INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Check Before Use
Always inspect the block and swivel hook before using it. Look for any signs of wear or damage, especially on the wood shell and metal parts. If you spot rust, cracks, or anything unusual, don’t use it. Get it replaced or repaired to avoid safety risks.
Stay Within the Working Load Limit
Never exceed the safe working load limit. Putting too much weight on the block can cause the wood to crack or damage the fittings. Always make sure your load is within the recommended weight range before lifting. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
Keep It Lubricated
Regularly lubricate the swivel hook and moving parts. This reduces friction and keeps everything working smoothly. Without proper lubrication, the parts wear out faster, and the block won’t perform as well.
Proper Storage
When not in use, store the block in a clean, dry place. Don’t leave it outside or in a damp spot where moisture can damage the wood and metal. Proper storage will help keep your block in good shape for the long run.

FAQ
How do I maintain my double wooden shell blocks?
-
Regular Cleaning
Clean the block regularly to remove dirt, debris, and moisture. This prevents buildup that could cause friction or damage to the components. -
Lubricate Moving Parts
Lubricate the moving parts, particularly the swivel hook, to keep them operating smoothly. This reduces friction and helps prolong the block’s life. -
Check for Wear
Inspect the block for any signs of wear or damage, especially on the swivel hook and fittings. Address any issues immediately to avoid potential failure. -
Proper Storage
Always store the block in a dry, clean place when not in use. This protects it from moisture, rust, and environmental damage.
Can I use double wooden shell blocks with any type of rope?
Yes, but they work best with manila ropes. Always make sure the rope matches the block’s specifications to ensure optimal performance and avoid friction or damage to the block.
What makes wooden shell blocks better than metal ones?
Wooden shell blocks are lighter, quieter, and offer a traditional look while still being durable. They’re also resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in outdoor settings or harsh environments.
What’s the difference between single and double wooden shell blocks?
Double wooden shell blocks provide more mechanical advantage and are better suited for heavier loads. The extra sheave improves efficiency, reduces friction, and ensures smoother rope movement.
What does the 4:1 design factor mean?
The 4:1 design factor means that the block is designed to handle up to four times its rated working load, providing an extra safety margin. This ensures you can rely on the block even in tough situations.
