Dutch Military Surplus Mennens 6.4 Metric Ton Shackle Block, Used

Dutch Military Surplus Mennens 6.4 Metric Ton Shackle Block, Used

This Dutch Military Issue Mennens Steel Shackle Block is the same kind used in heavy-duty vehicle recovery operations, as well as hoisting massive objects (like engine blocks). Mennens has existed as a global name in hoisting and pulling systems since 1988. This is a cool collectible that's tough enough for real work in your shop (or on the trail), ready to last for the rest of your life and probably the next generation, too. For Military Self-Recovery: This style of Block is standard equipment in many tactical vehicles, as it allows a vehicle stuck in mud to exert twice its winch's rated force to overcome suction. For Winch Redirection: This Block can be used to route a winch line around obstacles (like trees or rocks) while maintaining the correct pulling angle. For Industrial Hoisting: This Block can be attached to crane lines to stabilize and lift very heavy pieces of machinery or other components.
