LANKHORST SNEEK: INNOVATION WITH TRADITION... 

The roots of Lankhorst reach back over 250 

years. Established in 1751 as a ropery and 

sailmaker’s loft in Sneek in The Netherlands, 

the company became known as “Lankhorst” 

after Nikolaas Jurgen Lankhorst took over the 

company from his in-laws in 1803. During the 

19th and 20th centuries, Lankhorst grew from 

a local artisan business into a world-wide 

supplier of rope and ships mooring lines. These 

activities still form our core business - 

Lankhorst Ropes is the largest company within 

the Lankhorst group, and a world leading rope 

manufacturer. 

After several years of working within a 

strategic alliance with the Portuguese rope 

and netting producer, Grupo Euronete SGPSA, 

Lankhorst and Grupo Euronete merged into 

the Lankhorst Euronete Group. This group 

holds a leading position in many international 

markets. In addition to maritime and offshore 

ropes Lankhorst is now the largest producer of 

fi sh netting in the world, and one of Europe’s 

market leaders in plastics recycling. Through 

innovation and product development, we have 

also built strong market positions in industrial 

yarns, pure® composites products, and the 

yachting and agriculture markets. 

Today Lankhorst continues to lead through 

World Class research and development into 

high performance materials and products. This 

enables us to work with our customers in 

overcoming the many commercial and 

engineering challenges they face in 

responding successfully to the demands of a 

competitive global business environment.

PREFACE TO THE NEW CATALOGUE 

LANKO®TECH 

A load bearing rope core made from Technora Aramid Yarns. These yarns have an 

extremely high melting point, above 500°Celcius. Combined with the high strength 

of these Technora yarns, this product has been designed to be used as “fi re wires”. Like 

anyone else, we wish these will never be used for its purpose, we have recognized that 

at almost every mooring, these fi re wires have to be hanged off the sea side of the ship. 

Heavy steel wire ropes are diffi cult to handle, both for the crew that has to hang off these 

ropes, as well as for the eventually rescue response people for picking up the wires. 

The ropes are covered with a heavy duty polyester jacket; a durable protection against 

sunlight and abrasion during the many years of storage and hanging off the ships side. 

Longitudinal marking on STRONGLINE 

When STRONGLINE is installed on a towing winch, twists in the rope induced 

during installation could reduce the life time of the rope once put to work. It is crucial to 

use a turning table for unwinding from a coil. To facilitate the installation with respect to 

avoiding induced twists, a longitudinal marking has been made to the STRONGLINE 

from the factory. Please make sure the longitudinal marking line is always on the same 

position while winding up the STRONGLINE on your towing winch. 

Please see the video instruction on splicing our STRONGLINE on our website. 



CI-4 

New A3 splice 

STRONGLINE with our A3 splice is being used allready in the market by several 

tugboats performing harbor assistances for a longer period now. The response is 

outright positive as the rope ending is lighter, remains fl exible and most of all 

requires hardly any maintenance. 

Lankhorst is in the fi nal stages of developing the A3 splice for the 

TIPTO®WINCHLINE. Although the TIPTO®WINCHLINE is mainly used for mooring of 

vessels, the unique properties of the A3 splice will benefi t the ease of handling in 

the same manner. Reducing the weight of the rope ending signifi cantly, retaining 

the ropes fl exibility throughout the eye and the higher strength in this new splicing 

concept, contribute to signifi cant cost savings for the end user. 

Lankhorst Ropes has been granted a patent for the A3 splice at number 2003939, 

14 June 2011. 

Please contact our salesmen for further information, we will be happy to update you. 

Improved identifi cation of our ropes 

The identifi cation of our ropes has been approved. We have been applying an unique code to all 

our high performance ropes on a tracer inside the rope for many years. However, this tracer is not 

always easy to fi nd in a rope that is still in good condition. We have therefore repeated the unique 

code on a red sleeve in each eye. This code will also be mentioned on the factory certifi cates. In 

this way, the ropes in use and the corresponding certifi cate on board should be undisputed. Our 

factories commenced this system since the summer of 2009. 

Since 2009 our synthetic ropes are supplied with an outside label with a warning about safe 

lifting of the products.

High performance ropes TIPTO®EIGHT 

The well known highperformance 

mooring 

rope. Its strength, abrasion 

resistance and energy 

absorption ensure a long 

life-time and economical 

purchase. The small 

diameter and low weight 

make the handling on 

board easier. 

As TIPTO®EIGHT is floating, 

the risk of getting the 

rope into the ship and 

tug propeller is minimal, 

avoiding costly downtime.

