Snatch Blocks
2 Ton, 5 Ton, 8 Ton, and 12 Ton Snatch Blocks Available
A snatch block is a versatile pulley system utilized in rigging and lifting operations to alter the direction of a load or increase the mechanical advantage of a lifting system. It features a pulley enclosed within a hinged shell or frame, with a grooved rim to accommodate ropes or wire ropes. Its ability to rotate freely around a fixed point enables flexible routing of ropes, facilitating changes in load direction or the creation of complex lifting configurations without additional equipment. By incorporating a snatch block, operators can effectively double the line pull or halve the effort required to lift a load, reducing strain on equipment.
