TY - JOUR AB - WIRE ropes are found in almost every industry. Short lengths are used on many fork lift trucks, cranes, and other hoisting machinery, long lengths, up to several miles, are used for aerial ropeways, in collieries, and on many kinds of hoisting and transporting equipment. In many cases long aerial ropeways provide the only means of transport across water, deserts, bogs and even mountains. They are costly to buy and replace and their breakdown can cause serious loss of production in addition to possible injury to personnel.
