INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Inspect Before Each Use
Always give your wooden shell block a quick check before use. Look for any cracks or wear on the swivel hook and wooden shell. If something seems off, don’t risk it—either fix it or replace it. Regular checks prevent unexpected problems and keep things running smoothly.
Don’t Overload the Block
Stick to the working load limit—don’t exceed it. Too much weight can damage the block, the hook, or the rope. Take a moment to check the working load capacity before you start, and calculate everything to ensure you’re within limits. Better safe than sorry!
Use the Right Rope
Make sure you’re using the right size rope, like Manila rope, that fits comfortably in the sheave. A rope that’s too thick or thin will wear out faster, get stuck, or affect performance. Always double-check that the rope matches the block for smooth operation.
Store It Properly
When you’re done, store the block in a dry, clean space to keep it in good shape. Moisture or dirt can mess with the wood and metal parts. A simple spot out of the weather can help prevent rust and keep your block ready for the next job.

FAQ
What’s the right rope size for these blocks?
These blocks are designed for Manila rope, typically 1/2″ to 5/8″ in diameter. Using the right size ensures smooth operation and minimizes friction or damage to both the rope and block. Always double-check the rope size before use to keep things running smoothly.
Why is the swivel hook so useful?
The swivel hook allows for easy attachment and adjustment, making it faster and safer to connect the block to ropes or cables. This flexibility reduces the time spent setting up, while providing secure connections even when adjusting the block during lifting.
How should I maintain my single wooden shell block?
-
Clean Regularly: Clean the block frequently to remove dirt, moisture, or debris.
-
Inspect for Wear or Damage: Regularly check the wooden shell and swivel hook for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
-
Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply lubrication to the moving parts as needed to keep everything running smoothly.
-
Proper Storage: Store the block in a dry place when not in use to avoid damage from moisture.
How do I know if the block is installed correctly?
Before use, double-check that the swivel hook is securely attached to the rope, and ensure the block is hanging straight. There shouldn’t be any slack in the rope, and the block should move smoothly. Always verify that the working load is within the rated limit.
What happens if I overload the block?
Overloading can lead to block failure, which could damage the wooden shell, the fittings, or the rope. It’s essential to stay within the working load limit to keep everything safe and to avoid costly repairs. Always check the block’s specifications before use.
