🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope construction and lay (right regular lay vs left lay) • How coiling direction should match the rope’s lay to prevent kinking • Proper handling of kinks in wire rope to avoid internal damage

💭 Think About

• What does kinking do to the internal strands of a wire rope if you try to force it straight under tension? • If coiling clockwise is causing kinks, what change in either direction or procedure would reduce twisting stress on the rope? • Which options would permanently damage the rope versus safely avoiding further kinking?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the rope’s lay would normally be coiled with or against its lay — coiling against the lay promotes kinks • Eliminate any option that involves forcing kinks out under load or strain • Focus on the choice that best prevents additional kinking and damage, rather than trying to fix kinks the hard way
