➜ Never overload or shock load a wire rope.
➜ Please note that very high or very low ambient temperatures may dramatically change the behavior of the wire rope as well as the wire rope termination. Please contact us if there is any doubt regarding the safe use in a certain environment.
➜ Please note that any termination assembled by verope® must not be modified!
➜ Wire ropes and wire rope terminations are regarded as expendable products. For safe and proper use, maintenance and inspection are required.

Please refer to applicable international or national standards in their relevant version (e.g. ISO 4309, EN 12385 and EN 13411), other general technical literature or regulations concerning inspection, examination and discard criteria for both wire ropes and wire rope terminations.
