Crane hook block with sheaves

Engineers design an exceptionally sturdy crane hook block to hold firmly onto a hand-forged steel DIN hook, complete with a critical safety latch. The sturdy device can manage loads of up to eight tons (though overloads of ten tons may be feasible) by leveraging a high-strength thrust ball bearing. A heavy-duty C60E steel traverse forms the base, reinforced further by robust cast steel sheaves that securely rest on precision-crafted dual ball bearings with part numbers 6308. Maintaining these crucial elements requires regular lubrication via two strategically placed grease nipples for prolonged operation. Meanwhile, a compact 4mm thick half-open steel sheet shield encases all this heavy-duty hardware to safeguard the delicate rope from potential damage or harm - and the corresponding high-strength steel cable employed is precision-made according to strict DIN specifications (class: 6x19; code designation: 655), boasting an imposing nominal diameter of no less than 20 millimeters.
