McKissick 418 Light Champion Double Sheave Snatch Block - 8 Ton - 3/4 in Wire Rope - 6 in Sheave

Description du produit

The McKissick 418 Light Champion Double Sheave Snatch Block is a versatile, mid-capacity rigging block built for wire rope applications requiring increased mechanical advantage or load redirection through a two-sheave configuration. Rated for an 8-ton working load limit and compatible with wire rope cable from 5/8 inch up to 3/4 inch in diameter, this block is well suited for crane, winch, marine, construction, and general industrial rigging operations where a double sheave arrangement is needed to multiply pulling force or manage rope routing efficiently.

The block features self-lubricating bronze bushing bearings, which provide smooth sheave rotation while eliminating the need for regular greasing intervals — a practical advantage in remote, offshore, or high-cycle field environments where maintenance access may be limited. Bronze bushings also offer inherent corrosion resistance, making this block a reliable choice for marine and moisture-exposed applications. The 6-inch OD sheaves are appropriately sized for the rated wire rope diameter range, supporting favorable bend radius ratios that help extend rope service life.

The snatch block design allows the side plates to be opened for lateral rope insertion, enabling fast and efficient rigging changes without threading the rope end through the block. The 418 Light Champion series represents McKissick's approach to delivering dependable performance in a lighter-duty package suitable for applications that do not require the full capacity of the heavier Champion or Super Champion lines. Always verify wire rope diameter, attachment hardware ratings, and overall system configuration before placing the block into service.
