60160 - Barton Marine Barton Stanchion Ratchet Block

Stanchion Ratchet Block

Controlling the Power in Furling lines!

This Stanchion Ratchet Block is ideal for removing some of the loadings for the crew when furling in the jib. The ratchet means that the sheave can be locked in place in one direction offering a friction brake against the pull of the sail. It is quick and simple to fit onto a standard 25mm (1”) guard rail stanchion. Adjustment is easy with the stainless steel clamping ring which allows mounting of the block at any angle.

The Barton ball-bearing Ratchet Block is designed to be used online up to 10mm (3/8”). The block is a high-performance 55mm (2 3/16”) ratchet block and features a stainless-steel lever that locks the swivel head if desired.

Designed with ball bearings for low friction and longevity in harsh marine environments, the Ratchet Block body is manufactured from a composite of high-density nylon and glass fiber reinforced polymer with a high level of UV protection. Internal components are of marine grade 316 stainless steel and the 12-faced aluminum sheave is anodized in gunmetal silver.

Specifications:

• Length: 120mm/4-3/4"
• Maximum Line: 10mm/3/8"
• Width: 55mm/2-3/16"
• Tube Size: 25mm/1"

The Barton Stanchion Ratchet Block is a specialized maritime pulley designed to manage load on furling lines, particularly for jib furling applications. It integrates a ratchet mechanism that provides a friction brake against line pull, reducing manual effort for the crew. This block is suitable for standard 25mm (1") guard rail stanchions, attaching via a stainless steel clamping ring that permits angle adjustment. The unit, part number 60160, accommodates lines up to 10mm (3/8") and features a 55mm (2 3/16") ratchet block. Its construction includes a high-density nylon and glass fiber reinforced polymer body with UV protection, 316 stainless steel internal components, and a gunmetal silver anodized aluminum sheave. Ball bearings contribute to low friction and durability in marine conditions. It is intended for marine environments where controlled line management and load reduction are required.
