Western HS-261B Series Manila Rope Steel Block - 2,800 lb - 7/8 to 1 in Manila Rope

Product Description

Product Description: The Western HS-261B Series 2800 lb Manila Rope Steel Block is a robust single-groove rigging block designed for use with manila rope cable from 7/8 inch up to 1 inch in diameter in general rigging, construction, marine, and industrial applications where a higher-capacity steel block is required for medium duty rope-based lifting and pulling operations. Standard steel blocks offer the durability and strength of an all-steel construction suited to demanding field and industrial rigging environments. The HS-261B Series in this configuration is rated to a 2800 lb working load limit and is well matched to medium duty rigging applications where manila rope is the preferred or specified line material and a single-groove block accommodating the larger 7/8 to 1 inch rope diameter range is required.

The single 4-3/4 inch sheave accommodates manila rope from 7/8 inch to 1 inch in diameter and provides a solid rope bend radius that helps manage rope wear and fiber fatigue during repeated use, contributing to reliable rope service life in sustained medium duty rigging applications. The sheave runs on a bronze bushing bearing, providing reliable and consistent performance in field and shop rigging environments across a range of operating conditions. The 8 inch block size accommodates the larger rope diameter range and 4-3/4 inch sheave in a manageable steel block form factor suited to medium duty rigging configurations, and the 2800 lb working load limit reflects the increased capacity associated with the larger rope diameter and sheave size in this single-groove configuration.

The HS-261B Series standard steel block in this 7/8 to 1 inch rope configuration is designed for integration into general rigging, block and tackle, and rope-based lifting and pulling systems where a dependable medium-capacity single-groove manila rope block in a steel construction is required. The block is compatible with standard rigging hardware including hooks and shackles rated to the appropriate working load limit. All connected rigging components must be rated to 2800 lb or greater, and the block must be inspected before each use in accordance with applicable lifting and rigging safety standards. Manila rope must be inspected for wear, fraying, and degradation before each use and replaced when signs of deterioration are present.
