Just When you thought that there couldn’t be any new advanced in stage rigging, JR Clancy announces a new 56 Series of Loft Blocks.  JR Clancy has rethought their most dependable, no-failure 55 Series of Loft Blocks and made some improvements to bring the 56 Series to life.

The 56 Series offers some new features:

• Quieter operation. The 56 Series features a new Quiet Idler, a remarkable noise-reducing idler that stays quiet, even at the higher speeds of many motorized sets.
• Greater capacity. We’ve increased the capacity to 750 pounds, up from the 500-pound capacity of our previous blocks.

We’ve kept all the excellent features you’ve come to expect from Clancy loft blocks:

• Ease of use. The new 56 Series Universal Loft Block is as easy to install as its predecessors. Base angles with continuous, alternating slots and holes permit installation in a wide variety of field conditions—so your installers don’t have to drill new holes in the field.
• Sturdy materials.  The new blocks are available with either nylon or grey iron sheaves.  With the nylon sheaves you get a 750 lb capacity, lighter weight, lower cost, and less wear on the lift lines.  Blocks with iron sheaves have a 500 lb capacity, due to their lower read pressure rating.
• Flexible installation. The loft block can be installed in many different situations:  upright, underhung, or with a pivot.
• Standard or custom. In addition to our standard blocks, J. R. Clancy can provide custom blocks for any environment.
