Skookum R-Series offers both wide throat and Utili-Sheave.
A wide throat makes it much easier to pull a variety of line, connecting links, or oversized line conditions.
Wide manganese steel Utili-Sheaves work harder and last longer.
These blocks are the choice of operators for heavy-duty work. Built with no superfluous weight but a big reserve of strength and ruggedness.
- R-4 block has straight roller bearings.
- R-6, R-8, R-10 blocks have long life Timken Bearings.
- Yokes and yoke pins are forged and heat-treated alloy steel.
- Block Sides are the frame of the block. The unique shape fenders the rim of the sheave providing maximum protection from line jamming while minimizing weight, which are both critical to performance.
- Working loads from 5 tons to 9 ton
