Designed for towing, pulling and overhead lifting, these snatch blocks are a heavy duty choice for off-road winching and recovery work. Built for use with wire rope, each block 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.
Fitted with a bush sheave, these pulley blocks are not suitable for high-speed applications. They conform to BS EN 13157: 2004 + A1: 2009 and have a factor of safety of 4:1. Options are available with either a safety hook or a safety shackle, with multiple sizes and SWL ratings to suit different wire diameters and lifting requirements.
