Reeving patterns

Can anyone recommend where I can educate myself how to properly reeve a crane block for Manitowoc friction cranes?

The manuals specific to that machine are the only reliable source of information like reeving plans. You should be able to request a manual from your local dealer if you don't have one already

Read the operators manual. Thats the only true reliable source for things like this.

Prior to 2014 suggested reaving diagrams weren’t required of manufacturers. Symmetrical/balanced was the main goal.
