When was the last time you checked your lift's cables? If you answered "today," good for you! Cables are one of the things you should check before using your lift every day. In this article, we'll explore how to maintain your lift cables or "wire ropes," how to look for damage, and when to replace a cable.The better you take care of your cables, the longer they'll last. One of the best things you can do is keep your cables lubricated with 85W90 gear oil or ALMASOL® Wire Rope Lubricant. These lubricants get deep into the fibers to protect against wear and damage. Lubricate your cables every three months.Start by relaxing the rope to a stationary position and moving the pick-up points off the sheaves. Clean the surface of the rope with a cloth or wire brush so you can see any breaks. |
