Rope Logic's X-Rigging SafeBloc Tenex Whoopie Sling 3-5 ft
The Rope Logic X-Rigging SafeBloc Tenex Whoopie Sling 3-5 ft is a professional arborist rigging tool featuring the innovative SafeBloc triple-hole thimble spliced onto an adjustable Tenex whoopie sling. Designed for strength, safety, and versatility, it reduces rigging point stress and enables efficient, controlled lowering of branches and logs during tree work.
The Rope Logic X-Rigging SafeBloc Tenex Whoopie Sling (3-5 ft) is engineered for modern arborist rigging, combining advanced friction management with robust adjustability. At its core is the SafeBloc, a lightweight, hard-coated triple-hole thimble developed by David Driver. Unlike traditional blocks or pulleys, the SafeBloc introduces additional friction at the rigging point in the tree, significantly reducing stress on the anchor and enhancing safety during lowering operations.
The adjustable whoopie sling, hand-spliced from 3/4-inch Samson Tenex rope, allows for quick and secure attachment to a wide range of anchor points, adjusting easily from 3 to 5 feet in length. The rigging line can be threaded through one, two, or all three SafeBloc holes to tailor the amount of friction for each job—no moving parts, no wear points, and no need for the climber to return to the device to make adjustments. On small-to-medium loads, the climber can even take over control of the rigging line after the ground crew, increasing operational flexibility and efficiency.
Use the SafeBloc Whoopie Sling anywhere you would use a standard arborist block for lowering. For larger loads, it is recommended to add a basal lowering device in conjunction with the SafeBloc for optimal safety.
