Western HS-302B Series Manila Rope Steel Shell Block - 1,600 lb - 1/2 in Manila Rope - 4 in Sheave

Product Description

Product Description: The Western HS-302B Series 1600 lb Manila Rope Steel Shell Block is a compact and durable double-groove rigging block designed for use with manila rope cable up to 1/2 inch in diameter in general rigging, construction, marine, and industrial applications where multi-part line reeving and increased mechanical advantage are required in a lightweight and manageable block. Steel shell blocks offer the durability and strength of an all-steel construction in a compact form factor well suited to a wide range of field and shop rigging tasks. The HS-302B Series is rated to a 1600 lb working load limit and is well matched to light to medium duty rigging applications where manila rope is the preferred or specified line material and a double-groove configuration is required for block and tackle arrangements.

The two 2-1/4 inch sheave grooves allow this block to be used in multi-part line reeving arrangements, enabling greater mechanical advantage and increased effective lifting capacity when configured in a block and tackle system. The sheaves run on self-lubricating bronze bushing bearings, a proven and low-maintenance bearing solution well suited to field rigging environments where regular lubrication may not always be practical. Self-lubricating bronze bushings deliver consistent performance across a range of operating conditions, resist corrosion, and provide reliable service life in both indoor and outdoor applications without requiring frequent maintenance intervention. The compact 4 inch block size makes the HS-302B Series easy to handle and well suited to rigging configurations where space is limited or a lightweight double-groove block is preferred, while the higher 1600 lb working load limit compared to single-groove configurations reflects the increased capacity enabled by the double-groove reeving arrangement.

The HS-302B Series steel shell block is designed for integration into general rigging, block and tackle, and rope-based lifting and pulling systems where a dependable light to medium capacity double-groove manila rope block in a compact steel shell configuration 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 1600 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.
