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
