Tower/Derrick Hoist Blocks
-
New design provides the dependability of standard McKissick® Snatch Blocks, along with features that make it perfect for the challenging needs of Tugger Hoist and Tower Erection applications.
-
Fully recessed sideplate design eliminates gap between sheave rim and sideplate, providing failsafe capture of the sheave in the case of center pin overloading.
-
Sealed tapered roller bearings extend the life of the center pin and bearings, and allows for faster line speeds than recommended with standard snatch blocks.
-
Holes through side plates are available for secondary block securement device.
Suitable for hoisting personnel, contingent upon all employees, including the winch operator, being trained to follow applicable Federal, local and industry standards.
-
Tugger/Derrick applications: API RP54
-
Tower applications: OSHA directive CPL 2-1.36

Wire Rope Lubricant
Vitalife®
Vitalife® products are the preferred wire rope lubricants in the industry because of their ability to penetrate into wire rope and displace water and contaminants, thus reducing wear and corrosion throughout the rope.
-
Available in a variety of container sizes.
-
Provides inner strand preservation and lubricity.
-
Allows for easy visual inspection of the ropes.
-
Reduces the friction between the strands of the wire rope, thus extending rope life.
-
Adheres to surface of strands, forming an outer film which provides excellent corrosive protection.
-
Non-tacky (will not attract dust)
-
Vitalife® in aerosol form is a regulated dangerous good
-
Vitalife® Bio-Lube has been developed especially for environmentally friendly applications.
-
Vitalife® 500 has been developed exclusively for ski lifts and tramways.

CORRECT NOMINAL DIAMETER MEASURING
Ref: API 9A Test on Rope for Diameter
Nominal Diameter
Diameter measurements shall be taken on a straight portion of rope, either under no tension or a tension not exceeding 5 % of the minimum breaking force, at two positions spaced at least 1 m apart.
At each position, two measurements, at right angles, of the circumscribed circle diameter shall be taken.
The measuring equipment shall extend over at least two adjacent strands.
The average of these four measurements shall be the measured diameter.
