Snatch Block

Primarily designed for handling heavy goods—working as a pulley point that can redirect the course of a winch line—a snatch block is essentially a heavy-duty pulley inside of a metal casing.

Used to increase the lifting or pulling capacity of wire hoists and winches, snatch blocks allow the user to change the direction of a winch’s cable by off-setting the anchor point, allowing the user to pull in a three-point motion.

Ideal for transferring loads over short distances, and commonly used in recovery situations, snatch blocks are sturdy and durable, and when used in conjunction with a winch, can increase the winch’s power considerably, allowing for a smoother, easier winching process.
