Wire rope block reviews?

DAVIDSTECKER · Jan 16, 2023

Due to the on-going supply chain issues, I am looking at using a brand of wire rope block that I am not familiar with.
The company I am going get it from is one I've worked with for many years, but I wanted to get others thoughts on the brand.
The brand is called "RopeBlock" out of the Neirthlands.
Best regards, David

The best wire comes form that company in South Africa. There aren't many suppliers. The hardware gets certified so use whatever is available.

Thanks for the feedback TugboatEng.
I don't know what's going on with Crosby, but it's messing up a lot of people.

You can always do your own testing if quality is a concern. Crosby is a very highly regarded company.

Tug, they put me between a rock and hard spot with their deliveries.
I've had what I wanted on order for at least 3-4 months now and they still aren't going to ship until March.
Everything was based on their stated lead times when the order was placed.
Fortunately, I trust my supplier to provide quality products.
