Abstract
A stringing block system is disclosed. The stringing block system includes a plurality of plates forming a housing coupled to a base, at least one sheave coupled to the housing, and a side gate. In some embodiments, the base is an adjustable base configured to rotate the stringing block system forward or backward such that one or more sheaves will form an angle with the respect to a ground surface. A desired angle can easily be achieved to create proper alignment with a successive structure. The adjustable base is structured such that rotating the stringing block system does not require disengaging the entire system from a structure. In some embodiments, the stringing block system includes an extendable guide arm coupled to the housing, which provides a greater area for a helicopter pilot to work with when lowering a wire onto the stringing block system.
