McKissick® 80 Series Tubing Blocks

Crosby McKissick® 80 Series Tubing Blocks are robust and reliable lifting components designed for handling tubular structures, such as pipes and casings, in various industries. These tubing blocks, manufactured by Crosby McKissick, provide a safe and efficient solution for lifting and positioning operations. Here is a description of the Crosby McKissick® 80 Series Tubing Blocks:
1. Construction: The 80 Series Tubing Blocks are constructed using high-quality materials, such as alloy steel, ensuring strength, durability, and resistance to demanding working conditions. They are designed to withstand the weight and stress associated with lifting tubular structures. The blocks feature a compact and sturdy design that allows for easy installation and efficient operation.
2. Design: The tubing blocks consist of a heavy-duty body or frame that houses one or more sheaves. The sheaves are specifically designed to accommodate the size and shape of the tubing being lifted. They are machined and grooved to ensure smooth and controlled movement of the tubing. The design of the blocks provides proper alignment and support for the tubing during lifting operations.
3. Sheave and Bearing: The sheaves in the 80 Series Tubing Blocks are carefully designed to match the specific diameter and shape of the tubing. They are equipped with high-quality bearings to facilitate smooth rotation and reduce friction. The sheaves and bearings are designed to distribute the load evenly and minimize wear on the tubing. They provide reliable and efficient operation, ensuring the safety and integrity of the lifting process.
4. Load Capacity: Each 80 Series Tubing Block is rated for a specific load capacity, which is clearly marked on the product. It is crucial to select the appropriate block size and load capacity based on the diameter and weight of the tubing being lifted. Overloading the block can compromise safety and lead to equipment failure. Load capacities for these blocks can range from several tons to several hundred tons, depending on the model and size.
5. Attachment Points: The tubing blocks are equipped with attachment points, such as a swivel eye or hook, to facilitate easy and secure connection to lifting equipment or rigging components. These attachment points are designed to ensure proper alignment and secure engagement during lifting operations. They provide flexibility in rigging configurations and allow for efficient and safe lifting of the tubing.
6. Application: Crosby McKissick® 80 Series Tubing Blocks are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, construction, and mining, where handling and positioning of tubular structures are required. These blocks are suitable for various applications, including well drilling and completion operations, pipe handling, and offshore installations. They provide a reliable and efficient solution for lifting and maneuvering tubular components.
7. Compliance: Crosby McKissick manufactures its products to meet or exceed industry standards and regulations. The 80 Series Tubing Blocks are designed and tested to comply with relevant safety and performance standards for lifting equipment. It is crucial to use these blocks in accordance with applicable standards and guidelines to ensure safe and effective operation.
Please note that specific technical specifications, load capacities, and other details may vary depending on the model and size of the Crosby McKissick® 80 Series Tubing Blocks. For detailed product information and specific application guidelines, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer or a trusted supplier.
