HollowBlock2™

The HollowBlock2 is an innovative product that is transforming aerial fabric rigging within the industry.

Rig your aerial hammocks with ease and without overloading your carabiners. We rig all of our hammocks using this product as a friction hitch. The advantage of friction hitches for silk rigging is the appropriate amount of material left at the master point to be placed into the carabiner. Traditionally, aerialist riggers will tie their silks into a carabiner drastically overloading the connector and giving the rigger a false sense of security. Typically, that type of rigging results in an “overloaded” or “off axis loading” and will be subject to deep scrutiny when the connector doesn’t perform as designed.

The Sterling Rope bestselling friction hitch and autoblock has been redesigned with a stronger aramid fiber.

The 6.8 mm HollowBlock2 is made of 100% Technora® fiber for increased abrasion resistance and improved durability. It’s gripping ability comes from the unique hollow-braid construction, for use as a prusik or Klemheist knot on ropes 7 mm or larger.
