DCD Sheave Hangers

DCD offers single or double hangers to go with their series of cast aluminum sheaves. The single hangers are provided with a safety hook and the double hangers have one hook and one pin through which a rope may be fed or other items attached. The sheaves are all cast aluminum with machined faces and bores. They are then fitted with high load iron-bronze flanged bushings.

All parts are designed to take 10,000 lbs. line load allowing for a 3:1 safety factor. One feature of the hangers is the ease with which they are assembled to either a sheave or a quadrant. A simple pin with a handle at one end and a locking pin at the other does the job. It should be noted that the handle at one end of the pin may be used to support the hanger in a horizontal position should that be necessary.

The sheaves and hangers may be purchased as assemblies or individually as shown in the table below.
