Match the Rope and Sheave
Provide the wire rope diameter and construction with the required sheave arrangement. DY lists a rope diameter for each size; LH/LS list rope-diameter ranges. Read those values with the exact model and load entry.
Specify the Rope Path and Connecting Load
Include the line pull, direction of the incoming and outgoing rope, and attachment layout. The load imposed on a block depends on that rope path. State the required block load separately from line pull when requesting a rating review.
Choose the End Fitting
A hook, eye, and shackle connection have different interface requirements. Include the supporting connection and available space. Keep the full fitting designation when identifying an existing block.
