A pulley block is disclosed. The pulley block comprises: first and second plates and a pulley sheave disposed between the plates for rotation on bearings upon a sheave axle that extends between the plates along a sheave axis. The plates are connected to the sheave axle so as to permit rotation of one plate with respect to the other about the sheave axis between a closed position of the pulley block and an open position of the pulley block. Each plate has, at a position remote from the sheave axis, a respective bollard formation, which bollard formations are disposed such that, when the plates are in the closed position, the respective bollard formations are in contact with or in close proximity to one another to form a bollard that extends between the plates. When the plates are in the open position, the respective bollard formations are spaced apart. The pulley sheave rotates on bearings upon a sheave axle assembly that extends between the plates along a sheave axis. Which assembly has a main axle that is fixed for rotation with respect to the first plate and free for rotation with respect to the second plate and an axle cap that clamps the main axle to the first plate, the axle cap being removably secured to the main axle.