High performance ropes TIPTO®TWELVE 

TIPTO®TWELVE, available in 

the diameter range of 16 mm 

till 48 mm, is the successor of 

the well-known TIPTO®EIGHT. 

The construction is different, 

the material remains 

the same. The 12-strand 

braided construction makes 

the rope rounder, more 

stable, more compact and 

more regular on the surface. 

This increases the abrasion 

resistance and the life-time 

of the rope even more. 

TIPTO®TWELVE can be used 

for mooring, using either 

bollards and/or winches. 

All TIPTO®TWELVE coils 

will be fitted with a quality 

label, stating “Original 

product of Lankhorst Ropes”. 

TIPTO®TWELVE ropes in the 

range from 32 mm up to 48 

mm have been upgraded 

with an extra marker yarn. 

The rope size can now easily 

(and above all) without 

mistake be identified. 

Green = 32 mm 

Brown = 36 mm 

Black = 40 mm

High performance ropes TIPTO®WINCHLINE 

A dedicated floating 

winchline, developed 

especially to be used 

on single drum, selftensioning 

winches. The 

load-bearing 7-strand 

core combines high 

strength and relative low 

elongation. The non loadbearing 

braided jacket 

provides protection to 

the core (longer life-time) 

and increases crew-safety 

by minimizing the risk of 

snap-back. The smooth 

operation of the vessel is 

increased by the ease of 

handling of the rope due 

to its low weight and the 

floating characteristic of 

the rope. 

TIPTO®WINCHLINE does 

not lose strength when 

wet!

Diameter, weight and MBF (as well as other mechanical and physical properties) are determined according 

ISO 2307:2005. The MBF refers to the breaking strength in the rope/wire itself, without splices or any other 

form of termination that can be formed with or without the use of accessories/fi ttings.

FIBRE ROPES 

High performance ropes EUROFLEX® MOORING TAIL 

Mooring tail to provide 

shock/energy absorbing 

within the mooring 

system. The EUROFLEX® 

Mooring Tails surpass 

the nylon tails in quality, 

the energy absorption is 

better, the rope remains 

elastic for a longer time 

and the rope does not 

lose a large portion of 

its dry MBF when it is 

wet. As the strength 

is higher than that of 

nylon, a smaller diameter 

of rope can be used, 

providing better handling. 

Made of polyester and 

polypropylene composite 

yarns, the standard length 

produced is 11m Effective 

Working Length, with 2 

protected eyes of 2,0m 

and 1,0m respectively. 


OCIMF recommends 

mooring tails with a MBF of 

125% related to the steel 

wire rope mooring line. 

EUROFLEX® MOORING 

TAILS have equal breaking 

strength under wet and dry 

conditions

FIBRE ROPES 

High performance ropes LANKO®FORCE R-9 

12 strand braided rope, made of Dyneema® yarns. This rope forms 

an excellent alternative for heavy and lumbersome steelwire 

ropes in situations requiring manual handling of the rope. The 

strength is higher than that of conventional steelwire rope and 

the corresponding weight is 7 times lower! The better handling 

characteristics are especially appreciated in towing and mooring 

applications. This rope is floating! When replacing fibre rope the 

reduction in diameter can lead to substantial saving of weight and 

size of e.g. the mooring winches, and when incorporated in the 

design of the vessel at newbuilding to a saving of cost as well.

High performance ropes LANKO®FORCE with TIPTO® jacket 





The presented data is with 

a TIPTO®jacket. This is a 

durable jacket with excellent 

abrasion characteristics 

and is advised to be used 

for those applications 

where the load bearing 

core members needs to be 

protected against external 

heat built up and / or 

abrasion. This jacket has 

a specific gravity smaller 

than 1, which will keep the 

rope afloat. Applications: 

mooring, towing, salvage, 

iceberg towing and lifting.

High performance ropes LANKO®TECH 

Technora aramid ropes 

have been engineered for 

applications where light 

weight, high strength and 

good abrasion resistance 

are important. These 

ropes are manufactured 

in a 12 strand braided 

construction with an 

overall jacket of polyester. 

Typical applications 

where LANKO®TECH 

should be considered are 

fire wires for tankers, due 

to the high melting point 

of the load bearing core. 

Other applications are 

winch lines, lifting lines, 

mooring lines and towed 

arrays. Terminations 

include hand splices and 

spike terminations.

Diameter, weight and MBF (as well as other mechanical and physical properties) 

are determined according ISO 2307:2005. The MBF refers to the breaking strength 

in the rope/wire itself, without splices or any other form of termination that can be 

formed with or without the use of accessories/fi ttings.

