Replacement Ropes for Wire Rope Hoists & Cranes
Wire ropes are prone to wear and tear over time, even when properly maintained. This leads them to be one of the most often replaced parts on wire rope hoists and cranes. Replacing your wire ropes when they become worn minimizes downtime, prioritizes employee safety and can maximize the lifespan of your hoist or crane.
Shupper-Brickle Equipment offers original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement wire ropes for all brands of hoists and overhead cranes. Replacing wire ropes can be a complicated task. You need to make sure you have the correct type, size, and length of wire rope and that it is properly installed. Contact us for questions on replacement wire ropes or call our Parts Department at (800) 642-7263.
Important Wire Rope Replacement Safety Tips
Please keep the following safety tips in mind when replacing the wire rope on your hoist or crane:
The wire rope on a hoist must be replaced with the same part number and the same brand as originally provided on the hoist.
For maximum safety, the wire rope must be replaced when even one strand of wire is broken. Refer to OSHA guidelines for construction (1926.1413) for more defined instances of deficiencies.
Broken strands may be detected by allowing the wire rope to pass through a gloved hand holding a rag. The broken strand will catch on the rag.
Important Wire Rope Ordering Information
When ordering a replacement wire rope for your hoist or crane please keep the following in mind:
Wire ropes are usually custom-cut to length and not returnable.
Lead times vary by the manufacturer from 3 days for a rush order to 2 weeks.
We recommend keeping extra wire ropes on hand to avoid down time.
Please note that information such as the length, diameter, and construction of wire ropes is proprietary and not disclosed by the manufacturer.
