WEAR SAFE® System
Technical equipment being deployed in tough conditions is invariably exposed to varying degrees of wear and tear.
That is perfectly normal and applies likewise to cranes, offshore and lifting appliances and their components.
Regular inspections by experts, classification societies or other institutions ensure the safety of the operation of your installation. The difficulty is to reliably assess the progress of groove wear of a rope sheave and to estimate whether further use of it is still possible without danger. For this purpose, complex measurements as well as their interpretation have to be carried out, which can only be performed by trained specialists.
Our WEAR SAFE® system offers considerable advantages, especially in assembly locations that are difficult to access or see, such as in hook blocks or on crane booms.
WEAR SAFE® System – THE WEAR DETECTION WITH THE RED DOT.
The patented WEAR SAFE® system consists of a wear body incorporated into the rope sheave groove.
Simply clean the rope groove location between the two marks on the outside of the rope sheave crown:
- A brief cleaning of this area immediately brings clarity: if the red wear body is still visible, the sheave can continue to be operated.
- If, on the other hand, the red wear body is no longer visible, the groove is already heavily worn and the sheave should be replaced in a timely manner.
Our WEAR SAFE® system offers considerable advantages, especially in assembly locations that are difficult to access or see, such as in hook blocks or on crane booms.
Advantages
- Simple visual inspection
- No specialized personnel required
- Fast detection of rope sheave discard maturity
- Ideal for hard to reach or visible installation locations such as in hook blocks
- Patented solution to close a critical safety gap
