Selecting the right block and all of the equipment to go with it can be confusing. When you have any issues about employing snatch blocks, choosing cable rope blocks, functioning load restrictions, etc., contact one of our sales specialists . They can help you find precisely what you will need to get the job done safely.

With so many different variations, sizes and weight limitations, it’s important to know what to find when choosing a snatch block for the job. Factors to bear in mind when choosing a snatch block for your rigging demands:
Check the Functioning Load Limit (WLL) of both snatch prevent and the cable rope. If the WLL of the pulley isn’t compatible with the WLL of the rope, it can create a dangerous circumstance if either one should fail.
Coordinate the size of the sheave in the snatch block to the size of the cable rope. If the cable rope is too big for the sheave, the block can crack. Generally, the wire rope-to-sheave size ratio should be 12:1 in order to hold the wire effectively while under load.
Know your numbers. Just because a snatchblock can slice the immediate pull load in two, select a rigging pulley which has a rating of double the pull of the winch you’ll be employing with it.
We carry many different styles of heavy duty snatch blocks / wire wire pulleys; check the specifications for each product for break durability and load limitations. We as well carry a wide selection of wire rope.
Along with heavy duty snatch blocks, we as well offer more compact rigging snatch blocks and pulleys in a variety of designs and sizes, which includes stainless snatch blocks, sq . blocks, single and double pulleys, swivel prevent , and more.

For use with from sailboats to ATVs, a snatch block can be a legitimate workhorse. Known as a rigging block because it contributes to or “snatches” the mechanical push of pull, it includes a unique combination of power and flexibility. When used with a winch, a prevent lets you pull or lift major objects by “breaking” the pull span between the object and the winch. This cuts the direct pull load in two, which doubles the quantity of fat your winch can draw.
