211891 CHAFE PROTECTION WITH FURHTER, DETAILS

Chafe protection maximizes the service life of the ropes, protecting ropes from abrasion and cutting. All chafe options can be factory-installed on your ropes prior to shipment from the mfr’s plants, or are available in bulk for field installation. When replacing wire ropes with synthetics, it is important to prepare or repair the surfaces of deck equipment damaged by abrasion. Chocks, fairleads, bollards, bitts or other hardware contacting the rope need to be smooth and free of rust to ensure your ropes’ longest life.
