Harken HK2162 T2 40/18mm Soft-Attach Traveller Block

The Harken HK2162 T2 40/18mm Soft-Attach Traveller Block is designed for exceptional performance with its lightweight, high-strength composite construction. Featuring composite sheaves that spin smoothly on Delrin ball bearings, this block offers low-friction operation ideal for various sailing applications.

With no metal shackles or rivets, this block is among the lightest soft-attach pulleys ever designed by Harken. Its unique design allows for versatile attachment methods, including lashing, splicing, or threading through the load-bearing center, which reduces stress on the sideplates and provides an added layer of safety redundancy for the entire system.

The HK2162 is perfect for use in traveler controls, mainsheets, vangs, cascades, bridles, and other systems requiring small yet robust and efficient blocks. Each block comes with a length of Spectra line, making it ready for immediate use right out of the box.

The block features a sheave diameter of 40mm, ensuring smooth and efficient line management, while the compact length of 88mm ensures it fits comfortably in tight spaces on various sailing systems. The block's maximum rope size is 5mm, and it boasts an impressive breaking load of 450kg, making it a reliable choice for demanding sailing environments.

Constructed from high-strength, fiber-reinforced composite materials, the HK2162 is UV-stabilized, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh sun and saltwater conditions. The ball bearings are made of UV-stabilized Delrin acetal resin, while the sideplates and sheave are made from durable carbo composite material. These features combine to offer a block that performs smoothly, even in extreme conditions, while minimizing weight.
