How it works
Plan Execute Record Report Review Work is planned for assets on the Safetrack PC either automatically or manually. Work orders are then downloaded to operators handheld computers. Each asset is uniquely identified with a tag. Handheld computer guides the operator through the work order, providing the location of each asset to perform a task on. Once a specific asset is scanned, the system directs the operator through a series of questions and instructions. Upload records from handhelds. Compile and review timely and accurate reports from the Safetrack system.

SLING ANGLES
Sling Angles When lifting with multi-leg slings, they are rated at a certain tonnage from 0 to 90 and this SWL should NOT be exceeded even if the angle is less than 90. When using single slings in pairs however, you must always be aware of the increased loadings in the slings when lifting at an angle.
0 30 60
90 120
For the above reason, the SWL of a pair of single slings decreases as the angle between them increases as shown below:
0 30 60 90
: : : :
SWL of one sling x 2 SWL of one sling x 2 x 0.966 SWL of one sling x 2 x 0.866 SWL of one sling x 2 x 0.707 SWL of one sling x 2 x 0.5
0 30 60 90
: : : :

Mode Factor (M) Always consider the variation in sling capacity when slinging in various configurations. 90 Max 90 Max

Multiply the SWL of one leg by the mode factor - M to obtain the SWL of the configuration. (The last four modes / ratings do not apply to round slings).

WIRE ROPES
12
CONSTRUCTION OF ROPES
Construction of Ropes Ropes can be in single (spiral wire ropes) and in multiple stranding (stranded ropes). A spiral wire rope consists of one or several layers of wires partly with right-hand lay, partly with left-hand lay, which are wound helically round a core wire. Their structure therefore resembles in principle that of a round strand. In general, the stranded rope consists of one or several layers of strands. The strands are helically wound round a core. This core can either be a fibre core or a core of stranded wires (steel core). In particular cases, the steel core is braided or jacketed. Cores are available in the following versions: Fibre cores (symbol FC): - natural fibre core (NFC) or - synthetic fibre core (SFC) Steel cores (symbol WC): - steel strand core (WSC) or - steel rope core (IWRC). The outer strands of a wire rope are usually stranded round the core in a separate operation, whereby crossings are informed in a steel core between the steel core and the outer strands.
d = diameter
Wrong measurement
Correct measurement
Direction of Lay The direction of lay (direction of turn) of a rope is the direction of the helical line of the outer strands. One distinguishes between ropes with right-hand lay (symbol Z) and ropes with left-hand lay (symbol S).
13
TYPES OF LAY
Types of Lay Long Lay The wires in the strands have the same direction of lay as the strands in the rope, Thus zZ or sS. Ordinary Lay The wires in the strands are laid in the opposite direction of lay as the strands in the rope, thus sZ or zS. If there are no special requirements, the wire ropes are delivered with; Ordinary lay, right sZ. Should a different direction of lay be required, please use the following specifications:
Important: For the use of right-hand lay ropes, the following rules apply for the position of the rope on the drum:
Upward rotation
Standard type of lay Ordinary lay, right EN-symbol sZ left-hand lay rope on right-hand drum
Downward rotation
Length of Lay The length of lay of a certain strand layer in a wire rope is the pitch of the helically laid strands of this layer.

