The McKissick 418 Light Champion Snatch Block is a dependable single-sheave block designed for wire rope cable applications in industrial, construction, and general rigging environments. Rated for a 4-ton working load limit, this block is built around a 4-1/2-inch outside diameter sheave supported by a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing, providing reliable, low-maintenance performance across a wide range of field conditions. The 418 series accommodates wire rope cable from 3/8 to 1/2 inch in diameter, making it well suited for lighter-duty rigging tasks where a compact, portable block is required.
The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing eliminates the need for frequent greasing while providing consistent sheave rotation under load. Bronze bushing construction is well regarded for its corrosion resistance and durability in environments where exposure to moisture, dirt, and debris is common. The Light Champion designation reflects a design that prioritizes ease of handling and portability without compromising the structural integrity needed for reliable load redirection and pulling applications.
The snatch block configuration features a side-opening cheek plate that allows the wire rope to be inserted without threading the rope end through the block, reducing rigging time in the field. This block is suitable for use with wire rope winches, come-alongs, and general rigging systems in construction, agriculture, marine, and light industrial applications where a compact, dependable snatch block is needed.
