I went and looked at a tke isis duplex in a moderately busy 6 stop building today. These machines arent even old enough to have had their first cat 5 tests performed on them yet. I looked at the hoist ropes. WOW. Flat and sharp. Way more wear than i would have thought should be there on 4 year old equipment. I guess that 90 degree twist in 4 feet off of the drive to each deflector takes its toll.

Have others out there experienced this issue with this equipment?
