Anyone got a Hobbs Block for sale?

[Mike Hill]

how much is the hobbs?

 

$1800 US From Baileys in the States.

 

I used one extensively in Canada and a bit in Germany one year.

For pretensioning lines that are going to have big Chunks snatched off,they are the best I have used.

 

I am willing to order one from the states,its just that it takes a while to get here and there are few jobs on the books I need one for.

Cheers:thumbup1:, also do you know what the price will be-ish as im holding of buying the stein to see how good this one is.

dont think there is much i would not want to do with the RC2000 as a lowering bollard anythng more there is the bigger single bollard for around £300 or the duo but for if i wanted to go further than the 2000 it would be a GCRS any how

[jpbeaver]

why the grcs over the hobbs? better lifting?

[MattyF]

I believe so, i dont own either so cant put to the test but from what i have seen the GCRS has more lifting power and is easyer to do so.. i keep toying with the idea of buying a self tailing winch off ebay and making my own!
