Question 2165Deck General70% to pass
When you "end for end" a wire rope, you _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) remove the wire rope from the drum and reverse it so that the free end becomes the bitter end.
Ending a wire rope "end for end" refers to the process of removing the wire rope from the drum and reversing its orientation, so that the free/working end becomes the bitter/fixed end, and vice versa. This helps to evenly distribute the wear and tear on the rope, extending its usable life. The other options, such as splicing two ropes together or simply cutting off the ends, do not accurately describe the "end for end" procedure.
