Important note - break loads
Where break and safe working loads are stated, it is assumed that all sheaves are evenly loaded with a straight lead.

Loads are not given for cheek blocks or upright blocks as this is dependent on fastenings used.To ensure maximum strength and load capabilities, fastenings must pass through hollow centre rivets of cheek blocks.
