Wire Rope Testing

The condition of a rope can not be assessed at first sight. A professional state analysis provides clarity as to whether the relevant rope can still be safely used. On the basis of the results obtained, it is possible to make statements about the durability of the rope.

Our services start with the production monitoring at the manufacturer, go through the determination of the characteristic values during stress tests in our house right up to the non-destructive testing of the ropes in their installed state on site.

By means of magneto-inductive cable testing (MI), a testing method developed and long-time used by DMT, also the internal condition of steel ropes can be tested for damage. In contrast to the purely visual inspection, also wire breaks within the ropes can be found.

We test moving and stationary cables and wire ropes:

• Hoisting cables
• Crane cables
• Cableway and cable car cables
• Bridge wire ropes
• Stay and anchoring wire ropes
• Offshore wire ropes
