Snatch Block with Shackle 15T 8" (Swivel Heavy Duty Lifting 15 Ton 8 Inch Lightweight)

Designed for towing, pulling and overhead lifting, these snatch blocks are a practical choice for off-road winching and recovery work. Each heavy duty pulley block is made for use with wire rope and features a gate, allowing the rope to be placed onto the sheave without the need to thread it through the block.

Fitted with a bush sheave, they are not suitable for high-speed applications. Used correctly, a snatch block can help lessen the load on the winch during recoveries and off-road winching. The range conforms to BS EN 13157: 2004 + A1: 2009 and has a 4:1 factor of safety.
