Hi guys,
I've taken on a new role with a major PA company in my city (Neale, you can guess who and you'll be right).
We've got 4 winch up lifting towers and the steel cable appears to have flattened out in a few sections. I'm guessing this is because it's where it comes off the reel and spends most of it's time in that position.
I'd like to ask some advice - should I be concerned that it's no longer flat or is this ok ?
When speakers are hung the weight is on the pins so the cable is just for in-between the pins going up and down.
I realise that the internet is no substitute for professional advice especially where safety is concerned but, I just wanted to get an opinion before I start tracking down someone in my city who can advise on this.
two pics attached; sorry the second one is a bit blurry.
The cable isn't frayed; just flattened.
Regards,
Andrew
