Deciding on the best block and all of the equipment to go with it could be confusing. For those who have any problems about employing snatch blocks, choosing wire rope blocks, functioning load restrictions, etc., contact one of our sales specialists . They are able to help you find just what you will need to get the job done safely.

With so many different variations, sizes and weight limitations, it’s vital that you know what to watch out for when choosing a snatch block for the work. Factors to keep in mind when choosing a snatch block for your rigging needs:
Check the Doing work Load Limit (WLL) of both snatch prevent and the wire rope. If the WLL of the pulley isn’t appropriate for the WLL of the rope, it could create a dangerous situation if either one should fail.
Coordinate how big is the sheave in the snatch block to the size of the cable rope. If the wire rope is too big for the sheave, the prevent can crack. Generally, the wire rope-to-sheave size ratio should be 12:1 so that you can hold the wire properly while under load.
Know your numbers. Because a snatchblock can cut the immediate pull load in half, pick a rigging pulley which has a rating of double the draw of the winch you’ll be applying with it.
We carry a variety of styles of durable snatch blocks / wire cable pulleys; check the features for each and every product for break power and load restrictions. We also carry a wide collection of wire rope.
Along with heavy duty snatch blocks, we also offer small rigging snatch blocks and pulleys in various designs and sizes, which includes stainless steel snatch blocks, square blocks, single and dual pulleys, swivel prevent , and more.

For use with everything from sailboats to ATVs, a snatch prevent can be a real workhorse. Named a rigging block since it plays a part in or “snatches” the mechanical push of pull, it provides a unique blend of power and overall flexibility. When used with a winch, a block enables you to pull or lift large things by “breaking” the draw span between the object and the winch. This cuts the direct pull load in two, which doubles the quantity of weight your winch can draw.
