Snatch Block 4050S4
The US Cargo Control 4050S4 4050 Snatch Block is built for lifting and pulling tasks using 3/8 inch wire rope on a four inch sheave. It suits rigging professionals and vehicle recovery operators who need a durable block for redirecting loads. The unit arrives new and ready for service.
Wire Rope Compatibility
The sheave diameter matches 3/8 inch wire rope, allowing proper bend radius and reduced rope wear during pulls. This sizing means the block works with standard winch lines found on many recovery kits. No additional accessories or software are included with the hardware.
Installation Notes
The block opens at the cheek plates so rope can be inserted without threading the end through the sheave. Ensure the pin is fully seated and the cotter key engaged before applying load. Improper pin seating is the most common cause of failure during use.

Questions about this item
Will the 4" sheave groove need re-machining if the 3/8" wire rope wears a flat spot?
Inspect the groove regularly; if a flat spot deepens beyond the rope diameter the block should be replaced rather than re-machined.
What is the first limit reached when the 4050 Snatch Block runs continuously under load?
The sheave bearing temperature rises first; sustained duty cycles should allow cooling intervals to avoid overheating.
How much heat does the block generate during all-day rigging work?
Friction in the sheave produces noticeable warmth; mount the block where airflow can dissipate heat and pause periodically to let it cool.
