FAQs
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this pulley block?
The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this Ace Treble Wooden Pulley Block is 1 Ton (approximately 1000 kg).
What size wire rope should I use with this block?
This pulley block is designed specifically for use with 16MM diameter wire rope.
Does it come with a test certificate?
Yes, a test certificate is included and will be sent via email after purchase, confirming the product's specifications and safety compliance.
What are the main components of this pulley block?
It features a varnished wooden shell, a galvanized hook, three sheaves, and a built-in becket.
Is this pulley block suitable for marine use?
The galvanized hook and fittings offer corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many outdoor and some marine applications, provided it is properly cared for and not exposed to harsh corrosive elements continuously.
How do I attach the rope to the becket?
The becket is a loop or eye integrated into the block's frame. You can tie off a rope end to this becket, or use it as an attachment point for another rope or securing mechanism.
Can I use this for heavy-duty industrial applications?
While robust, its design with a wooden shell is best suited for moderate loads and applications where its specific features are beneficial. For continuous, high-cycle industrial use, all-metal or specialized industrial blocks might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Rope appears to snag or not run smoothly.
Ensure the correct 16MM wire rope is being used. Check that the rope is not twisted or damaged. Inspect the sheave path for any obstructions or debris.
Hook shows signs of corrosion.
Clean the hook with a dry cloth. If corrosion is minor, it may be superficial. For significant corrosion, consider replacing the block to maintain safety standards.
Wooden shell appears dry or dull.
Apply a light coat of wood polish or varnish suitable for outdoor use to restore its appearance and protect the wood. Allow it to dry completely before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the pulley block, attach the galvanized hook securely to your load or anchor point. Thread the 16MM wire rope through the sheave system according to your lifting or redirection needs. Ensure the rope runs smoothly without fouling.
Compatibility: This pulley block is specifically designed for use with 16MM wire rope. Using ropes of different diameters may compromise safety and performance.
Care: Regularly inspect the wooden shell for any signs of damage or wear. Keep the galvanized components clean and dry when not in use to prevent corrosion. Periodically check that the sheaves rotate freely. Avoid exposing the wooden parts to prolonged moisture or direct sunlight to maintain their condition. Lubrication of the sheave axle is generally not required due to its sealed design, but consult the test certificate for any specific recommendations.
