McKissick Wire Rope Sheave - Blk - Manila Rope - 7/8 in - 4-1/4 in GALVI

Product Description

The McKissick Old Style Block Sheave is a traditional single-sheave block designed for use with manila rope in agricultural, marine, and general-purpose rigging applications where natural fiber rope remains the preferred or required line material. Compatible with manila rope up to 7/8 inch in diameter and featuring a 4-1/4-inch sheave outside diameter, this block provides reliable rope guidance and load redirection in applications ranging from barn and farm rigging to small vessel deck work and general utility lifting. The sheave groove profile is sized and shaped to suit the round, fibrous cross-section of manila rope, ensuring proper rope seating and minimizing wear during operation.

The block features a plain bore bearing, a simple and robust bearing design well suited to the low-speed, moderate-load conditions typical of traditional manila rope rigging applications. The plain bore construction is straightforward to maintain and well proven in agricultural and general utility block applications where simplicity and reliability are valued over high-speed performance. The galvanized iron sheave construction provides corrosion resistance appropriate for outdoor, agricultural, and marine environments where exposure to moisture is a regular factor.

McKissick's Old Style block sheave line reflects the company's long history of manufacturing blocks for both traditional and industrial applications. These blocks are well suited to farm, barn, dock, and general utility rigging where manila rope tackle systems remain in use. As with all rigging components, the rope, block, and all attachment hardware should be matched in working load rating and rope diameter compatibility to ensure safe and effective operation.
