Western T-350-B Series Manila Rope Gin Block - 1,000 lb - 1 in Manila Rope - 12 in Sheave

Product Description

Product Description: The Western T-350-B Series 1000 lb Manila Rope Gin Block is a reliable and low-maintenance rigging block designed for use with manila rope cable up to 1 inch in diameter in construction, forestry, general rigging, and field lifting applications. Gin blocks are a long-established rigging tool used to redirect rope and provide mechanical advantage in lifting and pulling operations, and the T-350-B Series combines the proven gin block design tradition with a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing for consistent performance and reduced maintenance requirements in demanding field and industrial environments. The block is rated to a 1000 lb working load limit and is well matched to light to medium rigging tasks where manila rope is the preferred or specified line material.

The 12 inch sheave outside diameter provides an exceptionally generous rope bend radius relative to the 1 inch manila rope diameter, substantially reducing rope wear and fiber fatigue during repeated use and contributing to significantly extended rope service life compared to smaller sheave configurations. The larger sheave diameter is particularly advantageous in high-cycle applications or where rope longevity is a priority, as the reduced bending stress on the rope fibers at each pass through the block helps preserve rope strength and integrity over a greater number of lifting cycles. The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing delivers consistent and reliable sheave rotation without requiring regular grease or oil application, making it a practical and low-maintenance choice for field rigging environments where maintenance access may be limited or infrequent.

The T-350-B Series gin block is designed for integration into general rigging, block and tackle, and rope-based lifting and pulling systems where a dependable light-capacity manila rope block with a large sheave diameter and low-maintenance bearing performance 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 1000 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.
