McKissick 418 Light Champion Snatch Block - Wire Rope - 5/8 to 3/4 in - 8 Ton - 6 in

Product Description

The McKissick 418 Light Champion Snatch Block is a heavy-duty single-sheave block designed for wire rope cable applications requiring reliable load redirection and mechanical advantage in demanding industrial environments. Built around a 6-inch outside diameter sheave with roller bearing support, this block delivers smooth, low-friction rope travel under load, reducing wear on both the rope and the block during extended use. The 418 series is engineered for an 8-ton working load limit and accommodates wire rope cable ranging from 5/8 to 3/4 inch in diameter.

The Light Champion designation reflects a design philosophy that balances strength with reduced weight, making the block easier to handle and rig without sacrificing load capacity. The roller bearing sheave minimizes friction and heat buildup during operation, extending service life in high-cycle applications. 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, significantly reducing rigging time in the field.

This block is well suited for use with wire rope hoists, winches, come-alongs, and rigging systems in construction, marine, oilfield, logging, and general industrial lifting and pulling applications. The 418 Light Champion is a trusted McKissick product line known for consistent performance across a wide range of load-handling tasks where portability and dependability are both required.
