Custom Sheave Wheels

We can replace factory-standard sheave wheels with new wheels with custom grooves machined to match your cable size as needed.

We specialize in retrofiting Sherman & Reilly 74- and 78-series snatch blocks, but may be able to retrofit other sheaves and snatch blocks given sufficient dimensional information and/or the ability to disassemle and measure the block to design the new custom wheel.

Available wheel materials vary depending on application specifics.  Load rating, testing, and certification can be facilitated, although the customized wheel’s load rating may be lower than the original sheave’s nominal load rating.