When STRONGLINE is installed on a towing 

winch, twists in the rope induced during 

installation could reduce the life time of the rope 

once put to work. It is crucial to use a turning 

table for unwinding from a coil. To facilitate the 

installation with respect to avoiding induced 

twists, a longitudinal marking has been made to 

the STRONGLINE from the factory. Please make 

sure the longitudinal marking line is 

always on the same position while winding up 

the STRONGLINE on your towing winch.

STRONGLINE rope has a construction consisting of a 

parallel core with a braided protective cover. The parallel 

core results in a very high strength compared to the 

diameter and material. The protective cover ensures a long 

life-time of the rope due to its excellent resistance against 

abrasion. Regular maintenance can lengthen the life-time 

even more. The main application of this rope will be towing 

and mooring.

EUROFLEX® 3-strand, 

although comparable 

to nylon in strength, 

offers some essential 

advantages. As the 

material is not influenced 

by either water or UV 

radiation, the rope 

remains flexible, and 

keeps its softness to the 

touch. The rope does 

not lose strength when 

becoming wet. 

3 strand rope, made of the 

well known TIPTO® yarn, 

giving the rope added 

strength and life-time.

LANKHORST ROPES DEFENDER® 

TIPTO®WEB HAWSER PROTECTION SLEEVES 

Hawser protection sleeve, easy to apply where 

and when you need it. The use of this protection 

sleeve will drastically improve the life-time of any 

of your mooring ropes. The TIPTO®WEB sleeve 

can be easily wrapped around the hawser at the 

exact spot where it is needed. 

The TIPTO®WEB sleeves are finished with a 

protective seam all around, two large Velcro 

strips enable the sleeves to be applied easily and 

to accommodate different diameters of hawser, 

two eyelets, one on either side, enable the crew 

to secure the sleeve in the right position on the 

hawser. The standard length is 3 meter. 



A High Performance Protection Sleeve for 

permanent fixing on a hawser, towing line 

or pennant. The braided strands offer a high 

abrasion resistance. The sleeve is made in a 

hollow braid, the sleeve can therefore easily be 

adjusted to the circumferential size of the rope to 

be protected. The DEFENDER® can be made from 

different types of yarns, offering extra strength, 

floatability and other characteristics. Please 

consult our sales staff for the optimal product in 

your application.

Non Rotating LANKO®LIFT COMPACTED 

Multi strand, non-rotating, 

hoisting wire rope. 

The special feature of 

LANKO®LIFT is that in the 

production process the core 

is covered by an especially 

designed HDPE extruded 

cover. This gives the wire 

rope stability, avoids point 

to point contact between 

wires of the outer and inner 

strands and stops corrosion 

and wear of the core. When 

the high breaking strength 

is added, this hoisting wire 

rope really is top quality.

luffing wire rope. The 

special feature of 

LANKO®TOP compacted 

is that in the production 

process the core is 

covered by an especially 

designed HDPE extruded 

cover. This gives the wire 

rope stability, avoids point 

to point contact between 

wires of the outer and 

inner strands and stops 

corrosion and wear of 

the core. Compacting the 

wire rope provides more 

strength, due to higher 

steel content, and better 

abrasion resistance due 

to larger area of contact 

between wire rope and 

sheave.

GROOVES IN SHEAVES 

Apart from the sheave diameter, the lifetime of a rope also depends on the design and dimensions of the groove. If the 

groove is too narrow, the rope gets wedged in it, the strands and wires cannot move as is required for bending, and this 

condition is detrimental to the life time of the rope. On the other hand, too wide a groove also has an adverse effect on 

rope life time due to the high surface pressure between rope and sheave. 

The adjacent graph clearly shows that a radius 5% larger than half the rope diameter will give the longest service life of 

the rope. For traction sheaves the radius of the groove is usually adapted as closely as possible to the radius of the rope 

to obtain maximum traction. The rope is supported in the best possible manner if the arc of contact with the groove 

contour can be 150 deg. This corresponds to a throat angle of 30 degrees. However, with a large fleet angle or with 

oscillating loads, the throat angle should be larger (till 60 degrees) to avoid undue wear of the rope and sheave flanges. 

The height of the flanges should be at least 1,5 times the rope diameter to prevent the rope running off the sheave. 

