Product Description
Skookum SK-4M Utili-Sheave Block – 4" Manganese Sheave
The Skookum SK-4M Utili-Sheave Block is a compact, rugged block designed for reliable performance in light to mid-duty rigging applications. Featuring a 4" work-hardening manganese steel sheave with ball bearings, it maximizes both rope and sheave life while providing smooth, low-friction operation. Its full-sided construction and cast aluminum alloy body offer excellent protection for the sheave and rope, all while keeping the block lightweight and easy to handle. Built for 3/8" wire rope with a 3-ton working load limit, the SK-4M is a proven choice for arborists, utilities, and general rigging work. Other attachment variations (swivel hook or swivel shackle) are available by request.
