BS EN 12385-8:2002 – Steel wire ropes — Safety — Part 8: Stranded hauling and carrying-hauling ropes for cableway installations designed to carry persons
1 Scope
This Part of this European Standard specifies the particular materials, manufacturing and testing requirements for stranded steel wire ‘hauling’ and ‘carrying-hauling’ ropes for cableway installations designed to carry persons.
The particular hazards covered by this Part are identified in Clause 4.
The rope grade is limited to 1960.
Minimum breaking forces for the more common classes, sizes and grades of rope are provided in tables 2, 3 and 4.
Stranded tension ropes and ski-tow ropes are covered by EN 12385-4.
