PORT CRANE SOLUTIONS

DRAWING

GENERAL INFORMATION
Sheaves are grooved wheels used to guide and hold the wire rope. Sheaves rotate on bearings which allow the wire rope
to move freely. That applies a minimum friction and wear for the rope and ensures a smooth crane operation.
Gantrex can provide you all types of sheaves for the 4 main crane applications:
• Main Hoist System
• Trolley Travel System
• Boom Hoist System
• Catenary Travel System