The rope and groove are inevitably subject to wear during operation. Since the diameter of a rope becomes smaller due 

to abrasion and stretch, it will wear out the groove to the smaller diameter of the worn rope. If a new rope is laid in such a 

worn groove, it will get wedged in the narrow groove and this will have a very adverse effect on its life. It is also possible 

that the rope cuts its profile into the groove. Therefore the grooves should be inspected before installing a new rope and 

if necessary they must be re-machined, preferably with a profile cutting tool. If a groove shows excessive wear, this may 

be an indication that the sheave material is too soft. In this case a sheave of a harder grade steel must be used which 

better resists the abrasive effect of the rope, or a larger diameter sheave should be taken.

INFORMATION 



FLEET ANGLE 

When ropes are wound on drums, attention must be paid to the fleet angle, that is the included angle between the rope 

running to or from the extreme left or right of the drum and an imaginary line drawn from the centre of the sheave 

normal to the axis of the drum. When this angle is too large, the rope in this extreme position will be pressed with great 

force against the flange of the sheave which causes undue friction and wear of both the rope and travel too fast from the 

side to the centre of the drum thereby leaving gaps between the wraps. When winding a second layer, the rope is forced 

into these gaps which results in serious deterioration. When, on the other hand, the rope is wound past the centre of the 

drum, a too large fleet angle will cause the next wrap to scrub against the preceding wrap as the rope runs more towards 

the side of the drum. 

If the fleet angle is too small, the rope does not travel fast enough towards the centre of the drum and, apart from 

scrubbing, at a certain moment the wraps will pile up i.e. the next wrap is laid on top of the preceding one and is then 

pressed to the side of the preceding wrap with great force. This has a detrimental effect on the rope and the equipment 

on which it is used (shock loads). 

For plain faced drums a maximum fleet angle of 1½ degree is recommended. For grooved drums this figure is 2 degrees 

maximum. In terms of length these figures correspond to a minimum distance between sheave and drum of 40 x ‘a’ 

(a= half the drum width) for faced drums and minimum 30 x ‘a’ for grooved drums (approximate values). Hence, for a 

grooved drum, 1 metre in width, the distance between sheave and drum should be 30 x ‘a’ = 15 metres minimum, or 

conversely, if the distance between drum and sheave is 7 metres, the maximum drum width should be (7:30) x 2 = approx. 

47cm. 

In case two sheaves are not in line, 

attention must be paid to the fleet 

angle. Depending on the construction a 

maximum fleet angle is given: 

- special non rotating (35x7) : 1½ degree 

- special multi strand 

(8,9 and 10 strands) : 2 degrees 

- 6 strand rope : 3 degrees 

These values are approximate and based 

on a throat angle of 45 degrees.

INFORMATION 



INSTALLATION FROM REEL TO DRUM 

Installation of a wire rope on a plain (smooth) face drum requires a great deal of care. The starting position should be 

at the correct drum flange so that each wrap of the rope will wind tightly against the preceding wrap (see figure). Here 

too, close supervision should be maintained all during installation. This will help make certain that: 

1) the rope is properly attached to the drum; 

2) appropriate tension on the rope is maintained as it is wound to the drum; 

3) each wrap is guided as close to the preceding wrap as possible, so that there are no gaps between turns; 

4) and that there are at least two dead wraps on the drum when the rope is fully unwound during normal 

operating cycles. 

Loose and uneven winding on a plain – (smooth) – faced drum, can and usually does create excessive wear, crushing 

and distortion of the rope. The results of such abuse are lower operating performance, and a reduction in the rope’s 

effective strength. Also, for an operation that is sensitive in terms of moving and spotting a load, the operator will 

encounter control difficulties as the rope will pile up, pull into the pile and fall from the pile to the drum surface. The 

ensuing shock can break or otherwise damage the rope. 

The proper direction of winding the first layer on a smooth drum can be determined by standing behind the drum 

and looking along the path of the rope travels, and then following one of the procedures illustrated in next figure. The 

diagrams show: the correct relationship that should be maintained between the direction of lay of the rope (right of 

left), the direction of rotation of the drum (over wind or under wind), winding from left to right or right to left. 

By holding the right or left hand with index finger extended, palm up or palm down, the proper procedure for 

applying left and right lay rope on a smooth drum can be easily determined.

SPLICE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIPTO®WINCHLINE 

THE TOOLS YOU WILL NEED 

Sharp knife, tape, marker pen and ruler (tape measure), 

polyester seizing thread (hollow braid), 5 mm diameter for 

ropes up to 5” circ., 6 mm dia for larger sizes, large needle. 

DESCRIPTION 

This splice is made in a 7-strand rope with a cover-braided 

jacket. The jacket has to be removed in two places. 

