McKissick PG-566 Western Cargo Hoisting Block - Wire Rope - 1 in - 10 Ton

Product Description

 The McKissick PG-566 Western Cargo Hoisting Block is a heavy-duty wire rope block designed for high-capacity cargo hoisting, marine lifting, and industrial rigging applications requiring reliable performance with 1 in wire rope under sustained working loads. Rated at 10 Ton with a 16 in sheave outside diameter, the PG-566 shares the same capacity and sheave size as the E-566 and J-566 1 in models within the McKissick Western cargo hoisting block lineup, with the PG series designation indicating a distinct block construction or configuration suited to specific application or procurement requirements. The Western cargo hoisting block design is a proven platform used across marine, offshore, and industrial environments for cargo handling, deck operations, and heavy rigging assemblies.

The tapered roller bearing provides the mechanical performance required for sustained high-capacity hoisting service with 1 in wire rope. Engineered to carry both radial and axial thrust loads simultaneously, the tapered roller bearing ensures consistent sheave rotation under heavy tension, minimizes friction during wire rope travel, and maintains sheave alignment under the dynamic and eccentric loading conditions common in cargo hoisting applications. This bearing type is the standard choice for large-sheave, high-capacity wire rope blocks where load distribution, mechanical efficiency, and long service life are essential in demanding marine and industrial service environments.

The 16 in sheave outside diameter provides an appropriate D/d ratio for 1 in wire rope, supporting wire rope service life by minimizing bending fatigue during repeated load cycles. The PG-566 is suited for use in single or multiple part line rigging configurations depending on application requirements, available rigging hardware, and load handling needs on vessels, docks, or industrial facilities. As part of McKissick's extensive Western cargo hoisting block range, the PG-566 gives operators a further construction option within the 10 Ton, 16 in sheave, 1 in wire rope platform alongside the E-566, J-566, and QK-566 models.
