IMPACT BLOCK (SMALL)
The Small Impact Block is small by name, small by nature (relatively speaking) yet still big in strength. With a massive Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 200kN and a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 40kN, it is incredibly strong, yet can almost be carried around on a harness. Designed for use in any industry when loads may be dropped onto rigging with considerable impact forces. The combination of high quality materials and advanced production processes has ensured a rope friendly, durable and robust product. During development, Impact Blocks have passed demanding dynamic, torsion and static testing regimes. The end result is a highly functional product with an incredible strength to weight ratio. These blocks were made to tolerate large forces and look good.
Features
- Rounded edges to cheekplates maintain low rope abrasion when rope is fed ‘unfair’
- Upper sheave opens via a threaded locking axle for added security
- Thrust surfaces increase tolerance to external loading of spindle and anchor pin
- Lightweight attachment sling facilitates hauling of block, sling and rope to the climber and helps with handling, in tree stowage and workshop storage
- Direct connection to cordage, the anchor slings helps ensure correct neighbour component compatibility
- High efficiency oilite bushings to reduce friction