Start with marking the rope. The first mark should be placed at 

the end of the rope measuring back upwards for 45 times the 

diameter, place a mark here. Then mark the length of the eye, 

this part will stay on, and finally mark the splicing area, 

which should cover a length of 35 times the diameter of the 

rope. 

Make sure the core is not damaged when removing the jacket. 

Strip the jacket of the first marked area of the outer cover 

(length approx. 45-times rope diameter) to expose the 7 strand 

core. Tape each of the 7-strands to keep yarns together. 

The part of the jacket covering the eye should remain in tacked. 

Now strip the jacket of the splicing area (length approx. 35 

times the rope diameter). Bend the rope to form the eye and 

use tape or a whipping to keep the two rope parts 

together at the start point of the splice. 

Read more on I-7 about starting the splice.

INFORMATION 

Starting the splice of TIPTO®WINCHLINE 

First strand tuck 

For the fi rst tuck use strand 1, being closed to the running part and which does not disturb 

the rope construction. Tuck this strand under 3 strands (A,B,C) WITH the lay of the rope 

(right hand lay). 

Second strand tuck 

Use strand no. 2 and tuck this one under two strands (A and B) WITH the lay of the rope. 

Third strand tuck 

Strand no. 3 has to be tucked under strand (A) WITH the lay of the rope. 

The core is now released. 

Fourth strand tuck 

Strand no. 4 together with the core is tucked under one strand (F) WITH the lay of the rope. 

Fifth strand tuck 

Strand no. 5 is tucked under the following strand of the rope (E), WITH the lay of the rope. 

Sixth strand tuck 

Strand no. 6 is tucked under the remaining strand (D) WITH the lay of the cable. 

Second till eighth series of tucks 

Every strand (starting with strand one) is tucked over one strand AGAINST the lay and 

under two strands WITH the lay of the cable. The core is cut after the third tuck. 

THE SPLICE IS NOW COMPLETE. 

COVERING THE SPLICE 

First start with securing the jacket to the core. Stitch a large needle with thread through 

the jacket and core. The ends of the thread must be tucked back into the splice. Do this at 

both ends of the formed eye as well as the start of the jacket after the splice. Ensure that at 

least 3 full tucks are made. 

Now cover the splicing area with a whipping. Sometimes it is easier to fi rst cover the 

splicing area with tape before starting with the whipping. 

THE ROPE IS NOW READY FOR USE.

INFORMATION 



SPLICE INSTRUCTIONS 8 STRAND PLAITED ROPES 

Determination of splice length 

5 full braid length are required for the splice. 

Form the eye and seize the end of the rope to the main body on the 6th full braid length. 

Final preparation 

An 8 strand rope consists out of 4 left hand lay (S) and 4 right hand lay (Z) strands. Always 

keep the left (S) and right hand lay (Z) strands apart (S) by (S) and (Z). Tape each individual 

strand at the end in order to avoid untwisting. Then unlay the strands up to the point 

where the eye is formed and where the seizing is placed. 

Starting the splice 

Tuck two S-lay strands under two Z-lay strands of the body of the splice; 

Tuck the first Z-lay strand under the two preceding Z-lay strands of the body. Tuck the 

second Z-lay strand only under the first Z-lay strand; 

Tuck the third S-lay strand under the first S-lay strand of the body and tuck the 4th 

S-lay strand under the next S-lay strand of the body; 

The third Z-lay strand is tucked under the outer Z-lay strand of the body and the fourth 

Z-lay strand is tucked under the inner Z-lay strand of the body; 

We are back to the first two S-lay strands. Tuck the first S-lay strand under the 

outer S-lay strand of the body and tuck the second S-lay strand under the inner S-lay 

strand of the body. 

All strands have now been tucked into the right position. Make sure that S-lay strands are 

tucked under S-lay strands of the body and that Z-lay strands are tucked under the 

Z-lay strands of the body; 

Continue with tucking two S-lay strands under S-lay strands and two Z-lay strands under 

Z-lay strands of the body; 

Turn the rope and continue by tucking two S under S and two Z under Z; 

Continue until all strands are tucked 5 times. 

To finalise; tuck the first S-lay strand under first S-lay strand of the body and the second 

S-lay strand under the second S-lay strand of the body. 

Do the same with the first two Z-lay strands. 

Turn the rope and repeat the steps with the remaining strands. 

Seize the out sticking strands in pairs and cut of the over length. 

THE SPLICE IS NOW COMPLETE!

