Product Description
CMI RP162 Small Aluminum Arborist Block (Made in USA)
The CMI RP162 is a true arborist rigging block that stands out for its exceptionally compact size and low weight. While rigging blocks are typically larger and heavier than pulleys due to the higher loads they manage, the RP162 delivers impressive strength in a form factor that feels closer to climbing hardware—without sacrificing its role as a dedicated rigging component.

Pro Tip:
If you want a rigging block that won’t feel oversized on smaller systems, the RP162 is a standout option. At just 16 oz with a 4,380 lb SWL, it offers an uncommon balance of strength, portability, and space efficiency for professional rigging work.
