McKissick 408 Light Champion Snatch Block - 5/8 to 3/4 in - 12 Ton - 6 in - Roller Bearing

Product Description

The McKissick 408 Light Champion Snatch Block is a double-groove, single-sheave block engineered for wire rope cable applications requiring dual-line rigging capability in a compact, field-portable package. Rated for a 12-ton working load limit, this block features a 6-inch outside diameter two-groove sheave supported by a roller bearing, providing smooth, low-friction rope travel and reliable performance under sustained loads. The 408 series accommodates wire rope cable from 5/8 to 3/4 inch in diameter.

The two-groove sheave design allows the block to handle two wire rope lines simultaneously or to be used in rigging configurations where dual-groove guidance improves rope control and load distribution. The roller bearing sheave minimizes friction and heat buildup during operation, extending service life in high-cycle applications and reducing wear on both the rope and the block under repeated loading. The compact 6-inch sheave diameter makes this configuration particularly well suited for confined rigging setups or applications where a smaller block profile is required without sacrificing the 12-ton working load capacity of the 408 series.

The Light Champion series reflects McKissick's design approach of balancing structural strength with manageable block weight, making the 408 practical to handle and position in the field. This block is suitable for use with wire rope winches, cranes, and rigging systems in construction, marine, oilfield, logging, and general industrial load-handling applications where dual-groove capability, roller bearing performance, and a compact sheave profile are all required.
