At WRS – Wire Rope Services Tasmania, we make sure your lifting gear is safe, compliant, and fit for purpose. Forget waiting weeks for inspectors to fly down from the mainland. Our locally based team is ready to deploy across the state to minimise your downtime and keep your site running safely.

Our certified inspectors thoroughly examine your wire ropes for visible signs of fatigue, including broken wires, crushing, corrosion, bird-caging, and core protrusion. We also measure for diameter reduction to ensure the rope hasn’t stretched beyond safe limits.

You can’t always see the damage on the outside. We use advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) via Magnetic Rope Testing to inspect the internal condition of your wire ropes. This is crucial for detecting internal corrosion and broken wires that a visual check might miss.

Safety isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about protecting your crew. We provide full compliance auditing and issue rigorous certification that aligns with WorkSafe Tasmania requirements, the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) guidelines, and all relevant Australian Standards (AS).

Keeping track of inspection dates can be a headache. We help you manage your lifting register, providing clear, digitised reports and reminding you when your next periodic inspection is due.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ## Why Choose WRS for Your Inspections?

 

 

 

 

   

 

#### 100% Tasmanian Owned & Operated

We’re based in the north with a mobile service truck ready to cover the entire state. When you need us, we’re already here.

#### Uncompromising Safety

We treat every inspection as if our own lives depend on it. Our team is fully qualified to identify risks before they turn into costly—or dangerous—failures.
