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

Designed for towing, pulling and overhead lifting, these snatch blocks are made for demanding recovery and winching set-ups where controlled load handling matters. Suitable for use with wire rope, each block features a gate that lets you place the rope onto the sheave without threading it through the block, helping to speed up rigging on site or off road.

Built as heavy duty pulley blocks with a bush sheave, they are not suitable for high-speed applications. The range conforms to BS EN 13157: 2004 + A1: 2009 and is specified with a 4:1 factor of safety. Choose between options with a safety hook or a safety shackle, with sizes spanning 3 inch (75MM) to 16 inch (406MM) and SWL ratings from 2 Ton to 30 Ton, depending on the model.
