Sheaves are fabricated including a forge-rolled
rim. Sheave grooves are flame hardened to obtain
maximum wear resistance and to resist deformation.
Sheaves are mounted on tapered roller bearings which

there is no need for separate thrust bearings, thrust
washers or thrust plates.

remain accessible from working platform in each case.
