LOFT BLOCKS

Loft blocks are used in groups for raising or lowering pipe battens. Lift lines reeve from the pipe batten around the loft block and toward the head block. Loft blocks may also be used singly or spotted on the grid for special applications.

We offer underhung, upright and idler loft blocks.

HEAD BLOCKS

Head blocks are located at the upper portion of the counterweight system above the arbor. The purpose of the head block is to gather all the lift lines from the loft blocks and reeve them toward the arbor top. The head block sheave also contains a purchase line groove to enable the operator to raise and lower a balanced set. Three styles are available to suit a variety of mounting conditions.

We offer underhung , upright and double purchase head blocks.

ROPE LOCKS

Rope locks are designed to position a balanced batten. While the device is designed to hold a
maximum 50 pound imbalance, it should not be used as a holding device for out-of-balance sets or as a speed control device

ARBORS

An arbor is a carriage that is designed to hold counterweights to balance the load on a pipe batten. Once an arbor is loaded properly, it can be raised or lowered with a minimum amount of effort. Arbors are available in many styles depending on the application and budgetary concerns.

We offer tee guide arbors, wire guide arbors, lattice rack arbors and more
