Description:

The OX BLOCK™ handline assembly, as a whole, can be used for human rescue. However, DO NOT USE P/N 2406 handline hook [MBS 500lbs] or handline snap [MBS 750 lbs] for human support. All components used for rescue must have a 5000 lb. rating, configured to accept human support. For rigging, ensure the weak link has a 4 to 1 safety factor. 

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

• Hurtman/self-rescue
• Lowering
• Raising
• Snubbing loads

ALSO AVAILABLE

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 greater WLLs 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
