Snatch Blocks
-
Snatch Block Hook Type
- A Snatch Block Hook Type is a mechanical device used to redirect the line of pull, making it easier to apply force in a desired direction.
- It consists of a grooved wheel (sheave) mounted in a frame, with a hook for attachment.
Functions:
- Changing Direction: Snatch blocks are primarily used to redirect the line of pull, making it easier to apply force in a desired direction.
- Mechanical Advantage: By redirecting the line, a snatch block can effectively increase the mechanical advantage, allowing you to lift heavier loads with less effort.
- Reducing Friction: The sheave within the snatch block reduces friction, making the pulling or lifting process more efficient.
Features:
- Sheave: A grooved wheel that rotates freely, allowing the rope or cable to change direction smoothly.
- Frame: A sturdy frame that houses the sheave and provides a secure mounting point.
- Hook: A strong hook for attaching the snatch block to a fixed point or another piece of rigging equipment.
- Material: Typically made from high-strength steel, ensuring durability and safety.
- Working Load Limit (WLL): The maximum safe load that the snatch block can handle, clearly marked on the device.
- Sheave Size and Groove Diameter: These factors influence the efficiency and capacity of the snatch block.
- Swivel Hook: Allows for flexibility in positioning the snatch block and prevents rope twisting.
Common Applications:
- Off-Road Recovery: Used to extract vehicles from mud, snow, or other difficult terrain.
- Construction: Employed for lifting heavy loads, such as beams and structural components.
- Tree Care: Used to tension cables and lift heavy branches.
- Marine Applications: Utilized for mooring boats, pulling anchors, and other marine tasks.
- Industrial Settings: Employed in various industrial applications, such as manufacturing and material handling.

SNATCH BLOCK SHACKLE
- A Snatch Block Shackle Type is a type of snatch block that uses a shackle to attach the block to a fixed point or another piece of rigging equipment. This type of snatch block is often preferred in situations where a hook might not be the most suitable attachment point or where additional security is desired.
Functions:
- Changing direction of pull: Allows for pulling at different angles, making tasks easier.
- Increasing mechanical advantage: Reduces the effort required to lift or pull heavy loads.
- Reducing friction: The sheave minimizes friction, making the operation more efficient.
Features:
- Shackle: A U-shaped metal fitting with a screw pin or bolt to secure the connection.
- Sheave: A grooved wheel that redirects the rope or cable.
- Frame: The housing for the sheave, providing a sturdy structure.
- Material: Typically made from high-strength steel.
- Working Load Limit (WLL): The maximum safe load the snatch block can handle.
Common applications:
- Off-road recovery: Extracting vehicles from difficult terrain.
- Construction: Lifting heavy materials and equipment.
- Tree care: Tensioning cables and lifting branches.
- Marine applications: Mooring boats, pulling anchors.
- Industrial settings: Various industrial tasks like material handling.
