How to choose the safety rope of the suspended platform 2025.06/18

The safety rope of the suspended platform is a key equipment to protect the life safety of workers in construction and high-altitude operations, and is known as the "lifeline". Choosing a suitable safety rope can not only effectively reduce the risk of operation, but also improve work efficiency.

1. Material selection

The material of the safety rope directly affects its strength, durability and safety. Common safety rope materials include high-strength steel wire rope and synthetic fiber rope (such as nylon, polyester, etc.).

Wire rope: Steel wire rope has the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, can withstand large tension, and is suitable for long-term use. It has high tensile strength and can maintain good performance even in harsh environments.

Synthetic fiber rope: Synthetic fiber rope (such as nylon, polyester) is relatively light, elastic and easy to operate, but its durability and wear resistance are slightly inferior to steel wire rope.

When choosing materials, it is recommended to give priority to high-strength steel wire rope, especially under conditions with large loads or harsh environments.

2. Specifications

The specifications of the safety rope include diameter, length and number of strands per strand, which directly affect its load-bearing capacity and use effect.

Diameter: The diameter of the safety rope should be selected according to the load and lifting height of the suspended platform. Generally speaking, the diameter should not be less than 6mm. For high-strength steel wire rope, the diameter between 8mm and 12mm is more common.

Length: The length of the safety rope should be determined according to the operating height and operating range of the suspended platform to ensure that the operator is always in a safe state during use. The recommended length is generally between 15-20 meters.

Number of strands per share: The more strands per share, the higher the tensile strength of the rope and the better the safety.

3. Safety factor

The safety factor of the safety rope refers to the ratio of its breaking tension to the maximum working load. According to Chinese standards, the safety factor of the safety rope should not be less than 9. This means that the breaking tension of the safety rope is at least 9 times its maximum working load, ensuring that there is enough safety margin in case of emergencies.

4. Inspection and maintenance

When choosing a safety rope, you also need to consider the convenience of its inspection and maintenance. The safety rope should be inspected regularly and replaced in time when problems such as wear, broken strands, and rust are found. It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the safety rope at least once a month.

5. Brand and certification

Choosing a well-known brand of suspended platform can better guarantee the quality of the safety rope. Some well-known suspended platform brands, such as Shenxi Machinery, have a strict quality control system, and the quality of the safety rope produced is more guaranteed.

In addition, qualified safety ropes should have national or international certification marks, such as CE certification, GB standards, etc., to ensure that they meet safety standards.

6. Usage specifications

When using safety ropes, you should also pay attention to the following points:

Fixed method: The safety rope should be fixed in a reliable position on the building and should not be connected to any part of the suspended platform.

Firm connection: The connection between the safety rope and the suspended platform, hook, etc. should use a special connector to ensure a firm and reliable connection.

Avoid knotting: The safety rope is not allowed to be knotted and extended.
