8,000 lb Wire-Rope Snatch Block
This B/A Products Co. snatch block is a swivel-type pulley built for lifting and pulling with wire rope. It accepts 3/8 in and 1/2 in diameter cable and attaches via a shackle. The unit is intended for rigging professionals and recovery operators who need a single-sheave redirect or mechanical advantage.
Working Load Limit and Cable Fit
The block carries a working load limit of 8,000 lb and is rated only for the two wire-rope sizes listed. Exceeding that load or using larger-diameter cable would surpass the design envelope. The sleeve bearing and painted finish suit general-purpose rigging but do not extend the stated capacity.
4 1/2 in Sheave Diameter
The sheave outside diameter measures 4 1/2 in, which determines the minimum bend radius for the wire rope. A smaller sheave would increase rope fatigue; a larger one would change the block’s profile. Select this part when the application requires exactly this sheave size and the 8,000 lb rating.

Questions about this item
Should I choose a snatch block rated for 1/2 in wire rope or a different capacity?
This block is built for 3/8 in and 1/2 in wire rope, so select it when your line falls in that range.
What does the 8,000 lb working load limit mean when I rig it in the field?
It is the maximum load the block can handle in straight lifting; do not exceed 8000 lb.
How does the swivel shackle attachment affect the angles I can pull at?
The swivel shackle lets the block rotate under load, reducing twist on the wire rope during angled pulls.
