Looking for Push & Twist?
For customers wanting our latest locking system and a larger sheave, check out the DSB24 GEN2 featuring the Push & Twist captive pin design.
Why choose the Dingo Block?
• Lighter than traditional steel snatch blocks
• More controlled than basic winch rings
• Rotating wheel design for smoother line movement
• Soft-shackle friendly with no sharp rope contact edges
• Compact, solid, built for real-world use
Reduced Heat on Long Pulls
Unlike static winch rings that rely on friction, the Dingo Block uses a rotating wheel system.
The wheel turns with the rope, supported by a greased bush bearing between the wheel and load pin.
This reduces friction build-up and helps keep temperatures lower during long or repeated pulls — protecting your synthetic rope over time.
Compatibility
DSB22 -A V3 (Aluminum Wheel)
Designed exclusively for synthetic fibre rope.
Weight: 1.66kg
DSB22-S V3 (Steel Wheel)
Suitable for steel cable and soft rope.

⚠ Do not switch back to synthetic rope after using steel cable, as embedded particles may damage fibre rope.
Built for Real Recoveries
The Dingo Block isn’t showroom gear.
It’s built for recoveries where:
• Angles aren’t ideal
• Load cycles on and off
• Rope doesn’t sit perfectly
That’s when controlled rope behaviour matters most.
