Holloway Houston distributes Van Beest Green Pin's block line, which guides and redirects wire rope, changing the direction of pull, and in block-and-tackle arrangements reduces the effort needed to lift a load by spreading it across multiple rope parts.
The block's internal sheave groove and tread diameter are matched to the wire rope's diameter and construction - an undersized sheave accelerates wire rope wear and fatigue, which is why Van Beest Green Pin publishes a minimum sheave-to-rope diameter ratio for its line rather than one number across all sizes.
Rated capacity on a Van Beest Green Pin block depends on its size, bearing type, and the reeving arrangement it's used in, so it's stamped on the block and shown on the tag rather than as one figure for the whole line. Multi-part reeving changes the load a given block sees relative to the load being lifted, and that relationship is published in Van Beest Green Pin's own reeving data.
Inspection programs for blocks typically look at the internal groove for wear, cracking, or a sharp or flattened profile, and check that the sheave turns freely on its bearing. Groove wear approaching the rope's own diameter is generally treated as a discard signal, and lubrication follows Van Beest Green Pin's own schedule.
