• Sheaves

Possibly one of the world’s oldest mechanical devices the first crane sheave probably appeared not too long after the wheel, as a pulley, sheaves are a major component in the lifting ability of your crane along with a seemingly endless list of other applications.

With Mitchell Crane's vast experience working with cranes and manufacturing parts we have the know-how to produce high-quality aftermarket crane sheaves & wire rope sheaves for your crane in addition to sheaves for almost any application you may need.

Crane Sheave Manufacturer & Supplier

We stock a large selection of new and used crane sheaves for American® and Link-Belt® cranes. We manufacture wire rope sheaves starting from Grey Iron Castings and from Billets of 4130, 4140, or 4145 Heat Treated Materials and other materials depending on the application.

As fiber technologies become more widely used in crane applications, we have begun to offer these materials as well and are proud to offer new lines of synthetic hoisting ropes such as Plasma Synthetic Rope®.

Sheave inspection is crucial to the safe operation of your crane and a key component in reducing costs associated with replacing wire rope. Typically we see sheaves being replaced only when bearings are blown out or bushings worn through and certainly these are good reasons to replace them, however, as the groove profile of a sheave changes due to normal use it will cause the wire rope to become deformed which will diminish its integrity and life span.

Crane Sheave Repair Services

Repair services for used sheaves can be as simple as replacing a bushing or a more extensive repair may include welding up the inside of a sheave and re-machining it for new bearings. There are many factors used to determine if a sheave can be repaired or if repairs are even cost-effective.
