6:1 Purchase System

Jimmy Green 6:1 Purchase System

All Jimmy Green Purchase System components are selected, measured, cut to length, spliced, whipped and reeved together in-house by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team.

These block and tackle systems are produced to order and, therefore, subject to splicing order lead times.

The Jimmy Green 6:1 purchase system is designed to deliver a significant power advantage for lifting heavy loads onboard by effectively dividing the weight you need to lift by a factor of 6.

Jimmy Green 6:1 Purchase System Helpful Facts and Features:

The Jimmy Green 6:1 purchase system is designed to help cope with heavy loads by effectively dividing the weight by a factor of 6.

For example, if you want to achieve a straight lift of 150kg, you will need 25kg of pulling power. If you think 25kg is unmanageable, you will either need a system with more purchase: 8:1or you will need to add some other form of physical advantage into your system, e.g. a winch.

Please note that the information above applies to a straight lift - it will take less pulling power if you only try to move a load sideways.

The top triple block features a cam cleat so that the line can be secured after each pull.

Rope Colour: white with yellow coding unless otherwise specified
