McKissick 419 Light Champion Snatch Block - Wire Rope - 3/8 to 1/2 in - 4 Ton

Product Description

The McKissick 419 Light Champion Snatch Block is a single-sheave block designed for wire rope cable applications requiring reliable load redirection and mechanical advantage in light to medium-duty industrial, construction, marine, and field environments. Rated for a 4-ton working load limit, this block is built around a 4-1/2-inch outside diameter sheave supported by a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing, providing dependable, corrosion-resistant sheave rotation under sustained loads. The 419 series in this configuration accommodates wire rope cable from 3/8 to 1/2 inch in diameter.

The self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing eliminates the need for frequent greasing while providing consistent sheave rotation under load. Bronze bushing construction is well regarded for its corrosion resistance and durability in environments where exposure to moisture, dirt, and debris is common, making it a practical choice for outdoor, marine, and field applications where maintenance access may be limited. The compact 4-1/2-inch sheave diameter makes this configuration well suited for confined rigging setups or applications where a small, lightweight block profile is required for the rope diameter and load capacity in use.

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 this compact 419 configuration easy to handle and transport in the field. This block is well suited for use with small-diameter wire rope winches, come-alongs, hoists, and light to medium-duty rigging systems in construction, marine, agricultural, and general industrial applications.
