The right sheave or roller setup depends on your cable run layout, cable type, and pulling method. For straight pulls, use straight tray rollers to reduce drag. For corners or elevation changes, opt for multi-directional rollers or hook-style sheaves to guide the cable smoothly. Heavier cables need setups with higher load capacity and wider contact surfaces to avoid damage. Matching the setup to your cable and path ensures a safer, more efficient pull.

Our sheaves and rollers minimize friction and maintain the proper bend radius, helping prevent cable damage like abrasions or kinks. The rollers turn with the cable, and their smooth, wide surfaces reduce pressure on the insulation. This protection keeps the cable intact and extends its service life.

Each cable has a minimum bend radius and therefore violating it can damage conductors or insulation. Adjustable sheaves, like triangle guides, allow you to set and maintain safe radii, protecting the cable.

Hook sheaves are designed to hang from conduit or structure to guide cable smoothly into a raceway at the start of a pull. Cable tray sheaves, by contrast, sit inside cable trays to support and guide cables along the run, especially around corners. While hook sheaves assist with feeding, tray sheaves reduce drag and protect cable during long horizontal pulls.
