A single-sheave fixed-mount pulley for changing the direction of a rope or cord. Steel frame and axle with a zinc die-cast grooved sheave spin on National's Life Lube permanently-lubricated alloy bearing for smooth, quiet operation indoors or outdoors. The removable axle lets you slip the sheave open to re-rig mid-line without unthreading the rope from end to end. Zinc plated all over for rust resistance on weather-exposed installations.

• Type: Fixed-mount, single sheave (direction change only - no mechanical advantage on its own)
• Sheave diameter: 3"
• Maximum rope size: 1/2"
• Safe Working Load: 650 Lb
• Frame and axle: Steel
• Sheave: Zinc die-cast with formed rope groove
• Bearing: National Life Lube alloy bearing - lifetime lubricated, no maintenance
• Axle: Removable - swing the sheave out to re-rig mid-line without rethreading the rope
• Finish: Zinc plated, weather-resistant
• Mounting: Through-hole top loop for hook, bolt, or shackle attachment
• Safety: Working Load Limit only - not breaking strength. Do not use for overhead lifting of personnel, support of human weight, or athletic and playground equipment. Inspect axle play and sheave rotation before each load-bearing use.

Tip: Largest sheave in the line and the only size that accepts 1/2" rope - reach for it on garage ceiling kayak/canoe hoists, deer-game hoists tied off in a tree, small construction material hoists, and any outdoor application where you need thicker rope for grip and abrasion life. Always check the rope diameter does not exceed 1/2" - oversized rope binds the sheave and accelerates bearing wear.
