Assembled with balls or rollers in Peek, K-Blocks guarantee very low friction.
KARVER K-BLOCKS EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGES:
- SAFETY: lashing through the block center significantly increases safety in event the block fails. The line running through the block remains captive by the lashing, not allowing it to completely break free.
- LIGHT WEIGHT: These exceptionally light blocks, combined with the lashing method of attachment, allow to reduce weight up to 50% as compared to conventional block with similar working load.
- ATTACHMENT: lashing through the center of the block offers unlimited applications and mounting possibilities (double lashing, becket...), the block can be tied up easily.
- REDUCED NOISE: lashing block greatly reduces noise created by mechanical attachments such as shackles and pins.
KARVER K-Blocks are available for safe working loads going from 0.2 to 4.5 T.

Designed with the Volvo 70%u2019s and the Cup boats sailing teams, the low friction KBTi blocks are 60 to 70% lighter than any other existing blocks on the market. Improvements in high modulus ropes now allows to use a smaller sheave diameter. We have reduced the size of our blocks to suit the new high tech ropes and minimize weight and size while maintaining a very low friction coefficient : 2 patents pending.
Lashed through the center, the KBTi block provides the same safety features in case of over-loading, as the standard K-Blocks.
