Snatch Block

A snatch block is a mechanical device used in rigging and lifting operations to change the direction of a load or increase the mechanical advantage. It consists of a grooved wheel or pulley enclosed in a housing with a side plate that opens to allow the insertion of a rope or cable. The rope or cable is threaded through the groove of the wheel, and when tension is applied, it causes the wheel to rotate.

The primary purpose of a heavy duty snatch block is to redirect the path of a rope or cable, allowing for changes in direction without causing excessive wear or damage. By changing the angle of the rope, it can effectively increase the pulling power or mechanical advantage. This is particularly useful when dealing with heavy loads or when the pulling force needs to be redirected around obstacles.
