Selection & safe use
Block WLL limits the total force on the block and its attachment, which depends on line tension and rigging geometry. It is not a direct winch line-pull rating. Crosby specifies four parts of line for this double-sheave model.
These specifications cover wire rope. Do not assume compatibility with AmSteel-Blue or other synthetic ropes. Verify the rope, sheave, attachment and complete rigging arrangement for the application, and follow Crosby's inspection and operating instructions.
