New Wire Rope Replacement Intervals

Longer wire rope replacement intervals set a new industry standard

Mandatory wire rope and sheave replacement intervals have been extended from 8 to 12 years, provided the total number of machine hours does not exceed 7,000*. This sets a new industry standard for machine longevity and reduces total cost of ownership.

Over the typical life cycle of a machine, more years between replacement means more uptime and a potentially higher resale value when owners replenish their fleets. For select machines, it also delivers significant savings.

To receive the maximum return on this change, keep the following in mind:

• The new wire rope replacement interval is 12 years, or 7,000 machine hours.
• The affected JLG boom lift models are 600S, 600SJ, 600SC, 600SJC, 601S, 660SJ, 660SJC, 680S, 800S, 810SJ, 860SJ, 1200SJP, 1350SJP, 1500SJ and 1850SJ.

Extending wire rope sheaves replacement intervals sets a new industry standard and results in another reduction to total cost of ownership for JLG. If you have any questions about this change or how to get the right parts for your job, contact your Regional Sales or Service Manager or contact us.
