Abstract
A modular block incorporates an endless rope loop that forms a first loop extension and second loop extension configured to be retained by a hook or other support. The endless rope loop extends through the sheave axle and may be made of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The sheave wheel spins over the sheave axle on bearings and a pair of opposing side plates extend around the sheave wheel to prevent a rope from jumping off of the sheave wheel. The endless rope loop may be an endless braided rope that forms a continuous ring or loop.
