Designed for towing, pulling and overhead lifting, these 3"–16" snatch blocks offer a practical way to manage wire rope in demanding recovery and winching situations, including off-road use. Each block features a gate that allows the wire rope to be placed onto the sheave without threading it through the block, helping to speed up set-up when time matters.
Built as heavy duty pulley blocks with a bush sheave, they are intended for controlled use rather than high-speed applications. They can also be used to lessen the load on the winch during recoveries and off-road winching. Conforming to BS EN 13157: 2004 + A1: 2009, the range is offered with either a safety hook or a safety shackle, with multiple sizes and SWL options to suit different wire diameters.
