From its unique and doubly secure interlocking anchor bollard to the highly efficient oversized ball bearings, this is a block with a difference. Designed to combine lightweight and compact with high performance, the DMM Impact Block XS will become your best friend for redirect rigging, winching and snatching stem wood. In addition to highly evolved fairlead flares, the sheave is integrated with the side plates to ensure seamless transitions for your rigging line, while the all-new hollow axle design facilitates complex rigging configurations and allows for maintenance such as servicing of the bearings or replacement of the sheave. Validated for long term use in the toughest of environments with the most demanding of operators, robustness and resilience are already proven.
