Important note - break loads 

• Where break and safe working loads are stated, it is assumed that all sheaves are evenly loaded as in a purchase tackle. Uneven loading, or loading of one sheave in a double or triple block, will severely affect strength quoted. If unsure, please seek further assistance.
• Maximum rolling load on ball bearing blocks is the maximum free running load before ball bearings will distort.
