REEVING Meaning and Definition

  1. Reeving refers to a mechanical process commonly associated with ropes, pulleys, and hoisting systems. In this context, reeving involves the threading or passing of a rope or line through a series of pulleys, blocks, or sheaves to create a mechanical advantage. It is an essential step in setting up and operating various lifting or pulling mechanisms, enabling individuals to move heavy loads more effectively.

    Reeving is often used in industries such as construction, maritime operations, and transportation, where the manipulation of heavy objects is required. By properly reeving a system, the force applied to a rope or line can be multiplied, allowing a person to lift or move loads that would otherwise be too heavy or cumbersome to handle manually.

    The process of reeving typically involves carefully aligning the rope with the appropriate sheaves, correctly positioning pulleys, and ensuring that the rope passes smoothly through the system without any obstructions or entanglements. It requires a certain level of skill and understanding of mechanical systems to reeve properly, as any errors or misalignments may compromise the efficiency and safety of the entire operation.

    Reeving is a fundamental technique used in rigging, cranes, winches, and other hoisting systems, where the successful reeving of ropes determines the smooth operation and control of heavy loads.
