When it comes to custom sheaves and block, few manufacturers can compare to Sheaves Canada's capabilites. These dam gate hoisting blocks included some of the following features:
Composite bushings and thrust washers which proved to be an excellent selection for the marine environment.
Stainless steel shafts to provide long lasting corrosion protection.
Flame hardened sheave grooves to improve wear resistance.
Provision for rope spelter socket anchoring.
A total of eight sheaves ranging in diameter from 16-19" were also supplied to be mounted on the lower section of the gate.
