What is an SWR reeving block used for?
An SWR reeving block is a sheave block used to reeve steel wire rope for hoisting or hauling, redirecting line and reducing the line-pull capacity required of a winch. Single, double or treble sheave configurations are available, and the units are designed to cope with hostile environments such as mining and heavy construction. Toco supplies reeving blocks as part of a broad blocks and pulleys range.
What end fittings are available?
Reeving blocks are available with a forged steel hook, swivel oval eye, swivel safety shackle, or link and shackle, so the block can be matched to the rigging arrangement on site. The right termination depends on the application; Toco’s team can advise on the best configuration for your duty.
How do reeving blocks reduce winch load?
By reeving the rope through multiple sheaves, a reeving block distributes the load across several rope falls, reducing the line pull a winch must exert for a given load. This makes heavier hauling and hoisting achievable with a smaller winch. Selecting the correct number of sheaves and rope size for the load is essential; Toco can advise on the right block for your setup.
Applications
SWR reeving blocks are used across mining, construction, rigging and heavy industry for hoisting, hauling and rope redirection in demanding conditions. Toco supplies blocks, pulleys and lifting tackle nationally and across the SADC region.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single, double and treble sheave reeving blocks?
The number of sheaves sets how many rope falls the block carries. A single sheave redirects the rope; double and treble sheave blocks reeve the rope across more falls to share the load and reduce the line pull required of the winch. The right choice depends on the load and the hauling arrangement.
What end terminations can a reeving block be supplied with?
Reeving blocks are available with a forged steel hook, swivel oval eye, swivel safety shackle, or link and shackle. The termination is selected to suit the rigging on site. Toco’s team can confirm the available options for the block size you need.
Are reeving blocks suitable for harsh environments?
Yes. SWR reeving blocks are designed to cope with hostile environments such as mining and heavy construction, where dust, weather and rough handling are routine. Toco supplies blocks built for demanding industrial duty.
What size wire rope does a reeving block take?
The correct rope size depends on the block and the sheave diameter, and the right pairing is confirmed on enquiry so the rope and block are correctly matched. Contact the Toco team with your load and rope details for current options.
Does Toco certify reeving blocks?
Toco is registered as LME No. 008 and issues certification matched to the equipment class for the lifting tackle it supplies. Speak to our team about the certification and inspection your application requires.
