This sheave and shackle, or “bicycle wheel”, combination is designed to accommodate the special handling needs of pulling fiber optic cable. Among the unique features are a lightweight design, one-size shackle and the reduction of loose parts.

  • Sheaves are lightweight aluminum construction with self-lube bearings.
  • Captivating pins on shackles prevent cable damage when not under tension.
  • For overhead applications 24 in. (61cm) sheave with shackle provides generous bending radius for fiber optic cable up to .6 in. (15mm) diameter.
  • All removable hardware is retained for security.
  • All components are permanently attached to the shackle, eliminating any concern about loose or lost parts.
  • Manufactured from extruded aluminum, these components weigh about half as much as all-steel counterparts, improving handling and maneuverability without sacrificing structural strength or integrity.
  • The aerial shackle just 16 lb (7kg).
