Product Description

CMI RP160 Aluminum Arborist Block (Made in USA)

The CMI RP160 is a compact, high-strength aluminum arborist block designed for efficient rigging and controlled lowering in professional tree work. Built from high-strength aluminum with an aluminum alloy sheave riding on an Oilite bronze bushing, it delivers smooth rope travel in a lightweight, space-efficient design.

  • MBS: 51,000 lbs
  • SWL: 10,200 lbs
  • Sheave Diameter: 2.195"
  • Max Rope Diameter: 3/4"
  • Weight: 2 lb 15 oz
  • Body Material: High-strength aluminum
  • Sheave Material: Aluminum alloy
  • Sheave Mechanics: Oilite bronze bushing
  • Dimensions (W x H x Depth): 2.890" x 5.870" x 2.687" (sideplate to sideplate)

Well suited for redirects, compact lowering systems, and situations where high working load capacity is needed without the bulk of a larger block or pulley.

Pro Tip:

Blocks like the RP160 excel in tight rigging setups where minimizing hardware size matters. Pair with properly rated connectors and always plan around the 10,200 lb SWL, not the breaking strength.
