The most important inspection and control for any purpose and whatever type of crane is used is the control of the steel ropes. For the safe operation of the cranes, it is necessary to carry out regular inspection and maintenance of all load bearing steel ropes and connections. The lifespan of steel ropes is affected by many reasons caused by wear, metal fatigue, corrosion, bending, bending and improper handling during intensive use.

If the steel ropes are corroded, or if the wires are severely damaged, such as breaking, opening, bending, or excessive wear, the steel ropes must no longer be used. If there are broken wires, they should be cut and if the number of broken wires is dangerous for safety, steel rope should be replaced. In addition, if the diameter changes due to overloading of the rope, this must also be taken into account and the steel rope replaced if necessary. If there is a risk of corrosion on the rope, the internal structure of the rope must also be taken into account. The limit numbers of broken wires for the retrieval of the steel rope are shown in the relevant standards according to the rope diameter.

In addition, in order to prevent potential hazards and to protect the safety of employees in the event of an accident, periodical inspections of sling and steel ropes must be carried out at least once a year in accordance with the legal regulations mentioned. These checks must be performed by mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians.

In order to prevent possible risks and to create a safe work environment, it is imperative to comply with these regulations issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.
