The OX BLOCK™ is a rope snatchblock 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 Clevis top allows for easy change out of accessories such as slings.

• 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
