Available Options


Snatch blocks are typically used for short  term and intermittent lifting applications where loads are required to be lifted and moved horizontally. They are easy to transport from location to location and are relatively quick and easy to rig. More permanent arrangements would typically use a crane or a construction block.

**Load On Blocks

Angle Factor Multipliers


The working Load Limit (WLL) for Yoke Group blocks indicates  the maximum load that should be exerted on the block and its connecting fitting. this total load value may be different from the weight being lifted or pulled by a hoisting system. it is necessary to determine the total load being imposed on each block in the system properly determine the rated capacity block to be used. A single sheave block used to change the load line direction can be subjected to total loads greatly different from the weight being lifted or pulled. The total load value varies with the angle between the incoming and departing lines to the block. the following chart indicates the factor to be multiplied by the line pull to obtain the total load on the block.
