4.4 FITTINGS
Use only aluminum Talurit wire rope clamps or Deka wire rope clamps (see Figure 4.6) with a
minimum of three clamps spaced approximately 8cm apart.
Figure 4.6
DO NOT USE “U” type clamps as illustrated in Figure 4.7. They cause crushing of wires and reduction
in strength of the wire rope.
Figure 4.7
Always use a 9mm heavy duty thimble and a 5/8” screw pin shackle to avoid permanent damage and to
retain full strength in the wire rope for use on future jobs. Insulated thimbles are available for rigging
platforms which are to be used for welding.
Braze both ends of wire rope. See Figure 4.1
WARNING: Always check rigging and wire rope clamps before each work shift.
4.5 SKY CLIMBER WIRE-WINDER
The single or dual drum motorised Wire-Winder is available as an accessory item. The Wire-Winder is
intended for special applications where the tail line cannot hang free. Secure the Wire-Winder on the
platform end stirrup or walkthrough stirrup. Position to allow a smooth passage of the wire rope through
the conduit to the departure guide of the hoist. Continually observe Wire-Winder during operation to
assure that wire rope lays properly and does not kink.
CAUTION
: To alert operators they are nearing end of rope, the last 5m should be marked with bright
red or yellow paint.
WARNING: Make certain that sufficient rope is used in Wire-Winder to avoid running off
rope end.
