INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Use Only for Intended Lifting Purposes
Ensure that the wooden block with hook is used exclusively for its intended lifting tasks, such as hoisting materials or for light-duty lifting. It is designed to work with Manila rope, so using it with incompatible ropes can cause failure. Always check that the block is correctly matched to the rope size and working load limit (WLL).
Never Exceed the Working Load Limit
The working load limit (WLL) of the wooden block is typically 1000 lbs (0.5 tons). It’s crucial not to exceed this limit, as doing so could cause the block or rope to fail, leading to injury or damage. Always calculate the load carefully and ensure that the lifting task stays within the block’s capacity.
Inspect the Block Before Use
Always inspect the wooden block and hook before use. Check for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage to the hook, latch, or the wooden shell. If you find any issues, such as cracks in the wood or a weakened hook, replace or repair the block before using it again. Proper inspection ensures the safety and longevity of the block.
Proper Storage & Maintenance
After use, store the wooden block in a dry area to prevent damage from moisture, which can cause the wood to degrade or the metal fittings to rust. Regularly lubricate the hook’s moving parts and the bronze bushings to ensure smooth operation. Also, ensure the block is properly hung or secured to prevent any accidental drops when not in use.

OUR REVIEWS
FAQ
Can I use the wooden block with hook for heavy lifting?
Yes, our wooden blocks with hooks are designed for medium-duty lifting. While they are ideal for Manila rope and smaller applications, they are rated for up to 1000 lbs (0.5 tons). For heavier lifting tasks, we recommend considering more robust blocks, but for most standard applications, they provide excellent reliability and strength.
What type of rope should I use with these blocks?
Our wooden blocks with hooks are designed for use with Manila rope, but they can also work with other types of natural fiber ropes. The sheave diameter and rope size compatibility ensure smooth and safe operation. Make sure to choose a rope that fits within the specifications to avoid overloading the block or causing damage.
Is the wooden block with hook suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, our wooden block with hook is designed for outdoor use. The galvanized fittings and bronze bushings ensure durability against the elements. Whether you’re working on a construction site, or need it for maritime applications, this block can handle harsh conditions, provided you maintain it properly after exposure to water or salt.
What are the benefits of using a wooden block with hook instead of a metal one?
Wooden blocks with hooks offer a traditional aesthetic and can be lighter than metal blocks, making them easier to handle in certain applications. The wood shell also provides a more gentle grip on ropes, preventing unnecessary wear. Additionally, they are often preferred for decorative or historical purposes in some industries, such as maritime.
How do I know if my wooden block with hook is damaged?
Inspect the wooden block for any visible cracks, chips, or signs of wear on the wood shell. Check the swivel hook for rust or damage to the latch. Ensure the bronze bushings are lubricated and working smoothly. If the working load limit (WLL) is being exceeded, it can also cause damage, so always stay within the rated load capacity.
Can I replace the hook on the wooden block?
The wooden blocks with hooks are designed with drop-forged fittings for durability, but the hook itself can be replaced if needed. If you require a different hook style or size, we can offer customization options. Always ensure the new hook is compatible with the block’s specifications to ensure safe use.
Are the fittings on the wooden block customizable?
Yes, we offer customization for the fittings on the wooden block. You can opt for a swivel hook with latch, shackles, or other fitting types based on your specific needs. We also offer different finishes for the wood shell, such as varnish or oil to enhance durability and aesthetic appeal. Reach out to our team for more customization options.