Maintenance and Inspection The cable drive should be serviced and checked regularly. In many cases, the type of inspection is fixed by regulations, standards, and guidelines (e.g. DIN 15020, BO seil etc.). The type of inspection and the observations should be recorded in an inspection book (crane book, lift book). Maintenance and inspection include: lubrication as well as checking the ropes, end connections, pulleys, rollers and drums. Lubrication Lubricated ropes should be relubricated in order to reduce the inner and outer friction. Relubrication can either be made manually or by automatic lubrication equipment from time to time. Ropes running over rollers are best lubricated with oil. The oil should be applied to the bend of the rope over the rollers, because the grease penetrates best to the rope interior at these points. Ropes not running over rollers can also be relubricated with rope grease. Running ropes should be cleaned occasionally because residual grease hardened by dust prevents the penetration of the new grease into the inside of the rope. Fixed ropes can be protected against corrosion by grease or anticorrosive agents. With rubber-lined rollers, please make sure that the rubber is not destroyed by the grease. Checking the Rope for Wire Breakage, Wear and Tear and Corrosion The entire length of the rope should be checked periodically for wire breakage, wear and tear, corrosion, and deformation, especially the parts running over rollers and the end connections. The rope should be exchanged as soon as the prescribed number of admissible wire breakages, the admissible wear and tear, corrosion, working period, hauling output, etc. is reached. Checking the End Connections Spliced end connections should be checked DIAGRAM for wire breakage and possible slipping of the insert strands. Casted rope ends should be checked from time to time for wire breakages and corrosion close to their exit from cast metal. As soon as wire breakages or corrosion appear, the end must be cut off and the casting renewed. For certain operations, the operating specifications (e.g. BO Seil at cableways) determine that the cast heads must be periodically cut off and renewed by new casting.
Detachable end connections (thimbles, rope clip etc.) must be checked for wire breakages and possible slipping. Operating specifications may also specify here that the clip connections are to be renewed at certain intervals. Pressed connections must be checked for wire breakages, cracks in the pressed sleeves and possible rope slipping. Checking the Drums and Rollers, as well as Checking the Position of the Rope on Drums and Rollers The rollers must turn easily in their bearings. Stiff or sluggish rollers lead to uncontrollable tensile powers which can reach the ropes breaking force. Moreover they increase the wear and tear of the rollers and the rope. The operational reliability of the ropes can be judged according to the following criteria: - type and number of wire breakages - position of wire breakages - time sequence of the occurrence of wire breakages - reduction of the wire rope diameter during the service life - corrosion - abrasion - rope deformation - influence of heat - service life The point of replacement of the wire rope is described in greater detail in DIN 15020 leaf 2. Maintenance, inspection and point of replacement are described in DIN 15020 leaf 2 and VDI 2358. Please also observe the regulations of local authorities or trade associations. They will also comment on rope damage and its possible cause.

CRANE AND FORK ATTACHMENTS Rope & Sling Specialists can offer a wider range of attachments to suit cranes, forklift trucks & telehandlers. The range includes but is not limited to the products shown below:
UNIVERSAL ACCESS PLATFORM For a maximum of 2 persons and their tools. Net load 250kg, width 1140mm, length 1200mm, suitable for use with forklift truck or crane. Equipped as standard, with practical tool tray, four crane lugs (no chain) and entrance door on side. Built in conformance with the official labour safety regulations.
CIRCULAR MUCK SKIP The traditional skip used for muck and waste removal. Fitted with two safety catches. When the safety catches are disengaged by hand the skip will empty automatically in response to the centre of gravity of the bale arm.
SKIP LIFTING CRADLE Designed as a safe method of lifting 6 and 8 yard builders skips, on site. The skip is lifted at the base rather than using the lifting lugs which may not be tested. Complete cradle tested to SWL 12 tonnes.
FORKLIFTABLE ACCESS PLATFORM Fork mounted access platforms are a proven and safe method for which to carry out routine maintenance, inspection and stock-taking.
38
BLOCK GRAB Specially designed scissor grab to lift palletised blocks and bricks (note: materials must be securely bound). Suitable for handling all types of concrete products such as slabs, steel strapped bricks, blocks, kerb stones and paving blocks. Fitted with an automatic open/close device that enables a single operator to stack or unstack palletised bound loads. Lined with hard rubber pads to minimise damage to load.
SELF-LEVELLING CRANE FORKS Designed for crane lifting of brick packs and pallets, with adjustable forks. These forks have the advantage of a spring loaded lifting eye which automatically adjusts to compensate for the different weights carried. This ensures that the crane fork stays level, both when empty or full. Fitted with frame to allow attachment of a safety net.
FORK MOUNTED EXTENDING JIB Fork mounted Extending Jibs are specifically designed to convert a forklift truck into a long reach mobile crane. Allowing considerable flexibility to reach and transport particularly long and awkward loads
These attachments allow for safe, fast and reliable movement of goods on site.

HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT
Rope & Sling Specialists Ltd offer a comprehensive range of hydraulic equipment to aid with lifting & pulling heavy loads. Our range includes Hydraulic Jacks, Manual & Power Driven Pumps, Cylinders, Spreader Wedges and many more. We can offer advice on planning the lift and what equipment would best be suited. Below is just a small proportion of the kit we have available. Please contact us for further information or advice. MANUAL AND FOOT PUMPS EPP hand pumps are very light- weight and on some models their weight is over 50% less when compared to traditional products. EPP hand pumps deliver exceptional volumes of oil per stroke and require very low handle effort even at maximum working pressure. They are made from light alloy metal normally used in the aviation industry and have excellent durability and mechanical resistance. PL pumps can work vertically with the pumping head pointing downward. PL LIGHTWEIGHT HAND PUMPS - 700 BAR Reservoir Capacity: Oil Delivery per Stroke in HP: Max Pressure: 0,7-8,0 l 1,0-3,4 cm3 700bar
