Working Load Limit:

It is the responsibility of the ultimate user to determine a Working Load Limit for each application. Many factors should be considered: including among, but not limited to, loads applied, speed of operation, acceleration or deceleration, length of wire rope, shock loads, abrasion, corrosion, number, size, condition and location of drums and sheaves, facilities for inspection, and the danger to life and property should wire rope break. Wire Ropes must be stored, used, lubricated and maintained in accordance with normal safety standards; and must be properly designed, maintained, and operated. Inspect regularly. Do not kink, knot or crush.
