What are the key safety and maintenance best practices for stringing blocks?
2025-08-08Safety is paramount in all electrical construction work. To ensure the reliability and longevity of your OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks, follow these best practices:
-
Pre-use Inspection: Always perform a thorough inspection before each use. Check for any signs of wear, cracks, or deformation on the frame, sheave, and hook fittings. Ensure the bearings spin freely.
-
Proper Sizing: The block's sheave groove must match the conductor diameter precisely to prevent slipping and damage.
-
Working Load Limit (WLL): Never exceed the rated WLL of the block. All our products are clearly marked with their WLL to ensure compliance with international safety standards.
-
Regular Lubrication: The bearings must be regularly greased to maintain smooth operation and extend the life of the block.
-
Proper Storage: Store blocks in a dry, clean environment to prevent corrosion and damage when not in use.
