In addition to performing all the frequent inspections listed under
FREQUENT INSPECTION on Figure 4, visual observations
should be conducted during regular service for any damage.
Any deficiencies shall be carefully examined and determination
made as to whether they constitute a hazard as follows:
a. Check all functional operating mechanisms for
maladjustment interfering with proper operation.
b. Check all hooks and latches for deformation, chemical
damage, cracks and wear.
c. Check all hook latches for proper attachment and
operation.
d. Check levers for bends, cracks or other damage.
e. Check for damage to the support for the hoist.
f. Check cable at the start of each shift for abrasive wear
and damaged strands.
Wire Rope Inspection
Frequent inspections shall be performed by an appointed
person. This inspection shall cover the entire length of the
cable. If any of the following damage is discovered, the cable
should be removed from service. Special care should be taken
when inspecting sections for rapid deterioration, such as the
following:
a. Check for distortion of the cable such as kinking, crushing,
unstranding, birdcaging, main strand displacement or core
protrusion.
b. Check for general corrosion, broken or cut strands.
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
In addition to performing all the periodic inspections listed
under PERIODIC INSPECTION on Figure 4, the following
should be conducted:
a. A designated person shall determine whether
conditions found during inspection constitute a hazard
and whether disassembly is required.
b. Check fasteners for evidence of loosening.
c. Check cable, suspension frame, levers, yokes,
shafts, pins, rollers and locking and clamping devices
for evidence of wear, corrosion, cracks and distortion.
Wire Rope Inspection
Periodic inspections shall be performed by an appointed
person. This inspection shall cover the entire length of the
cable. Special care should be taken when inspecting sections
for rapid deterioration, such as the following:
a. Sections in contact with saddles, equalizer sheaves, or
other sheaves where cable travel is limited.
b. Sections at or near terminal ends
where broken strands may be evident.
c. Sections subject to reverse bends.
d. Sections that are normally hidden during visual
inspection, such as sections passing over sheaves.
