Standard Reeve Crane Blocks 1 Sheave
This technical datasheet outlines the single-sheave Standard Reeve series (13.7 to 70 UStons). It highlights the “Short Design” philosophy, which is engineered to maximize lifting height in environments where frequent block changes are not necessary, such as workshop cranes and fixed industrial lifting systems.
Engineered for Durability & Heavy-Duty Performance
The Standard Reeve 1-Sheave Crane Block is a robust and reliable solution for industrial lifting applications where consistent load tension and safety are paramount. Designed for high-performance rigging, these blocks provide superior load control and durability in demanding crane environments.