RECOMMENDATIONS ON TOWING LINES 

A few recommendations for the installation of synthetic towing 

lines on a winch. 

Sufficient turns on the drum. The load on the towing line 

should not be transferred to the fixing point of the dead end 

of the rope on the drum. Depending the friction coefficient, 

a minimum number of turns will be required on the drum. 

For Lankoforce ropes (HMPE) the minimum is 10 full turns, 

on Euroflex and Strongline (polyester based) a minimum of 6 

should be respected. 

Back tensioning. The first time the rope is being spooled 

on the drum, this must be done with back tensioning on the 

rope. A load of 5-10% of the MBF should be sufficient. This will 

prevent slipping of the rope (due to elongation properties in 

the rope) and it will prevent the rope to burry into lower layers 

on the drum. (See picture 1) 

Twist in the rope. Unwind the new coil of rope from a turn 

table or from an elevated pallet connected to a crane wire with 

a turnbuckle. The rope should be installed onto the winch drum 

without any twists in the rope. Please note that 2 turns in 1 

meter of NEW rope, will result in a loss of MBF of easily 10% on a 

twelve strand rope and up to 25% in an eight strand rope. 

(See picture 2+3) 

Cow Hitch. Synthetic ropes can be connected to each other by 

means of a ‘cow hitch’. Tie a small rope or a webbing sling into 

the eyes to facilitate taking the cow hitch apart in a later stage. 

In case of using a grommet the ABF will reduce. (See picture 4) 

Smooth path for the ropes. Prepare the vessel in such way 

that all the contact points with the rope are as smooth as 

possible. Polished stainless steel plating is commonly applied. 

Low friction will minimize the abrasion on the rope and will 

reduce heat generation. (See picture 5) 

Repairs on a jacket. Ropes with a non-load-bearing jacket 

should be repaired once the jacket has been damaged. 

Preferably with a thin line, that has good abrasion resistance 

and that has good elongation properties (polyester / nylon).

INFORMATION 

Weight, length and diameter are measured in accordance with EN 919. The breaking force of new, unused synthetic 

ropes, both standard and high performance, are in accordance with EN 919. All data in this brochure is provided for 

technical reference and guidance only, it does not constitute a guarantee. Lankhorst Ropes reserves the right to amend 

details of their specifi cation in line with technical developments. For calculation purposes customers should consult 

the salespeople of Lankhorst in-depth and up to date technical details. 

It can be expected that the strength of the rope will decrease from the moment it is taken into service. At any time 

avoid using ropes that show signs of wear and abrasion. If in doubt contact the salespeople of Lankhorst Ropes. We 

recommend taking the rope out of usage until possible repairs have been made or the rope has been rejected. 

Joints and knots can cause loss of strength, in extreme cases up to 50%. When ropes are running over pulleys or 

sheaves, one also should take care of proper D/d ratios as well as grooves. If in doubt about any of the mentioned 

actions, please contact our salespeople for details.

ROPE INFORMATION 

Cover braids 

Cover braided constructions can be offered with a variety of cores. In most cases the jacket (cover) does not contribute 

to the ropes strength. The non load bearing jacket provides a protection to the rope’s core, this being the strength 

member. If the jacket is damaged, this does not automatically mean loss of strength. The larger sizes of cover braids 

especially, will retain their breaking strength even if the jacket is completely abraded. Our cover braids offer maximum 

strength at a minimal diameter and thus weight. 

Extruded jackets 

Extruded jackets can be provided upon request depending upon the application. However for certain application they 

are provided as standard, like for instance our tower guys (HPTG). In order to provide a die-electric strength member 

the rope core is surrounded by an abrasion and UV resistant, water proof jacket. Extruded jackets (PP,PE,PA,PUR) 

normally provide a more abrasion resistant cover, but restrain the rope’s use due to less fl exibility (higher stiffness). 

Specialities 

Many varieties on above constructions can be provided. Plaited cores with braided jackets as well as extruded jackets 

can be supplied if the application demands a special design. Lankhorst Ropes is not only able to design a rope, but is 

also able to engineer specialty terminations suited for your needs.

STEELWIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND RETIREMENT CRITERIA 

Critical areas for examination and associated defects 

1. Examine termination of rope at drum (c,g) 

2. Examine for defective coiling, which causes deformations (flattened portions) and wear, 

which can be severe at cross over positions (g) 

3. Examine for wire breaks (a,e) 

4. Examine for corrosion (b) 

5. Look for deformations caused by snatch loading (c,d) 

6. Examine portion which winds over sheave for wire breaks and wear (a,e,f) 

7. Points of attachment, check for wire break and corrosion. Similarly, check section of rope 

which lies on or adjacent to compensating sheaves (a,b) 

8. Look for deformation (c,d,e,f) 

9. Check rope diameter (b,e) 

10. Examine carefully length which runs through sheave block, particularly that length 

which lies on the sheave when the appliance is in a loaded condition (a,f) 

11. Examine for wire breaks or surface wear (a,e,f) 

12. Examine for corrosion (b) 

a) A wire rope that is repeatedly bended over sheaves will show fatigue breaks 

in individual wires. The breaks are square and can be seen on the picture 

alongside. This type of damage is related to items 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 in above 

drawing. 



I-19

INFORMATION 

In the table alongside one can see the number of broken wires over a 

length of 6d at which the wire rope is discarded. See for detailed and 

exact data ISO 4309. 

When sheaves are too small and heavy loads are applied, the wire rope 

could be heavily damaged. 

Of most importance is to observe the rate of breaking of wires, a high rate 

indicates the wire rope will have to be replaced soon. 

b) Corrosion can be both internal and external. Reduction in diameter could 

be compensated by build up of rust. It is of utmost importance 

to examine the wire rope internally as well. Corrosion may result that the 

shape of the wire rope is fl attened because the core no longer 

supports the outer strands. With severe corrosion, the wire rope should be 

replaced (related to items 4,7,9 and 12 in drawing on page I-18). 

c) Sharp objects (related to items 1, 2, 5, 8 in drawing on page I-18) can damage 

the wire rope as shown. When the strands are damaged accordingly, 

the wire rope needs to be replaced. This type of damage can be avoided 

by adjusting proper bending radius. 

Another effect of bending over a sharp angle.

INFORMATION 

d) The core of a wire rope will be protruded when a shock load is applied 

to the wire rope. The wire rope can no longer be used (related to items 5 

and 8 in drawing on page I-18). 

e) Wear of the wire rope can be determined by measuring the diameter 

(related to items 3, 6, 8, 9, 11 in drawing on page I-18). 

When reduction in diameter by internal exceeds 3% for non rotating 

wire ropes and 10% for other wire ropes, the wire rope shall be replaced. 

Even if no broken wires are visible. 

Wear is promoted by a lack of lubrication. Even if no broken wires are 

visible, but the decrease in diameter exceeds 7%, the wire rope has to be 

replaced. 

f) When the wire rope went over the edge of a sheave,it is applied to a 

sharp bending (related to items 6, 8, 10, 11in drawing on page I-18). This 

can be prooved when the individual wires are examined and ar either 

broken as cup-cone breaks or shear breaks. 

g) Drum crushing results in a flattened wire rope. This is caused when the 

load applied to wind the wire rope is too high, the drum is too small or 

when multiple layered winding (related to items 1 and 2 in drawing on 

page I-18). 

The guidelines above are intended to indicate possible cause of damage 

and are not obsolete.

INFORMATION 

FIBRE ROPE INSPECTION AND RETIREMENT CRITERIA 

INSPECTION OF CORDAGE 

Before a length of rope is issued for use, the entire length, including eye splices and/or long splices should be inspected 

by a competent person. This examination should be undertaken to check the following: 

INTERNAL WEAR(DIRT AND GRIT) 

Where ropes have been used in a gritty environment, sharp grit may penetrate into their centre. It is important to open 

the rope and examine between the strands to establish whether such damage is occurring. This examination must be 

undertaken very carefully to prevent buckling and distortion of the strands which may itself cause trouble at a later date. 

The presence of large quantities of fibre dust in the centre of the rope indicates that a replacement may be due. Oil and 

grease deposits by themselves do not damage most rope materials. However they do trap dirt and grit and may make 

the rope difficult or unpleasant to handle. 

EXTERNAL WEAR 

Some types of ropes will develop a fur or pile on their surface as the result of dragging over rough surfaces. This is 

quite normal and will not cause weakening of the rope to any significant extent. Excessive wear is indicated by a major 

proportion of the cross sections of the yarns on the outside of the rope being removed. Such wear usually is seen most 

clearly on the strand crowns, on the inside of eye splices, in particular underneath a rope thimble, if incorporated. 

MECHANICAL DAMAGE 

Although most external abrasion is localized, mechanical damage will always weaken a rope. The weakening will depend 

upon the severity of the damage. It must be remembered that mechanical damage, especially chafing, will always have a 

more drastic effect on smaller ropes than on the larger ropes. 

