McKissick 404 Light Champion Series Tail Board Snatch Block - 8 Ton - 5/8 to 3/4 in Wire Rope - 8 in Sheave

Product Description

The McKissick 404 Light Champion Series Tail Board Snatch Block is a heavy-duty wire rope rigging block designed for reliable performance in industrial, construction, and field rigging applications. Rated at 8 tons, this block strikes a practical balance between capacity and portability, making it well-suited for operations that require a capable, field-ready snatch block without the bulk of a high-capacity unit. The 404 Light Champion Series is part of McKissick's established line of snatch blocks, recognized for dependable construction and broad applicability across rigging, pulling, and load-redirecting tasks.

This block features an 8-inch sheave outside diameter and accommodates wire rope cable ranging from 5/8 to 3/4 inch in diameter. The roller bearing sheave provides smooth, low-friction cable travel under load, reducing wear on both the wire rope and the sheave itself during repeated cycling. Roller bearings offer improved efficiency compared to bushing-type bearings in applications involving more frequent movement or higher cycle rates, making this block well-suited for operations where the rope is in motion regularly rather than under sustained static load.

The tail board design allows the block to be anchored to a fixed point while redirecting the line of pull from a winch or pulling system, making it effective in a wide range of rigging configurations on construction sites, in industrial plants, and in field service environments. As with all rigging hardware, proper inspection before each use, correct installation, and strict adherence to the rated working load are essential for safe operation.
