What are the key safety standards and best practices for using stringing blocks?
2025-08-08Safety is our top priority. We manufacture our equipment to strict international standards such as ISO 9001 and provide detailed technical specifications. Best practices for safe operation include:
-
Pre-Installation Inspection: Always inspect blocks for any damage, wear, or defects before each use. The frame, sheave, bearings, and attachment points should be in perfect condition.
-
Correct Bending Radius: Use a block with a sheave diameter that ensures the conductor's bending radius is not compromised during installation, as bending too tightly can damage the cable.
-
Working Load Limit (WLL): Never exceed the specified WLL of the block.
-
Proper Attachment: Ensure the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks are securely attached to the pole or tower structure, with fittings that are appropriate for the application.
