Which assembly includes front, rear, and absorber components?

• A. Sheave Assembly
• B. Energy absorbers
• C. Cross deck pendant
• D. Anchoring components

Answer: (A)

The main idea is identifying which unit is built from a guiding wheel plus the protective and dampening parts that surround it. A sheave assembly is designed to guide a line or cable over a wheel, and it includes end components that hold the wheel in place (front and rear end plates or caps) as well as an absorber to dampen shocks and reduce peak loads on the rope and hardware as the line interacts with the wheel. This combination—the wheel with its end supports and the energy-absorbing element integrated into or attached to the assembly—is typical of a complete sheave assembly. The other options refer to components that serve different roles and don’t inherently combine front and rear framing with an absorber as part of the same unit. Energy absorbers themselves are distinct devices, cross deck pendants are line arrangements across a deck, and anchoring components are hardware used to secure equipment rather than a single integrated unit with front, rear, and absorber parts. So, the assembly that includes front, rear, and absorber components is the one built around a guiding wheel—the sheave assembly.
