Description
Series 60 Ultimate Ratchet – Single
The extruded hole design, in conjunction with the groove profile of the sheave, provides a more powerful grip than conventional designs – up to 20:1 holding power. Unrivaled low weight is achieved by the use of a Torlon® ratchet pawl, high grade machined alloy sheave and black Acetal hubs and bearings.
