A new version of the OX BLOCK™ that features the OX HORN™ on the shackle top. With its 2” gate opening, it is designed to replace a non-rated “meat hook” currently in use by many linemen. It has a working load limit of 2500 pounds with the gate closed and a 1000 pound working load limit with the gate open.

The OX BLOCK™ is a rope snatch block with an integrated friction bar used for:

• Hurtman/self-rescue 
• Lowering
• Raising
• Snubbing loads

It allows the rigging professional to handle loads with greater control. When lowering loads, tension is transferred from the worker to the OX BLOCK™.

• The patented OX BLOCK™ replaces standard handline blocks, parted blocks and various snatch blocks.
• Has greater WLLs than blocks of similar size.
• When configured with optional pulleys, the OX BLOCK™ can be used to create a 4:1, 5:1 or 6:1 mechanical advantage reducing the amount of force needed to lift heavy loads.
• The advantage of the pulleys used by Buckingham is the swivel side plate that allows for quick and easy rope installation without removing the pulley from the connecting device.
• ASME B30 Compliant
