Harken V Block 6.5T Wide
This aluminum V Block is engineered for Grand-Prix racing and other high-load rigging applications requiring reliable load distribution and precise directional control. The block combines machined aluminum cheeks with an advanced bearing system that merges axial and thrust bearings into a single set of angled titanium rollers, ensuring smooth rotation and extended service life under demanding marine conditions.
Key Features
6.5-ton (6,500 kg / 14,300 lb) maximum working load capacity
13,000 kg (28,600 lb) breaking load for safety margin
Machined aluminum cheeks with titanium sheave and captive titanium roller bearing system
Sheave diameter: 82 mm (3 1/4 in)
Accommodates up to 16 mm (5/8 in) line diameter
Soft attachment mounting: primary support loop or lashing passes through the block's mouth (loop/lashing sold separately)
Secondary lashing required to keep the block aligned
Easy disassembly for inspection and maintenance
Maintenance includes regular inspection, annual replacement of support loops and lashing lines (sooner if worn, UV-damaged, or fatigued), and periodic flushing of the bearing system with light greasing limited to the sheave's inner race — not the rollers — to ensure optimal performance and longevity in saltwater environments.
