This Nautos HT 2030 LZ is a compact stand up block. Stainless steel balls run on stainless steel rails, and a full molded jacket protects the sheave. The sheave is 30 mm across and the block takes line up to 8 mm. Working load is 140.61 kg and breaking load is 498.95 kg, with a weight of 31.75 g. The open axle lets the rope be tied through, so no separate becket is needed.
Our take
The open axle lets you tie the rope straight through, and the 8 mm maximum line size means line is capped at that diameter. Its 140.61 kg working load and 31.75 g weight describe a very small block with a 30 mm sheave.
From our buying guide
Ball-bearing blocks give the lowest friction on lines running under moderate loads. Plain bearings have more friction, but handle very high and static loads.
Check before you buy:
- A ratchet block is rated for the full sheet load.
- Any becket's load limit suits the job, since a becket can be rated below the block itself.
- A soft-attach block will be looked after, since Harken warns soft attachments are prone to wear and recommends them only for regularly maintained race boats.
