and drum restrict the free movement of wires, normally leading to broken wires that are more difficult to detect. Inspect with an awl to expose them, and if you find more than one broken wire, replace the rope or cut off the affected area and reattach the fitting. Corrosion can be more prevalent in this area. Be sure to also inspect the fitting itself. DRUMS. Check for signs of wear that

could damage wire rope. For grooved drums, inspect the grooves for smoothness and absence of corrugation. For smooth drums, check for wire rope corrugation. It’s also important to verify that the required minimum number of dead wraps remain on the drum and to check the condition of the drum flanges. SHEAVES. The grooves on sheaves usually

SUPERIOR PRODUCTS, EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

Crane Users Guide SHEAVES. The grooves on sheaves usually

wear smaller over time. With a groove gauge, check each sheave for proper groove size and contour, as well as smoothness. Grooves that are too small or tight can cause pinching and increased wear while grooves that are too wide can cause flattening of the rope – both of which can reduce your rope’s life. Any application that has both ends of the rope on a drum (typically overhead cranes and boom hoists) has an “idler” sheave at the center of the rope. The rope at this point must be pulled off the sheave and inspected closely for crown

and valley broken wires at each periodic inspection. HEAT EXPOSURE. Watch for evidence of

heat exposure which can damage the rope and its lubricant. Any contact with an electrical arc such as welding is reason for removal of the entire rope. Never use the rope as the ground for an arc welder. ABUSE POINTS. Check for “bright” spots where ropes are subjected to abnormal scuffing and scraping. Look for any condition that causes the rope to be asymmetrical.

HOW TO FIND BROKEN WIRES. One of the most common signs of rope deterioration is broken wires, normally the outside wires at the crowns of the strandsDuring your inspection, it’s very important to search for broken wires, especially the areas of the rope in contact with sheaves and drums when loads are picked up

Crane Users Guide When to replace your ropes.

ccording to the ASME B30.5 standard for mobile cranes, there are no precise rules to determine the exact time to replace rope because so many variables are involved. Once a rope reaches a specified removal criteria, it may be allowed to operate to the end of the work shift, based on the judgement of a qualified person. The rope should be replaced after that work shift at the end of the day – or at the latest prior to the equipment being used by the next work shift.

The following required standards established by ASME B30.5 that provide specific reasons to replace wire ropes. BROKEN WIRES. For running ropes including XLT 4 ropes, replace when you see six randomly distributed broken wires in one lay – or three broken wires in one strand in one lay.

ONE BROKEN WIRE EXTENDING FROM ROPE’S CORE. When you see one outer

wire broken at the point of contact with the rope’s core which has worked its way out or looped out from the rope structure, you’ll need to conduct additional inspection of that section of rope. EXTENSIVE E ROPE WEAR. W hen wear

reaches one-third the original diameter of the outside individual wires, it’s time to replace the rope. ROPE DISTORTION. N. Replace any rope with evidence of kinking, crushing, birdcaging or any other damage resulting in distortion of the rope structure. HEAT DAMAGE. Because heat exposure can damage the rope and its lubricant, always remove ropes damaged by heat from any cause.

For rotation resistant ropes categories 1, 2 and 3, replace when you see two randomly distributed broken wires in six rope diameters – or four randomly distributed broken wires in 30 rope diameters. Broken wire removal criteria apply to wire ropes operating on steel sheaves and drums. The user should contact the sheave, drum or crane manufacturer for broken wire removal criteria for wire ropes operating on sheaves and drums made of material other than steel.

REDUCTIONS IN NOMINAL DIAMETER.

Replace any rope when its measured diameter has decreased more than 5% below its nominal diameter. WHAT REPLACEMENT ROPE TO USE.

Your replacement rope should have a minimum breaking force at least as great as the original rope furnished or recommended by the crane manufacturer. Any deviation from the original size, grade or construction must be specified by the wire rope manufacturer, crane manufacturer or a qualified person. See pages 6-7.

Always measure the largest dimension when measuring your rope.

WHAT ABOUT IDLE ROPES? All wire

ropes that have been idle for one month or longer due to shutdown or storage of the crane on which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re installed should be inspected according to ASME standards before you place them in service. Make sure an authorized person inspects for all types of rope deterioration.

DRUM SPOOLING: A TIGHT SITUATION FOR CRANE OPERATORS.

hen you’re installing a new rope onto a crane, there’s a primary objective: spool the rope onto the equipment tightly without trapping any twist in the rope on the drum. (See installation guidelines for details.)

For multiple-layer spooling, it’s essential to get the first layers of rope spooled with sufficient tension. Particularly with smooth-faced drums, the first layers must be tight with each wrap snug against the preceding wrap. Since the first layer provides the “grooving” for upper layers, wraps must be placed tightly together. If not, wraps in upper layers will pull down between wraps already on the drum, which can cause crushing damage and reduced rope strength and service life. When you encounter spooling problems, check the following list to identify the possible cause. If any of these are incorrect, the result can include open (or loose) spooling, random spooling or stacking of rope against drum flanges. DRUM ALIGNMENT.

