Western Hoist S-23B Series Wood Block - 3,800 lb - 7/8 to 1 in Manila Rope

Description du produit

Product Description: The Western Hoist S-23B Series Wood Block is a three-groove rigging block designed for manila rope and cable applications ranging from 7/8 inch to 1 inch in diameter. Built around a 4-3/4 inch outside diameter sheave with a bronze bushing bearing, this larger-format block is engineered for use in multi-part tackle systems where significant mechanical advantage is required for heavy lifting, pulling, and load-redirection tasks in marine, logging, agricultural, and general industrial environments.

Constructed with a hardwood shell, the S-23B in this configuration delivers a working load capacity of 3,800 lb and an 8-inch block length. The three-groove sheave accommodates manila rope and compatible cable from 7/8 inch up to 1 inch in diameter, allowing operators to run three rope parts through a single block to substantially increase pulling force and distribute load across multiple line segments. The bronze bushing bearing provides reliable, low-maintenance performance under sustained heavy-load conditions.

The S-23B is part of Western Hoist's wood shell block line, suited for applications where traditional rigging hardware is preferred or required. The larger 8-inch shell and 4-3/4 inch sheave make this configuration well suited for heavier rope sizes and high-capacity multi-part line arrangements. These blocks are commonly paired with complementary single- or double-groove blocks in block-and-fall systems to multiply mechanical advantage for heavy-duty rigging operations across field and shop environments.
