With so many different variations, sizes and weight limitations, it’s important to know what to look for when deciding on a snatch block for the job. Factors to keep in mind when deciding on a snatch block for your rigging requires:
Check the Functioning Load Limit (WLL) of both snatch prevent and the wire rope. If the WLL of the pulley is not appropriate for the WLL of the rope, it could create a dangerous problem if either one should fail.
Coordinate how big is the sheave in the snatch block to the size of the wire rope. If the wire rope is too big for the sheave, the block can crack. Generally, the wire rope-to-sheave size ratio ought to be 12:1 so as to hold the wire properly while under load.
Know your numbers. Because a snatchblock can cut the direct pull load in half, pick a rigging pulley that has a rating of twice the pull of the winch you’ll be employing with it.

For use with everything from sailboats to ATVs, a snatch block can be a actual workhorse. Known as a rigging block because it contributes to or “snatches” the mechanical drive of pull, it offers a unique mixture of power and flexibility. When used with a winch, a prevent enables you to pull or lift large items by “breaking” the pull span between the object and the winch. This cuts the immediate pull load in two, which doubles the number of weight your winch can pull.
