The McKissick S-602S Flag Lead Block is a specialized wire rope lead block designed for rope guidance and load redirection applications where a flag-style mounting configuration is required. Rated for a 2-1/2-ton working load limit and compatible with wire rope cable up to 1/2 inch in diameter, this block is well suited for use in crane, winch, marine, oilfield, and general industrial systems where controlled rope lead-off direction is needed at a fixed attachment point. The flag configuration provides a side-mounted or angled attachment geometry that allows the block to be positioned for specific rope approach and departure angles not achievable with standard inline suspension blocks.
The block features a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing, which eliminates the need for regular greasing intervals while providing corrosion-resistant, dependable sheave rotation suited to marine, offshore, and field environments where maintenance access may be limited or infrequent. The steel sheave offers a durable, wear-resistant rope contact surface appropriate for wire rope applications in demanding field conditions. The 8-inch OD sheave provides a favorable bend radius for 1/2-inch wire rope, helping to preserve rope integrity and reduce fatigue during repeated rope movement cycles.
At 11.38 inches in width, the S-602S presents a compact yet robust block profile appropriate for the rated capacity and sheave size. The S-602S is part of McKissick's S-600 series lead block line, which is recognized in oilfield, marine, and industrial rigging inventories for reliable rope guidance performance in flag and specialized mounting configurations. Always confirm wire rope diameter compatibility, flag attachment point ratings, rope approach angle, and full system configuration before placing the block into service.
