McKissick 406 Champion Series Snatch Block - 15 Ton - 3/4 to 7/8 in Wire Rope - 8 in Sheave - Roller Bearing

Product Description

The McKissick 406 Champion Series Snatch Block is a heavy-duty wire rope snatch block engineered for demanding rigging, lifting, and load-redirecting applications. Built to handle the rigors of industrial, construction, and oilfield environments, the 406 Champion Series is part of McKissick's flagship line of snatch blocks, recognized throughout the rigging industry for robust construction, reliable performance, and extended service life under repetitive loading conditions.

This block is rated for a 15 ton load capacity and is designed to accommodate wire rope cable ranging from 3/4 in to 7/8 in in diameter. The 8 in outside diameter sheave is supported by a roller bearing, which reduces friction during operation, promotes smoother cable travel, and contributes to lower wear on both the wire rope and the sheave under sustained use. The overall dimensions of 8.12 in W x 13.19 in H are more compact than the 10 in sheave variant at the same load rating and cable range within the 406 Champion Series, and this distinction should be noted when evaluating fit within available rigging clearances and when selecting attachment hardware.

The 406 Champion Series snatch block is well suited to applications requiring load redirection, mechanical advantage in rigging systems, or pulling operations where a high-capacity, roller-bearing-equipped block is required. Its design supports use in construction, heavy rigging, marine, oilfield, and industrial material handling environments where reliable performance at elevated load ratings is essential. The more compact 8 in sheave profile may be advantageous in space-constrained rigging setups where the larger 10 in sheave variant cannot be accommodated.

406 Champion Series snatch block 15 Ton rated load capacity 3/4 to 7/8 in maximum wire rope cable diameter range 8 in outside diameter sheave Roller bearing sheave support for reduced friction and extended service life Overall dimensions: 8.12 in W x 13.19 in H More compact profile than the 10 in sheave variant at the same load rating Designed for wire rope cable applications

Note:

Material composition and finish details should be confirmed against the official McKissick 406 Champion Series product documentation or catalog prior to specification. The 3/4 to 7/8 in cable diameter range should be verified against the wire rope installed in the rigging system before use. All attachment hardware — hooks, shackles, and swivels — must be rated at or above the 15 ton load capacity of this block. The 8 in sheave outside diameter provides a more compact form factor than the 10 in sheave variant at the same load rating and should be selected based on rigging clearance requirements and wire rope bending ratio considerations. Do not assume certifications or standards compliance without verification from McKissick or an authorized distributor.
