Housing

• Synthetic case works with the frame to dissipate and absorb shock if dropped or struck by objects

Construction

• Isolated drum keeps all brake components contaminate-free
• All parts are corrosion resistant
• Mechanical parts are not dependent on the integrity of the housing

Brake Mechanism

• Twin stainless steel disc brakes with copper/alloy coil in the centre (all parts are anti-spark)
• Twin inertia and speed-activated brake pawls are designed to activate and engage at the same time. This design compensates against gravitational effects when the block is used horizontally. As a result, the braking system of the blocfor® offers faster reaction

Design

• Features a carabiner-positioning washer
• Rubber stop which is easy to take in hand and acts as a buffer when cable is accidentally released (high-speed recoil)
• Reinforced plastic rope guide is designed for high wear resistance, low cost and easy maintenance
• Swivel self-locking snap hook has a visual fall indicator to allow inspection before each use
