Wire Rope Service is excited to announce the first and only ROPE TORSION MEASURING SYSTEM in existence in North America. Wire rope torsion can be caused by improper alignment of lift stations and towers and can dramatically reduce the lifespan of wire ropes, grips and sheaves. WRS’s rope torsion measurement system includes a fully computerized rotary sensor that is installed quickly and easily on any haul rope and measures the rotation of entire rope length. WRS is uniquely qualified to detect, assess, localize and improve misaligned problem areas along the entire lift line. This results in a longer lifespan of the wire rope, the grips and the sheaves.

ROPE CLEANING

​

WRS provides state of the art wire ROPE CLEANING. Our rope cleaning unit clears excess grease, grit and debris from the surface of the rope as well as from the tight spaces in between the strands. WRS’s cleaning equipment and methodologies are far superior to older systems and guarantee more accurate visual rope inspections. In addition, with proper cleaning and the addition of new lubrication the entire wire rope has a longer life span.