CUTS 

Cuts require close examination to establish their depth, and hence how much of the rope’s cross section has been 

damaged. For jacketed ropes where the jacket is not load baring(e.g. Tipto-Winchline), a cut that does not damage the 

core will probably not affect the strength. However core deformation or herniation could occur on subsequent use if 

the jacket is not repaired. Also, cuts to jackets may cause adverse effects such as handling difficulties, inability to slide 

through fittings smoothly and exposing the core to grit. 

FLEX FATIGUE – PULLEYS, ROLLERS, CHOCKS, FAIRLEADS 

Constant bending of any type of rope causes internal and external fiber abrasion. This is frequently caused by running 

over pulleys. But other types of flexing such as frequent bending over a small radius surface(chock/fairlead) can also 

cause fatigue damage. Flexing over fixed surfaces is often accompanied by surface wear, especially if sliding action is also 

present. Wear will appear on the surface of the contact area. The fibers will become matted on the surface and/or glazed 

from heat build-up. 

HOCKLE, TWIST OR CORKSCREW 

If too much twist is introduced into a hawser laid rope it will tend to hockle(kink). Hockles that can not be turned 

back easily to restore the ropes integrity indicate severe damage. The same applies for the opposite, corkscrews, when 

restoring the rope back into its original structure is difficult or impossible the rope should be taken out of service. Braided 

and plaited ropes should not display any twist and these ropes should not be used unless restored to normal appearance. 

CHEMICAL ATTACK 

Deterioration of cordage by chemicals is usually not the result of the rope having been contaminated by a chemical 

foreseen by the user. That is to say, ropes, which are used in known chemical environments usually, are supplied in a 

quality to offer the highest resistance to the conditions. Rather, frequently contamination occurs by accident from 

chemicals whose presence was not foreseen. 



I-22 

010711

010711 

INFORMATION 

SUNLIGHT DAMAGE 

Ultra-violet radiation from sunlight can cause brittle, weak outer rope yarns in polyolefin lines and strength 

deterioration in ropes from some other fibres. 

THERMAL DAMAGE 

Friction of synthetic fibre ropes under high tension while rendering around bitts and winches, or while going through 

fairleads, can generate enough heat to melt or fuse fibres, yarns or strands together. 

The examination should determine whether any areas of fusion or carbonisation are present. If in doubt discard the 

rope. 

WETTING 

Natural fibre ropes when wet or damp should not be left on the ground as in this way the germs of rot start. Also 

particles of grit are picked up. Man-made fibre ropes although not affected by wet or damp are nevertheless liable to 

damage by particles of grit. All wet ropes should be hung up in freely circulating air and allowed to dry naturally. If this 

cannot be done the ropes should be loosely stacked on pieces of timber or any other suitable substance, clear of damp 

ground or sweating concrete. Coils of new rope should be stacked in a similar manner. On no account should ropes be 

dried by any form of heat. 

MILDEW 

Mildew does not attack man-made fibres although surface contamination may, under certain circumstances, provide a 

nutrient, which permits the growth of moulds. Whilst these are unpleasant, they do not affect the strength of the rope. 

They may be removed by washing in water. The use of harsh detergents should be avoided. Mildew will attack natural 

fibre cordage if it is stored wet in stagnant air. The mould will live on the cellulose of the rope and in consequence a loss 

of strength will inevitably occur. 

ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION 

Reaching a decision on whether the cordage is, or is not, fit for further use must be based on the conditions of the 

cordage, and what defects have been observed during the examination. The examination must only be undertaken by 

someone who is competent. In forming a decision, the examiner should adopt a fail-safe policy. If there is any doubt that 

the cordage may not sustain the stresses, which it is likely to have to bear, then it must not be used. 

Rope/yarn damage regardless of the percentage leads to strength loss. The attached discard criteria may describe a 

certain percentage after which the rope should be rejected. This percentage is valid for ropes in general service. For 

ropes used in critical applications the retirement criteria should be determined in cooperation between user and 

Lankhorst Ropes and will/can vary upon application. 

Preferably a sample should be taken from the rope in order to determine the actual residual breaking strength of the 

rope. When this is not possible the attached criteria should be used in order to determine whether or not the rope 

should be taken out of service. In practice it has proven to be very difficult to estimate strength loss based upon visual 

inspection alone. The visual examination should therefore be carried out very conservatively. 

Finally, the user must take notice of the fact that even carefully used ropes will wear out if they receive sufficient use, 

and care should be taken to withdraw them from service before this time is reached rather than allowing them to 

continue in use until they fail.
