The stickers are designed to be placed on or near the wire rope itself for immediate visual reinforcement. Their placement serves as a constant check. Protect your employees, your equipment, and your reputation.

This wire rope fail sticker is printed with the text:

DANGER!

Wire rope WILL FAIL if worn out, overloaded, misused, damaged, improperly maintained, or abused. Wire rope failure may cause serious injury or death! Protect yourself and others:
• ALWAYS INSPECT wire rope for WEAR, DAMAGE, or ABUSE BEFORE USE.
• NEVER USE wire rope that is WORN-OUT, DAMAGED, or ABUSED.
• NEVER OVERLOAD a wire rope.
• INFORM YOURSELF: Read and understand the manufacturer's literature or "Wire Rope and Wire Rope Sling Safety Bulletin".
• REFER TO APPLICABLE CODES, STANDARDS, and REGULATIONS for INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS and REMOVAL CRITERIA.
• For additional information or the BULLETIN, ask your employer or wire rope supplier.

Our Wire Rope Fail Crane Safety Stickers are created, printed, cut, and shipped in the USA.

This safety sticker is typically installed on or near the hoist unit, winch station, operator cab, or at the primary crane inspection station. Placing it in these highly visible areas ensures it is easily seen by operators during pre-shift visual checks.

This safety sticker is used across various lifting and hoisting systems. Specifically, it is compatible with overhead cranes, mobile cranes, boom trucks, bucket trucks, bridge cranes, service truck cranes, and carry deck cranes.

This safety sticker supports pre-use machinery inspections, operator awareness, and compliance with safety regulations like OSHA 1910.179(m) and ASME B30.5. It functions as a visual cue to identify wire rope damage before hoisting operations begin.

The sticker warns that wire rope will fail if worn-out, overloaded, misused, damaged, or poorly maintained. It outlines clear pre-use guidelines, instructing operators to always inspect the rope for damage before use, never use a compromised rope, and never overload the hoisting system.

This decal warns operators about catastrophic wire rope failure and the danger of falling suspended loads, which can cause serious injury or death. It explicitly highlights hazards linked to using worn-out or abused ropes, overloading, and failing to refer to inspection codes and manufacturer bulletins.

A pre-use inspection is critical because it identifies wear, abuse, or structural damage before a lift is attempted. Proactively catching these issues prevents catastrophic wire rope failures, keeping operators safe and protecting expensive hoisting equipment from damage.

This danger sticker should be applied to overhead cranes, mobile cranes, bridge cranes, boom trucks, bucket trucks, service truck cranes, and carry deck cranes. It is suitable for any crane setup where operators need a constant reminder to inspect the wire rope mechanism.

No, this safety sticker is a supplementary visual aid and does not replace formal operator training or documented safety inspections. It is designed to reinforce training programs and remind operators to consult official manufacturer literature and regulatory codes during their inspections.

The primary audience includes crane operators, service mechanics, safety inspectors, and industrial trainers. It serves as a vital reminder for anyone responsible for daily equipment checks, crane maintenance, or workplace safety compliance.
