Strong, durable and economical blocks with a unique captive lock universal head fitting that allows the blocks to be fixed in either of two planes, or to swivel freely.

Loads are transferred directly from the sheave axle to the head post by the one-piece 316 stainless steel load straps. Hi-load (Model 160932) is wire rope-compatible.
