Western Hoist N-22B Series Wood Block - 1,800 lb - 5/8 in Manila Rope - 3 in Sheave

Product Description

Product Description: The Western Hoist N-22B Series Wood Block is a two-groove rigging block designed for manila rope and cable applications up to 5/8 inch in diameter. Built around a 3 inch outside diameter sheave with a bronze bushing bearing, this block is suited for use in two-part tackle systems where additional mechanical advantage is needed for lifting, pulling, and load-redirection tasks in marine, logging, agricultural, and general industrial environments.

Constructed with a hardwood shell, the N-22B delivers a working load capacity of 1,800 lb and a 5-inch block length. The two-groove sheave configuration allows this block to be used in compound tackle arrangements, enabling operators to run two rope parts through a single block to increase pulling force and distribute load more effectively than a single-groove block. The bronze bushing bearing provides reliable, low-maintenance performance under sustained load conditions.

The N-22B is part of Western Hoist's wood shell block line, designed for applications where traditional rigging hardware is preferred or required. These blocks are commonly used in block-and-fall systems alongside single-groove blocks to multiply mechanical advantage for medium-duty lifting and hauling operations. The 1,800 lb capacity and 5-inch shell make the N-22B a practical choice for two-part line rigging tasks in both field and shop settings.
