Vertical Sheave Fairlead – Precision Wire Rope Guidance for Towing & Heavy-Duty Operations
Essential for Safe & Efficient Wire Rope Handling
Also known as a vertical fairlead or sheave block, this heavy-duty component works alongside swivel fairleads to smoothly direct wire ropes from winches to loads. Unlike standard mooring chocks, it’s specifically designed for towing ships, work boats, and industrial marine applications—ensuring optimal rope alignment and reducing wear.
✔ Durable Cast Steel Construction – Built to withstand extreme loads and harsh marine conditions
✔ Precision Groove & Shaft Design – Minimizes friction and prolongs wire rope lifespan
✔ Compatible with Swivel Fairleads – Often paired with a horizontal or vertical sheave for optimal performance
✔ Customizable Options Available – Tailored to your specific towing or lifting requirements
