The Material Handling Omni brings heavy-duty rigging to the Omni family with a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 4500 lbf. In addition, the block features a prusik minding side plate, and push-button access to open the side plate to install rope. The Omni-Block combines a swivel and pulley into one tool and incorporates a unique side plate that opens while the pulley is still attached to the anchor. Traditionally, a pulley is connected to a swivel by a carabiner. However, the Omni eliminates the need for the carabiner, reducing length and pieces of equipment in the rigging system. The short length of the Omni is important when used in high-angle, confined space or other space-sensitive rigging environments. The reduced weight of the Omni will make hauling your gear easier. Additionally, the Omni side plate can be opened without detaching from the carabiner. Traditional pulleys require removing from the carabiner to change the rope. With the Omni, the user is able to do this while the pulley is still secured. Whether used in a hoisting system with a capstan winch or in general industrial rigging, this rigging block provides a high-strength and lightweight solution needed for tower climbers and industrial riggers and is now available in two sizes! Features: Install and remove rope while still connected to the anchor Sideplate locks with a two-stage, double-catch safety mechanism Integrated swivel allows the pulley to orient while reducing the gain Connect, install and remove rope with one hand CNC machined for optimal weight & strength
