Designed for demanding towing, pulling and overhead lifting, these heavy duty Snatch Blocks are suited to off-road winching and recovery where controlled load handling matters. 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 on site.
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 are made to a 4:1 factor of safety. Choose between a safety hook or safety shackle configuration, with multiple sizes and SWL options available to match your wire diameter and lifting requirements.
