Wire Rope Cleaning & Lubrication

Wire Rope is a critical rigging component with many parts that move and integrate with each other. The maintenance and inspection requirements of this machine is simply too important to be left to untrained workers. It is on record that the greater number of crane related accidents occur due to some form of wire rope damage caused by poor inspection and lubrication methods.

At our business, we make it a priority to ensure that inspection and maintenance for this critical equipment is met following only the highest local and international regulatory standards and performed using highly trained personnel.

To this end, we employ the use of lubricating machines that penetrate and deliver specialty lubricants with light weight and balanced concentration to the core member of the rope and not only over the outer wires that more frequently results with low pressure or manual application. This results in excellent corrosion protection, extended service life and relubrication intervals for your ropes.

Common methods of application of wire rope lubricant in industry today more often result in loss and wastage of expensive lubricant which can end up in marine ecosystems or comingled with other waste matter with resulting difficulty in effective disposal or harm to the environment.

Our use of the high pressure, high penetration tool ensures the maximum use of lubricant with no loss to the environment. In-addition, use of this lubrication method provides impressive cleaning results and lubricates wire ropes quickly, efficiently and safely in a single pass. Ropes from 6mm (15/64”) to 165mm (6-1/2”) in diameter can be greased at up to 2000 meters/hour.

Incorporating high strength and light-weight aluminum alloy material ensures that this tool can be safely operated by one person. Our technicians are trained to use this tool effectively with no loss of lubricant and protection to the environment.

The results will be improved life for your in-service ropes with as much as a 6-12 months extension in service life, greater cost savings on service personnel and as much as a 30% reduction in replacement costs!

Why not try us today to gain those cost savings you always wanted. We stand ready to improve your rope’s reliability.
