What our Experts Think
Q&A
Q: What is the Greenlee 652 Hook Cable Sheave used for?
A: It is a heavy-duty 18-inch hook-type cable sheave designed to guide and support electrical cable during pulling operations, reducing friction and preventing cable damage in conduit or overhead installs.
Q: What does the 18-inch size mean?
A: The sheave has an 18" outside diameter, providing a larger bend radius for smoother cable movement and safer pulling of larger or heavier cable runs.
Q: What is its load capacity?
A: It is rated for a maximum pulling capacity of 4,000 lb (17.8 kN), suitable for professional electrical and utility cable pulling work.
Q: What is it made of?
A: It features a strong welded steel frame with a forged steel hook and an aluminum alloy sheave with self-lubricating bearings for smooth operation and durability.
Q: How is it used on the job?
A: It hooks onto structures or supports and guides pulling rope or cable through turns, corners, or entry points to reduce strain and protect insulation during installation.
Q: What does “Reconditioned” mean?
A: A reconditioned unit has been inspected, tested, and restored to working condition. It may show cosmetic wear but remains fully functional and jobsite-ready.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect sheave wheel before each use for cracks, chips, groove wear, or deformation
- Check hook and safety latch for proper closure, bending, or corrosion
- Ensure sheave rotates smoothly without binding, noise, or excessive play
- Clean groove regularly to remove dirt, cable debris, and grease that can damage rope or cable
- Lubricate bearings and pivot points periodically with light machine oil for smooth rotation
- Verify axle, pins, and retaining hardware are tight and properly secured before use
- Do not exceed rated load capacity to avoid structural failure or bearing damage
- Inspect cable contact surfaces for sharp edges that could fray rope or wire
- Store in a dry, protected area to prevent rust and extend service life
- Remove from service immediately if cracks, bending, or hook deformation is found
- Keep sheave aligned properly during use to prevent uneven wear and cable tracking issues
- Clean after exposure to moisture, mud, or jobsite dust to maintain performance
- For reconditioned units, inspect repaired areas more frequently for early signs of wear
- Avoid side-loading the hook beyond designed limits to maintain safe operation
- Maintain regular lubrication schedule to ensure long-term smooth rolling performance
