The McKissick HF-5 Hay Fork Pulley Block is a heavy-duty pulley block designed specifically for hay fork and hay trolley applications, as well as general agricultural and light industrial hoisting where a reliable, smooth-running block is required. Built to handle a 2 Ton working load, the HF-5 features roller bearing sheaves that provide low-friction rope travel, reducing wear on both the wire rope and sheave groove during repeated load cycles. The hay fork series designation indicates this block is configured for the specific attachment and rigging requirements of hay handling systems, including barn hay trolley tracks and fork rigging setups.
Featuring an 8 in sheave outside diameter and a maximum cable capacity of 1/2 in wire rope, the HF-5 is sized for the rope diameters commonly used in agricultural hoisting and hay fork systems. The roller bearing design ensures smooth sheave rotation under load, which is particularly important in hay fork applications where the block may cycle frequently throughout the workday. The large sheave diameter relative to the rope size maintains a favorable D/d ratio, helping to preserve wire rope integrity and extend rope service life under repeated bending.
McKissick's HF-5 Hay Fork series is engineered for the demands of agricultural hoisting environments, where reliable performance, ease of use, and durability under repetitive cycling are essential. These blocks are commonly used in barn hay trolley systems, hay elevator rigging, and general farm hoisting applications. The roller bearing sheave provides consistent performance across a wide range of load conditions and is well suited for the frequent cycling typical of hay handling operations.
