TEUFELBERGER contributes essential insights to the development of the FEM 5.024 Guideline for the "Safe Use of High Performance Fiber Ropes in Mobile Crane Applications".
The FEM 5.024 Guideline is the first-ever published official guideline worldwide providing guidance for the design, use, operation, and testing of high performance fiber crane ropes. |
|
TEUFELBERGER and LIEBHERR, development partners for many years and, thanks to the soLITE® high strength fiber rope for cranes, global technology leaders in this sector, contributed their vast expertise regarding the necessary product and acceptance tests.
The insights which TEUFELBERGER obtained during the development of its soLITE® fiber rope with respect to the limitations of the use of fiber ropes on cranes such as safety factor, life span to point of discard, and the tests that need to be conducted before a rope can be used, formed the basis for drafting the FEM 5.024 Guideline. LIEBHERR also contributed its results from numerous in-depth crane tests.
For Christof Gstrein, TEUFELBERGER's product manager for soLITE®, the publication of the FEM Guideline marks an important step forward: "This is a milestone and an important basis for the use of fiber ropes on cranes".
