Heavy-Duty Snatch Block – 6T

The 6T heavy-duty snatch block gives you more options when planning a safe winch recovery. Use it to change the direction of the winch line or create a double-line pull when the recovery setup allows it.

Moreover, the hinged side plate makes it easier to insert the winch rope without feeding the full length through the pulley. As a result, you can set up the recovery system more quickly when conditions are difficult.

More Control During Winch Recoveries

A direct winch pull is not always the best option. For example, an obstacle may prevent you from lining up the winch with the recovery point. In this case, a heavy-duty recovery pulley can help redirect the rope and improve the pulling angle.

In addition, a suitable double-line setup can reduce the load placed on the winch. However, the load applied to the anchor, snatch block, shackles and recovery points may increase. Therefore, every part of the system must carry the correct rating.

Compatible Recovery Equipment

Before use, confirm that the winch rope diameter and type suit the snatch block. Also, connect it only with correctly rated shackles, recovery points and anchor equipment.

The rating of the complete recovery system depends on its lowest-rated part. Consequently, one weak or damaged item can make the entire setup unsafe. Never exceed the working load marked on the product.

Safe Use and Inspection

Inspect the six-ton snatch block before every recovery. Check the pulley, pin and side plates for cracks, bending, wear or other damage. Furthermore, make sure the pulley turns freely and the side plate closes correctly.

During a recovery, use a winch-line damper and keep everyone away from the loaded rope. Never stand inside the line of pull or next to the snatch block. Finally, avoid shock loading and use clear signals between everyone involved.
