Snatch Block Swivel Hook 2T 3" (Lifting Pulley 2 Ton 3 Inch Lightweight)

Designed for towing, pulling and overhead lifting, these snatch blocks are a practical choice for off-road winching and recovery work. Each block is intended for use with wire rope and features a gate that allows the rope to be placed onto the sheave without threading it through the block, helping to speed up set-up when conditions demand efficiency.

Built as heavy duty pulley blocks with a bush sheave, they are not suitable for high-speed applications. Used correctly, they can help lessen the load on a winch during recoveries and off-road winching. The range conforms to BS EN 13157: 2004 + A1: 2009 and has a factor of safety of 4:1, with options available with either a safety hook or a safety shackle across sizes from 3 inch (75MM) to 16 inch (406MM).
