McKissick 419 Light Champion Snatch Block - Wire Rope - 3/4 in - 8 Ton - 14 in - Bronze Bushing

Product Description

The McKissick 419 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 industrial, construction, marine, and oilfield environments. Rated for an 8-ton working load limit, this block is built around a 14-inch outside diameter sheave supported by a self-lubricating bronze bushing bearing, providing dependable, corrosion-resistant sheave rotation under sustained loads. The 419 series accommodates wire rope cable up to 3/4 inch in diameter.

The 14-inch sheave diameter provides a generous rope bend radius that reduces wire rope fatigue and extends rope service life across repeated loading cycles, making this block well suited for applications where both reliable load capacity and rope longevity are priorities. 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 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 419 easy to handle and position during rigging operations without sacrificing the load capacity required for medium-duty industrial tasks. This block is well suited for use with wire rope winches, hoists, come-alongs, and rigging systems in construction, marine, oilfield, logging, and general industrial lifting and pulling applications where a generous sheave diameter and low-maintenance bronze bushing performance are both required.
