Magnetic Rope Testing

Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT), is a wire rope inspection method that uses the ferromagnetic properties of wire ropes to detect external and internal broken wires, deformations, and corrosion.

Advantages:

  • Non-destructive method
  • Detects external and internal wire rope defects
  • Recommended for non-rotating wire ropes

Our technical experts, qualified in wire rope kinematics studies and certified MIT Level II in Magnetic Rope Testing, are available to design an MRT solution tailored to your situation.

How does the MRT inspection work?

The wear of a wire rope often begins on the inside. Even when defects are located on the outside of the wire rope, they are usually covered with grease or dirt.

Considering these parameters, is a simple visual inspection sufficiently accurate?

Discover in this short animation how the Magnetic Rope testing inspection works and how our devices can effectively detect internal and external defects in your wire ropes.

Our acquisition system consists of a measuring device and a data processing, storage, and display unit. This allows the user to analyze the collected data in real-time.

Testimonial from SAPPI

The company Sappi, a paper manufacturer in Maastricht, trusted the expertise of Lifting Solutions Group to design its MRT solution.

Discover in detail how the Magnetic Rope Testing of the wire ropes of the company's 35 overhead cranes and gantry cranes was carried out.

Traction Levage is certified according to ISO9712 for the use of these magneto-inductive devices (MRT) and can now offer these services on your installations under MIT Level II.

We remain available to offer you various inspection possibilities and/or the implementation of such devices on your sensitive installations (mobile or permanent devices).