Before spooling, make sure the drum is level and at right angles to the boom. Many drums are mounted on the frame so that adjustment can be made in alignment. DRUM WINDING.

Left lay Underwind

Wire rope should wind onto the smooth-faced drum as shown. Make sure you wrap the rope left or right and over or under as recommended.

USE OF A SWIVEL.

Except for Category 1 rotation-resistant ropes and XLT 4 , a swivel end termination will let the rope lay lengthen when loaded. As the rope spools onto a drum, the unlaid rope travels over the point sheave and accumulates between the drum and point sheave. This leads to block rotation, erratic spooling, unbalancing and decreased rope service. Category 1 rotation resistant ropes and XLT 4 may be used with a swivel without these concerns. FLEET ANGLE.

One of the most important factors in proper winding of rope on drums. For smooth-faced drums, this angle should be between 1/2° and 1-1/2”. For grooved drums, it should be between 1/2” and 2”. Fleet angles larger than these can cause spooling problems and the rope to rub against the flanges of the sheave – plus may lead to rope crushing and abrasion on the drum. Fleet angles smaller than these may cause the rope to pile up at the flanges. POINT SHEAVE.

When more than one sheave is in use at the boomtip, make sure the lead line presents the optimum fleet angle to the drum.

SUPERIOR PRODUCTS, EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

Crane Users Guide GROOVED DRUMS.

Groove spacing must be adequate to prevent the rope from crowding out adjacent wraps as the rope spools across the drum. In addition, groove spacing must not be excessive, which can allow wraps of the next layer to pull down between wraps of the previous layer, causing abrasion and crushing.

IMPROPER INSTALLATION.

When a rope has been installed in such a way that twist has been introduced into the rope, spooling problems can result. (See installation guidelines for details.)

DRUM FLANGES.

RISER STRIPS AND KICK PLATES.

Flanges should be perpendicular to the drum face and not worn, deformed or spread outward. These conditions can cause spooling problems at the changeof-layer point as additional layers are spooled.

If spooling problems persist after you’ve considered the above conditions, try using riserr strips and kick plates. For details on these accessories, check with your crane manufacturer or call Union for technical service.

Rope unbalance: a problem of unequal proportions .

lso called “wavy rope,” unbalance is an indication or result of abnormal movement of strands in an operating rope. It usually involves two or more outer strands of rope rising out of position, standing higher than remaining strands with no apparent cause or evidence of external physical force. Anytime you see an unbalanced rope, you should increase your rope inspection frequency. Find out the cause and correct the problem before you install your next rope.

The causes. Unbalance often shows up in the middle of a rope system where you don’t expect it. It’s usually caused by “milking” of the rope – in other words, a lay change in the rope. The causes are many: swivels, small diameter sheaves, improper-sized or worn sheave grooves or sheave misalignment, to name a few. Standard 6-strand regular lay ropes are generally more resistant to unbalance than other ropes.

How to correct unbalance problems. There are several practices you can implement to minimize rope unbalance problems. These include: ELIMINATE SWIVELS AT DEAD ENDS. A swivel end termination will lengthen the lay in the rope when

WWW.TITANSUPPLY.CA

loaded, which can cause an unbalance in the rope. REMOVE WELDED ENDS OF ROPES. Where a rope has been torch cut, make sure the strands are free to adjust before the rope is clamped or seated in an end termination. However, this does not apply to Flex-X 35. Leave the welded ends on Flex-X 35

CROSS-SECTION VIEWS OF THREE SHEAVE GROOVE CONDITIONS.

LOOK FOR ANY SHEAVE MISALIGNMENT. Misalignment of sheaves in multi-part reevings and improperly aligned idler sheaves can also contribute to unbalance problems. ASSURE PROPER GROOVE CONTOURS. Use a groove gauge to inspect sheave and drum grooves for proper contour. If sheave grooves are too small or are worn deeper and narrower by an old rope, they’re too tight for new ropes. If grooves are too wide, the ropes tend to ﬂatten out and become oval-shaped. Any of these conditions can restrict strand movement and cause twist to build up in the rope.

Using a gauge, A is correct,B is too tight and C is too loose.

CONSIDER A 6-STRAND ROPE CONSTRUCTION. Standard 6-strand regular lay ropes are less susceptible to unbalance than other ropes . REMOVE ANY TWIST IN ROPE. See rope installation guidelines for details.

Crane Users Guide Block rotation: a very entangling problem.

lso called cabling, block rotation occurs when multipart reeving twists together at a certain height, entangling the parts of rope between the traveling block and boomtip. It can happen with little warning, making it virtually impossible ible to lif lift or lower a suspended load. Twisted hoist lines can bring a construction project to a sudden halt, resulting in downtime.

