McKissick 409 Light Champion Snatch Block - 5/8 to 3/4 in - 12 Ton - 6 in

Product Description

The McKissick 409 Light Champion Snatch Block is a double-groove single-sheave block designed for wire rope cable applications requiring reliable load redirection and mechanical advantage in industrial, construction, marine, and oilfield environments. Rated for a 12-ton working load limit, this block features two rope grooves on a 6-inch outside diameter sheave supported by a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing, providing dependable, corrosion-resistant sheave rotation under sustained loads. The 409 series accommodates wire rope cable from 5/8 to 3/4 inch in diameter.

The two-groove sheave configuration allows this block to accommodate two wire rope runs simultaneously, making it well suited for applications where two lines must be guided or redirected through a single block, such as in multi-part line rigging systems, trawl gear, or specialized pulling and lifting arrangements where a compact double-groove block is required. The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing eliminates the need for frequent greasing while providing consistent sheave rotation under load, and its corrosion-resistant properties make it a practical choice for outdoor, marine, and field applications where maintenance access may be limited. The compact 6-inch sheave diameter keeps the overall block profile small and manageable for field handling and positioning.

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 and improving setup efficiency in the field. The Light Champion designation reflects McKissick's design approach of balancing structural strength with manageable block weight, making the 409 easy to handle and transport in the field. This block is well suited for use with wire rope winches, hoists, cranes, and specialized rigging systems in construction, marine, oilfield, and general industrial applications where a compact double-groove snatch block is required.
