By guiding wire rope or chain over one or more grooved wheels, it supports smoother crane lifting, reduces strain on equipment, and makes heavy-load movement more efficient. Understanding how a crane pulley works is useful for operators, maintenance teams, buyers, and anyone involved in lifting operations. What does a crane sheave block actually do?
