Founded in 1981, iSheaves designs and manufactures stock and custom sheaves and pulleys for wire-rope and cable applications. Based in Paterson’s historic Watson Building, a metal-fabrication site dating to 1860, the company supplies sizes from 4 to 48 inches and is especially known for pioneering cast-nylon sheaves for the wire and cable industry. iSheaves also duplicates broken or obsolete sheaves from samples, drawings, or reverse-engineered specifications.
