Engineered sheaves and blocks

Timberland sheaves and blocks can be engineered to the specific needs of your application to deflect or re-direct a wire or synthetic rope. Designs can be specified to the breaking strength of the rope or for a suitable safety factor. Timberland is experienced with sheaves up to 18 ft. (5.5 m) diameter and blocks up to 1,000 T.

Timberland utility snatch blocks are available for all types of rigging with wire rope for loads from 9,000 to 37,000 lbs. (4 000 to 17 000 kg)

15 ft. (4.6 m) diameter head sheave for 2-1/4" (57 mm) diameter wire rope.
