Due to its unique characteristics, steel wire rope is one of the components with a high usage rate for electric hoists.

　　Compared with rigid components, steel wire ropes have the characteristics of high strength, light self weight, good flexibility, and impact resistance, especially their safety and reliability.

　　The safety technology of steel wire ropes involves various aspects such as the type, manufacturing method, structural performance, stress condition, maintenance, inspection, and scrapping of steel wire ropes. It is a highly specialized technology, and every safety management and technical personnel should have relevant knowledge of steel wire ropes. Under normal circumstances, the steel wire rope used in the electric hoist of the steel wire rope generally does not suddenly break, and even if the damage is premonitory, it usually starts from individual or local wire breakage and gradually develops to the entire rope, which has a period of time unless the entire rope suddenly breaks due to a load exceeding its extreme breaking force.

　　This provides a possibility that accidents caused by the steel wire ropes of electric hoists can be avoided as long as the safety management and use of the steel wire ropes are strengthened in daily life. However, the stress conditions of the steel wire rope of the electric hoist are variable and the working environment is complex. In addition to mechanical damage, its damage is related to improper structural selection, improper maintenance and inspection, and failure of the steel wire rope to be scrapped and updated in a timely manner.
