INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Inspect Before Each Use
Before each use, carefully inspect the wooden block for any signs of wear or damage, especially the swivel hook, sheaves, and the wooden shell. Look for cracks, rust, or any loose fittings. If you find any damage, replace or repair the block immediately. Regular inspection helps prevent accidents and ensures safe operation.
Use with Proper Rope Size
Ensure that you are using the correct rope size, typically manila rope, as recommended for the block. A mismatched rope could cause excessive friction, wear, or even rope failure. Always double-check the rope size to ensure compatibility with the block’s sheaves, especially if using the block in heavy-duty operations.
Don’t Exceed Working Load Limits
The working load limit is there for your safety. Never exceed it, as doing so can cause the block to fail, leading to possible damage or injury. Make sure to calculate the total load and always stay within the rated capacity of the block. Exceeding the limit could compromise the integrity of the block and other rigging equipment.
Store Properly When Not in Use
When not in use, store the wood block in a dry, clean area to avoid exposure to moisture, which could weaken the wood or lead to corrosion of the metal parts. Proper storage extends the life of the block and ensures that it remains in good working condition for future use. Store it off the ground, away from harsh elements, to maintain its durability.

FAQ
What are triple wooden shell blocks with a swivel hook used for?
Triple wooden shell blocks with swivel hooks are designed for lifting and rigging applications. These blocks can also be used for re-directing ropes, enabling smooth and efficient movement. They’re ideal for heavy-duty tasks such as towing, hoisting, and pulley systems in various industries like construction, shipping, and logistics.
Can I use these blocks with different types of rope?
Yes, these blocks are designed to work primarily with manila rope, which is strong and ideal for heavy-duty applications. However, they can also be used with other types of rope, as long as the rope diameter fits the sheave properly and ensures smooth movement through the block.
Are these blocks weather-resistant?
Our triple wooden shell blocks are built to withstand the elements. The wooden shells are varnished to provide some level of water resistance. However, exposure to extreme weather conditions over extended periods can affect the block’s performance. Always store the block in a dry, sheltered area to maintain its longevity.
How does the swivel hook improve usability?
The swivel hook allows for flexible movement and rotation of the load, making it easier to adjust the angle of the load without disconnecting the hook. This feature reduces friction and wear on the rope, providing smoother operation and improved efficiency during lifting or towing tasks.
Are these blocks customizable?
Yes, we offer custom-engineered solutions for specific requirements. If you need a block tailored to certain dimensions or materials, we can adjust the design to meet your exact needs. Just contact us to discuss your project, and we’ll provide a solution that fits your unique specifications.
What’s the difference between a single, double, and triple wooden shell block?
The key difference is the number of sheaves or wheels. A triple wooden shell block has three sheaves, which provide greater mechanical advantage, allowing you to lift heavier loads with less force. Single blocks are used for lighter applications, while double and triple blocks are for heavier tasks that require more lifting capacity.
