Some Important Information on Wire Rope Spooling Our stateof the art spoolersdoes away with using traditionalmethodswhichare out dated. Technology has brought together an improved version to carry out coiling jobs which were once deemedimpossible. TraditionalmethodFig. A and B are outdatedand technically,no longerconsideredefficient methods. As the demand for larger size wire ropes increasinglybecoming popular, these methods are fast becomingobsolete.

Back tensioningis very importantwhen installinga wire rope onto a winch where a seriesof multiplelayer of wire rope coilingexists.If insufficientback tensioningis produced,the wire rope on the top layers of the drum will be prone to cuttinginto the under layers upon load application.This will resultin damagesto the wire rope. Wire under tension coiling Wire coilingwithouttensionwire rope sagging Owner’s winches Coiling a wire rope onto the drum or winch with constant back tensioning produces a coil package that is tight and evenly distributedwith little tolerance for side movement acting on the...

On site imagesof perfectlycoiledwire rope with constantback tensioning …. GUANHENG ’s fleet of spooling machines are designed to produce up to 15-tons (machine dependant) of constant back-tensioning during the spooling operations. This back-tensioning is hydraulically controlled and can be consistentlymaintained throughoutthe spooling/coiling job
