6:1 Purchase System

6:1 block and tackle Purchase System: reeved and spliced by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team, designed to deliver a significant power advantage for lifting heavy loads onboard.

The Jimmy Green 6:1 purchase system effectively divides the weight you need to lift by a factor of 6.

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

Based on a maximum straight lift for a single person of 20kg, this purchase system is not suited for lifting loads > 120kg
