eSheaves has long been a trusted source for a wide variety of sheaves, with our strongman shaves being one of our most popular styles. Strongman sheaves are fully customizable wire rope sheaves with a solid steel body. In this blog we will take a look at three reasons why strongman sheaves are one of the best options when people want an alternative to buying off-the-shelf products.
- Flexibility & Ease of Customization:
As strongman sheaves are fully customizable, you will be able to get what you need based on your design, rather than needing to modify your design to fit a stock catalog sheave. Strongman sheaves are available in sizes from 1” to 60” in diameter and can fit wire rope sizes 1/8” up to 3” in diameter. Despite our sheaves being solid steel, our strongman sheaves are compatible with any rope material, including steel, polymer, nylon, and other synthetics. All we need are your specifications and then we can provide the sheave solution!
- Fast Shipment:
When you send us a strongman sheave inquiry, you will receive a formal quotation in as little as 24 hours. Also, our large sheaves and specialty designs are quoted within days to ensure your strongman sheave will be made quickly, rather than waiting many months, leading to equipment downtime. eSheaves has the industry’s fastest delivery time for custom sheaves too, with our largest and hardened sheaves taking only 4-5 weeks to ship.
- Durability:
Strongman sheaves are built to last. Our sheaves up to 16” diameter in size are machined from the highly durable 1045 round bar with bigger sizes being hardened to 35-40 RC. In most cases, our strongman sheaves are so strong that when load tested to destruction, the wire rope will break before the sheave is damaged.
