Product Description

Each lift line in the rigging system requires a loft block to direct the wire rope lift line from a batten over to the head block. Thern Stage Equipment loft blocks feature side plates and mounting angles integrated into one solid side piece with a turned Nylatron sheave. Standard options are available in either sequential multi groove or single groove with 2” idlers, while sealed precision ball and tapered roller bearings are also available.

Designed and engineered to last, our stage loft rigging blocks are made from heavy-duty materials. We guarantee consistent service life for your Thern Stage Equipment loft block by offering a two-year limited warranty to make sure that you’re 100% satisfied.
