{"product_id":"12-in-gin-block-with-wheel-gb1000","title":"12 in. Gin Block with Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gin block is a single-sheave rope block used to hoist buckets of mortar, brick, block and tools to a working level. The grooved wheel turns on a central axle inside a steel frame, and a top hook or shackle lets the block be hung from a scaffold frame, a beam clamp, a davit or a gin pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRope is reeved over the wheel and hauled from the ground, either by hand or through a powered hoist, so material can be lifted straight up the face of a building without carrying it on a ladder. The deep groove keeps natural or synthetic fibre rope seated in the sheave and reduces chafe against the side plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGin blocks are consumable jobsite rigging and should be treated as such: keep the sheave turning freely, check the frame and hanging point for distortion or wear, and match the rope diameter to the wheel groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-sheave block with a grooved wheel that carries fibre or synthetic hoisting rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel frame with side plates that retain the rope in the sheave groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverhead hanging point for attachment to scaffold tube, beam clamp, davit arm or gin pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheel rotates on a central axle to reduce friction and rope wear during hoisting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually so blocks can be added as a hoisting setup is expanded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoisting mortar tubs, brick and block to masonry scaffold levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaising tools, buckets and small materials to upper floors during construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChimney, parapet and facade repair work from a gin pole or davit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoofing and restoration jobs where material must be lifted up a building face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral jobsite rigging where a simple rope-over-wheel hoist is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gin block (single-sheave rope block)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grooved wheel on central axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ARCH Building Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55112698528083,"sku":"GB1000","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/12-in-gin-block-with-wheel-gb1000.webp?v=1790734540","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/products\/12-in-gin-block-with-wheel-gb1000","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