– Use larger diameter traveling block sheaves to increase the rope spacing. As the diameter of the traveling block sheave increases, the chances for block rotation are reduced. – Use the outer (farthest apart) sheaves – traveling block and boom. – Dead-end the rope at the boomtip to increase the spread between the wire rope parts.

But the good news is this. You can minimize block rotation through proper installation and handling, as well as take corrective measures THE KEY ISUNDERSTANDING TORQUE.

Every wire rope – regardless of type, classification, grade or manufacturer – will develop torque when loaded. Torque is normal and natural, caused by the way wire ropes are made. Wires are first laid together in a spiral to form strands, then several strands are laid together in a spiral to form the rope. When loaded, wires and strands try to straighten out, thus creating torque. Another source of torque is any change in the rope lay length. This is normally caused by “milking” or rotation at the end of the rope. USE THE SHORTEST FALL LENGTH POSSIBLE.

Torque in a rope affects the tendency of the traveling block to rotate. Thus, it’s important to minimize any torque. HOW TO HELP REDUCE BLOCK ROTATION.

There are at least seven different operating practices you can use to minimize block rotation on your crane. CHANGE THE RIGGING GEOMETRY. This

includes the following operating practices:

The length off ffall, or the distance from the pick point to the point sheaves, is critical. Longer ffall lengths are less stable and more likely to lead to block rotation. AVOID ODD-PART REEVING. An even number

of parts is more stable. USE TAGLINES ON LIFTS. Attach a tagline to restrain the load block and keep the load from rotating.

SUPERIOR PRODUCTS, EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

Crane Users Guide USE A DIFFERENT ROPE CONSTRUCTION.

Standard 6-strand ropes do not provide any rotation resistance. There are different levels of rotation resistance that can be obtained from specialty ropes. For maximum block stability use Starlif Starlift Xtra or XLT 4 . Both XLT 4 and Starlift Xtra ropes are also used in single part hoisting. There are other specialty ropes that provide some rotation resistance. Our Flex- 19 and 19 x 7 ropes are Category 2 Flex-X rotation-resistant ropes. Flex-X 19 is very resistant to crushing in multiple layer spooling and is frequently used in multipart hoisting applications.

The trapped unlaying causes twist in the rope, which leads to block rotation, erratic spooling, unbalancing and decreased rope service. Remove the swivel from the rope termination and follow steps to remove twist from the rope to optimize rope service. CHECK SHEAVE ALIGNMENT AND GROOVE SIZE. Improper sheave alignment or

groove size can â&#x20AC;&#x153;milkâ&#x20AC;? the lay in a rope and cause torque.

USE A SWIVEL ONLY WITH CATEGORY 1 ROPES. XLT 4 and Category 1 ropes, due

to their special design, may be used with a swivel. Other wire ropes should not be used with a swivel. With standard ropes, Category 2 (Flex-X 19 and 19 x 7) rotation-resistant rope and Category 3 (8 x 25) rotation-resistant rope, a swivel in an end termination will allow rotation in a direction that unlays the outer strands when the rope is loaded. This can cause a reduction in rope strength, unbalance in the rope and spooling problems. While the rope rotation only occurs between the swivel and the first sheave, the unlaid rope travels over the sheave as the load is lifted and introduces unlaying to the section of the rope beyond the sheave. This unlaying becomes trapped and will not come out of the rope when n the load is removed.

Crane Users Guide How to evaluate block stability due to rigging geometry.

ndustry testing has been conducted to help you assess the block stability of your rigging configuration and rope selection. The bands on this graph approximate the block stability for four types of wire ropes in multi-part systems:

– 6-strand, right regular lay lay, IWRC – Category 3 (8-strand, rotation-resistant) – Category 2 (19-strand, rotation-resistant) – Category 1 (Starlift (Starlif Xtra, rotationresistant) or XLT 4

Four independent variables are used in pairs to locate a reference point on the graph that indicates the stability of the lift being made. The ratios used include: L/S = Length of fall (ft) ÷ Spacing of the rope (ft) L = Length of fall measured from the centerline of the point sheave to the centerline of the traveling block sheave as shown in the diagram am

For 2-part reeving, S = average pitch diameter of point and block sheave For 3-part reeving, S = 2/3 of 2-part For 4-part reeving, S = diagonal distance of rope parts

The band for XLT4 and Category 1 rotationresistant ropes is based on torque values The bands for 6-strand, Category 2 and Category 3 rotation-resistant ropes were developed conducted by Wire Rope Technical Board and the Power Crane and Shovel Association

For 5-part reeving, S = 4/5 of 4-part For 6-part reeving, S = diagonal distance of rope parts For 7-part reeving, S = 6/7 of six-part system jointly conducted by Wire Rope Technical Board and the Power Crane and Shovel Association io When the reference point on the graph lies above the appropriate band, block rotation will probably occur. If the reference point lies below the band, then the lift will probably be stable without block rotation. If the point lies within the band, block b rotation is uncertain.
