Sheave for Grove 2035

The sheave, part number 2306964, serves as a primary component in the lifting system of Grove cranes. It guides the steel wire rope through the boom assembly and the hook block, facilitating necessary changes in direction while distributing the load during lifting operations. By providing a controlled path for the cable, the sheave helps maintain the alignment of the rigging system.

This component is engineered for use on the Grove 2035, GMK 2035, and GMK-2035-35TON all-terrain crane models. It is typically positioned within the boom head, the hook block, or the counterweight reeving system to support the cable under tension. The design of the sheave features a precision-machined groove profile intended to match the specific diameter and construction of the wire rope used on these machines, allowing it to rotate on an internal axle assembly.

In crane systems, sheaves function as pulleys that reduce the friction encountered by the wire rope as it moves. Proper rotation and a well-maintained groove surface are necessary to ensure the cable travels smoothly, which helps prevent premature wear on the rope strands and ensures consistent operation of the hoist system during load handling.
