Technical Resources

CERTEX USA provides abundant resources for tackle blocks.  

WARNING:

• A potential hazard exists when lifting or dragging heavy loads with tackle block assemblies.
• Failure to design and use tackle block systems properly may cause a load to slip or fall — the result could be serious injury or death.
• A tackle block system should be rigged by a qualified person as define by ANSI/ ASME B.30.
• Instruct workers to keep hands and body away from block sheaves and swivels — and away from “pinch points” where rope touches block parts or loads.
• Do not side load tackle blocks.
• See OSHA Rule 1926.550 (g) for Personnel Hoisting for Cranes and Derricks. Only a Crosby or McKissick Hook with a PL Latch attached, and secrued with the
  bolt, nut and cotter pin provided, may be used for any personnel hoisting. A hook with a Crosby SS-4055 Latch attached shall not be used for personnel hoisting.
• Instruct workers to be alert and to wear proper safety gear in areas where loads are moved or supported with tackle block systems.
• Use only genuine Crosby parts as replacement.
• Read, understand, and follow these instructions to select, use and maintain tackle block systems.
