Compact & Lightweight

Designed to fit easily into any recovery kit without adding unnecessary weight.

Soft Shackle Ready

Optimised for modern recovery systems using soft shackles and synthetic winch ropes.

Smooth Rope Operation

The 75mm sheave provides smooth rope movement while helping reduce rope wear.

Why Choose DSB22 V3?

The DSB22 V3 is the perfect choice for users who want a more convenient recovery block without moving to the larger GEN2 platform.

If you simply want a better DSB22, this is it.

Comparison

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.
Weight: 2.16kg

⚠ 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.
