Crown Block is a mechanical arrangement of one or more pulleys on a common axel. It is mounted on the top of the derrick or mast. Drilling line passes over these pulleys and over the pulleys of the travelling block. This arrangement helps in hoisting or lowering the travelling block by winding or unwinding the drilling line of the Drawworks drum.
