OxBlock- The ultimate lifting and lowering solution

28 Sep, 2020

The OX BLOCK™ is a rope snatchblock with an integrated friction bar used for:

  • Raising and lowering Equipment (Hauling Line Block)
  • Rescue
  • Snubbing loads - It allows the rigging professional to handle loads with greater control. When lowering loads, tension is transferred from the worker to the OX BLOCK™.
  • The patented OX BLOCK™ replaces standard handline blocks, parted blocks and various snatch blocks.
  • Has a greater WLL than blocks of similar size.
  • When configured with optional pulleys, the OX BLOCK™ can be used to create a 4:1, 5:1 or 6:1 mechanical advantage reducing the amount of force needed to lift heavy loads.
  • The advantage of the pulleys used by Buckingham is the swivel side plate that allows for quick and easy rope installation without removing the pulley from the connecting device.
  • ASME B30 Compliant

Using combinations of the OxBlock equipment, there are numerous applications to the lifting, lowering, rescue and weight reduction of equipment.
