Overview
This heavy-duty steel snatch block is designed for demanding lifting, pulling, towing and rope-redirection applications. Fitted with a latch-equipped safety hook (LH Type) and a drop-forged wheel, it allows wire rope to be inserted quickly without threading, simply open the block, place the rope over the sheave, and close. The robust blue-painted steel construction delivers reliable performance across construction, rigging, haulage and industrial environments.
- Drop-forged wheel for exceptional strength and durability
- Safety latch hook (LH Type) for secure attachment to anchor points
- Capacity: 8 tonnes with a safety factor of 4 times
- Compatible with 20-22 mm wire rope
- Galvanised version also available (LS Type shackle variant available)
The block's opening feature permits easy insertion of wire rope into the sheave without the need to thread the rope, saving time on site. Plates are manufactured from structural quality carbon steel, and the sheave is constructed from drop-forged steel. A grease nipple is provided for ongoing lubrication and maintenance.
