BLOCK SNH 1-3/4IN 60TON 24IN ROLL FGD

Product Description

The McKissick TU-483 Snatch Block in the 1-3/4 inch rope, 24-inch sheave configuration is a heavy-duty, high-capacity snatch block engineered for extreme-duty rigging and lifting operations requiring a 60 Ton working load capacity. Designed to accommodate wire rope up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter, this block features a 24-inch outside diameter roll forged sheave that provides an extended rope bend radius, significantly reducing wire rope fatigue and extending rope service life under the high line loads associated with large-diameter wire rope applications. Roll forging produces a sheave with a refined, dense grain structure that delivers superior toughness and resistance to the extreme mechanical stresses and shock loads encountered in oilfield, offshore, heavy marine, and large-scale construction rigging operations.

The TU-483 is fitted with tapered roller bearings with seals, providing efficient distribution of both radial and axial loads while the sealed bearing housing prevents ingress of water, grit, and field contaminants. This bearing configuration ensures smooth, low-friction sheave rotation under sustained heavy loads, minimizes rope wear at the sheave groove, and reduces maintenance frequency in remote or offshore locations where regular servicing is not practical. The combination of a large 24-inch sheave diameter and sealed tapered roller bearings makes this block particularly well suited for high-cycle, high-load applications where both rope longevity and bearing reliability are critical operational requirements.

As a snatch block, the TU-483 features an openable side plate for lateral wire rope insertion without threading the rope end through the block, enabling rapid rigging changes and efficient load line redirection under field conditions. The 24-inch sheave with 1-3/4 inch rope capacity is well suited for applications involving large-diameter wire rope runs, higher line loads, or situations where minimizing rope wear and fatigue is a priority, including heavy crane rigging, offshore platform and derrick operations, pipeline construction, large vessel mooring and towing assists, and multi-part line systems. Always confirm working load limits, wire rope diameter compatibility, and pin dimensions before placing the block into service.
