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

Product Description

The McKissick 409 Light Champion Snatch Block is a medium-capacity snatch block engineered for versatile rigging and load redirection applications requiring a 12 Ton working load capacity. Designed to accommodate wire rope from 5/8 to 3/4 inch in diameter, this block features an 8-inch outside diameter sheave with a two-groove configuration, providing flexibility for different rope diameter selections within the specified range or for dual-rope rigging arrangements. The Light Champion series represents McKissick's tradition of producing dependable, field-proven snatch blocks suited to a broad range of industrial, construction, oilfield, and marine rigging applications.

The 409 in this configuration is fitted with roller bearings that provide reliable performance under the radial and axial loads generated during load line redirection. Roller bearings offer improved load capacity and reduced friction compared to plain bushing designs, supporting smooth sheave rotation under the working loads associated with 12 Ton rigging operations. This bearing type is well suited to the moderate-duty cycles and variable load conditions encountered in construction, oilfield service, and general industrial rigging applications where dependable performance and reasonable maintenance intervals are required.

As a snatch block, the McKissick 409 Light Champion incorporates an openable side plate that allows wire rope to be inserted laterally without threading the rope end through the block, enabling fast and efficient rigging changes and load line redirection in the field. The two-groove sheave design adds versatility for accommodating different rope diameters within the 5/8 to 3/4 inch range or for multi-rope rigging configurations. This block is well suited for crane and hoist rigging, construction site load handling, oilfield service operations, marine deck rigging, and general industrial lifting and pulling applications. Always verify working load limits, wire rope diameter compatibility, and attachment hardware prior to use.
