Wire Ropes: Practical Seminar
Wire ropes play a crucial role in many technical areas. Therefore, it is important to acquire the necessary knowledge. March 19 and 20, 2025 The practical seminar “Wire ropes – design, selection and monitoring” will take place in the Haus der Technik in Essen. This seminar is aimed at experts from crane and conveyor technology.
Why is this seminar important?
Wire ropes are highly stressed components. They must therefore be carefully selected, correctly installed and regularly checked. Mistakes can have fatal consequences. This seminar therefore provides both theoretical basics and practical applications.
