McKissick® SHB Split Overhaul Balls

McKissick® SHB Split Overhaul Balls are specialized lifting attachments used in heavy-duty applications to provide additional weight and stability during lifting operations. Manufactured by The Crosby Group, a trusted provider of rigging and lifting equipment, these split overhaul balls offer the advantage of easy installation and removal without the need for disassembling the wire rope.
Here are some key features and characteristics of McKissick® SHB Split Overhaul Balls:
Design: The SHB Split Overhaul Balls feature a split design, allowing them to be easily installed and removed without the need for disassembling the wire rope. They consist of two halves that can be clamped together around the wire rope, providing a secure grip.
Weight and Stability: The SHB Split Overhaul Balls are used to add weight and stability to the lifting system. They act as a counterweight, helping to reduce the load on the hoist and improve lifting efficiency. The additional weight provided by the split overhaul ball helps prevent excessive swing or movement of the load.
Installation: To install the SHB Split Overhaul Ball, the two halves are positioned around the wire rope, ensuring a proper fit. The halves are then clamped together using suitable fasteners or locking mechanisms, securing the split overhaul ball in place.
Attachment Options: The split overhaul balls are typically equipped with attachment points such as hooks or shackles for easy connection to the lifting equipment. The specific attachment method may vary depending on the model or manufacturer.
Working Load Limit (WLL): Each SHB Split Overhaul Ball is rated with a specific working load limit, indicating the maximum load it can safely handle. It is crucial to select the appropriate split overhaul ball based on the intended load requirements and the capacity of the lifting equipment being used.
Safety Considerations: As with any lifting equipment, safety is paramount. It is essential to follow proper rigging procedures, ensure secure attachment, and adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines and safety recommendations when using split overhaul balls.
Durability: McKissick® SHB Split Overhaul Balls are constructed from high-strength materials to withstand heavy loads and demanding working conditions. They are designed for durability, reliability, and long-lasting performance.
