McKissick 404 Light Champion Tail Board Snatch Block - 4 Ton - 3/8 to 1/2 in Wire Rope

Description du produit

The McKissick 404 Light Champion Tail Board Snatch Block is a compact, dependable rigging block designed for wire rope applications where a tail board attachment provides a fixed anchoring or directional control point within the rigging system. Rated for a 4-ton working load limit and compatible with wire rope cable from 3/8 inch up to 1/2 inch in diameter, this block is well suited for lighter crane, winch, marine, construction, and general industrial rigging operations where the tail board configuration offers a mounting advantage not available with hook or shackle suspension styles.

The block features a bronze bushing bearing, providing corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance sheave rotation suited to marine, offshore, and field environments where exposure to moisture and contaminants is a regular consideration. Bronze bushings deliver reliable long-term performance with minimal servicing requirements, making them a practical choice for rigging equipment deployed in remote or high-cycle conditions. The 4-1/2-inch OD sheave is appropriately sized for the rated wire rope diameter range, supporting bend radius ratios that help preserve rope integrity and extend service life under repeated loading.

The snatch block design allows the side plates to be opened for lateral rope insertion, enabling efficient rigging changes without threading the rope end through the block. This smaller-capacity variant of the 404 Light Champion series is well suited to applications requiring a reliable, fixed-attachment snatch block in a more compact and lighter package than higher-capacity models. Always confirm wire rope diameter compatibility, tail board attachment point ratings, and full system configuration before placing the block into service.
