Sheaves/Quadrants/Jamb Skids

Heavy-Duty Sheaves, Quadrants & Jamb Skids

Navigate Tight Pulls with Precision Cable Guides

Routing heavy utility cable through manholes, vaults, and sharp bends requires equipment that can handle immense tension while protecting the integrity of the wire. Our selection of commercial-grade sheaves, quadrants, and jamb skids ensures your cable maintains its proper bend radius and glides smoothly through the most challenging underground pulls.

Building a Safe Pulling System:

  • Cable Sheaves & Hangers: Essential for reducing friction, our heavy-duty sheaves guide the cable efficiently. Pair them with sturdy sheave hangers to securely suspend your rigging inside the manhole or vault.

  • Quadrants: When you need to route a cable through a 90-degree turn without exceeding its minimum bend radius, quadrants are the answer. We carry multiple sizes (from 3" up to 8" wide) featuring multiple sheave rollers to distribute the load evenly and prevent cable jacket damage.

  • Jamb Skids & Manhole Braces: Create a rock-solid anchor point for your sheaves and quadrants. Jamb skids brace firmly against the manhole opening, providing a secure, adjustable mounting system for high-tension pulls.

Not sure which quadrant size accommodates your cable's bend radius? Contact our rigging experts for a custom recommendation.
