HANDLING –
THE RIGHT WAY
Use spindle through the reels for loading/unloading or put the rope on a swift with brake arrangement.
Allow clearance for free rotation of reel when the rope end is pulled.
Maintain constant tension during haul off. Prevent crossing of rope laps on the reel.
Avoid possible kink, which is a permanent damage to a rope.
