For mission-critical towing and workboat operations, our instrumented sheave assemblies can be counted on to deliver the highest level of quality, performance, and reliability.
Sheave assemblies are customized to your application and can be provided with sensors for tension, payout, speed and angles. We can design vertical or horizontal lead sheave assemblies or hanging blocks for EM cable, wire or synthetic ropes.
Individual sheaves can be provided to customers for integration into their levelwinds or existing sheave assemblies. We can also retrofit existing sheave assemblies with force and rotational sensors to enable line parameter viewing.
