4 Sheaves
Sheaves are a high wear item especially at the threads where the rope touches the inside surface of the sheave. Gantrex uses specialized fabrication techniques to ensure the necessary high wear surfaces are hardened to increase its durability.

Gantrex can supply you with sheaves for spares or immediate replacement if needed. We can even assist you in replacing the sheaves on your cranes. All sheaves are heat treated by an induction process to ensure the correct throat hardness is achieved. Sheaves can be manufactured as a welded piece or a solid piece from a forging. Please check with your local sales representative for further information
5 Twist-lock
Twist-locks for Spreader and Spreader holders. We improve their design and heat treatment properties. Please check with your local sales representative for further information
6 End-stops and Hydraulic bumpers
End stops and buffers are commonplace in docks and ports, at the end of rails accommodating cranes and railway lines delivering bulk material or cargo to a port. They are also used in factories and steel mills with cranes and major machinery to remove some of the high stresses endured by the buildings when cranes reach their destination. Very occasionally, moving equipment can fail to stop or slow down sufficiently, resulting in a risk of collision or overriding the end of the platform/line. Fitting efficient and effective end stops protects passengers, rolling stock and infrastructure in the events that trains or cranes fail to stop. Gantrex bumpers/buffers are designed for the harshest heavy-duty applications. Featuring a fatigue-less gas return spring and the most efficient fluid metering pin system on the market, our hydraulic bumper controls the deceleration of rail-mounted material handling equipment.
7 Rollers
Rollers are extremely high wear items as they protect the crane cables from wearing on the crane’s steel surfaces. It is always good practice to have a few too many rollers in your stock and Gantrex can help you in acquiring all the rollers you may need! We can supply the rollers as per the original drawings or apply our engineering skills and the latest measurement techniques to ensure the rollers we supply fit like a glove. At Gantrex we pride ourselves on the high-quality standards we bring to the industry, ensuring that we provide the most reliable products and innovative solutions to all our customers. Gantrex can supply the rollers as per the original drawings or apply our engineering skills and the latest measurement techniques to ensure the rollers we supply fit like a glove. Please check with your local sales representative for further information.
