Description

What Is It?

A sheave block, also known as a pulley block, is a device consisting of one or more grooved wheels or pulleys that rotate on a central axis. The block is commonly used to change the direction of the force in a rope or cable, allowing for easier lifting or pulling of heavy loads.

They can be found in various sizes and configurations, with the number of wheels and grooves depending on the intended application. Some blocks have a single wheel, while others have multiple wheels arranged in tandem or side-by-side. They are typically made of materials such as steel, aluminium, or plastic, with steel being the most common material for heavy-duty applications.

They are used in a wide range of industries, including construction, shipping, and transportation. They are also used in various types of equipment such as cranes, hoists, and elevators. Proper maintenance of the blocks is important to ensure optimal performance and safety, as worn or damaged pulleys can cause equipment failure and accidents.
