Light Duty Snatch Block with Shackle

No.1710419

This Light Duty Snatch Block with Shackle provides a highly secure connection point for lightweight lifting, pulling, and rigging operations, effectively doubling pulling capacity and redirecting wire rope lines.

  • Robust Steel Construction: Manufactured from durable steel with a protective powder-coated finish to resist rust and harsh environment wear.
  • Secure Shackle Mount: High-strength shackle fitting ensures positive, non-slip anchoring to pad eyes, lugs, and fixed rigging points.
  • Side-Opening Design: Hinged side plate allows fast and effortless wire rope insertion without needing to thread the entire cable length.
  • Low-Friction Sheave: Precision-machined steel sheave reduces rope abrasion and ensures smooth, consistent cable movement under load.
  • Multi-Purpose Utility: Perfect for light construction, vehicle recovery, towing applications, and general shop material handling.

Technical Data

Light Duty Snatch Block with Shackle

Quick-Entry Wire Rope Pulley Block (419 Series)
2t - 15t WLL ASME B30.26 Compliant 4:1 Safety Factor

Product Overview

Every light duty snatch block frame is manufactured from high-tensile structural steel plates, paired with a precision-machined cast steel or ductile iron sheave. Suspended by a heavy-duty, drop-forged alloy steel shackle top fitting, the assembly is engineered to provide high strength-to-weight ratios and maximum securement safety.

The 419 Light Duty Snatch Block is a single-sheave rigging block fitted with a drop-forged shackle pin. It is engineered for hoisting, lifting, pulling, and dragging loads across construction, industrial maintenance, and heavy vehicle recovery applications. The shackle attachment ensures a high-security connection to anchor points, master rings, or pad eyes, preventing accidental disengagement under heavy vibration.

Key Features

  • High-Strength Forged Shackle: Equipped with a heavy-duty, drop-forged alloy steel shackle top fitting and high-tensile pin, providing maximum connection security in high-vibration pulling loops.
  • Quick Swing-Side Opening Design: Features a hinged side plate that swings open effortlessly, allowing mid-span insertion of wire rope or synthetic cable without removing end fittings.
  • Smooth Sheave Operation: Precision-machined steel/ductile iron sheave with smooth groove design reduces friction, minimizes cable wear, and ensures maximum mechanical efficiency.
  • Swivel & Pivot Alignment: The heavy-duty top shackle swivels to automatically align with the load vector, preventing damaging torque buildup and line twisting under tension.
  • Compact & Lightweight Portability: Designed specifically for light-duty field rigging, utility line pulling, agricultural haulage, and light vehicle recovery where portability is critical.
  • Strict Safety Compliance: Fully compliant with ASME B30.26 manufacturing and design safety standards, featuring a 4:1 safety factor (Design Factor).

🛠️ How to Use (Quick-Entry)

  1. Anchor the Block: Remove the shackle pin, attach the top shackle bow directly to a rated anchor point (such as a pad eye, chain loop, or master ring), and thread the pin securely into place.
  2. Open the Sheave: Swing open the hinged side plate via the side-opening feature. This allows you to insert the wire rope directly without threading it end-to-end.
  3. Seat the Rope: Place the wire rope securely into the sheave groove, ensuring the rope diameter matches the sheave sizing parameters.
  4. Secure the Block: Close and lock the opening side plate securely into place prior to applying tension.
  5. Maintenance & Checks: Apply pressure lubrication to the center pin per your maintenance schedule. Always confirm the block's rated WLL against your actual load before lifting.

⚠️ Operational Safety

Never exceed the Working Load Limit (WLL). Capacities range from 2 tons up to 15 tons depending on the specific model selected. Always ensure the shackle pin is fully seated and tightened before applying line pull.
