McKissick 430 Super Champion Snatch Block - 1 to 1-1/8 in - 20 Ton - 8 in

Product Description

The McKissick Series 430 Super Champion Snatch Block is a heavy-duty single-sheave block built for high-capacity rigging, pulling, and load-redirection operations in demanding industrial environments. Rated to a 20-ton working load capacity and designed to accommodate wire rope from 1 to 1-1/8 inch in diameter, the Series 430 delivers the structural strength and sustained performance required in oilfield, construction, marine, and offshore applications. The 8-inch sheave outside diameter provides a more compact profile while maintaining the load-handling capability expected of the Super Champion series, making it a practical choice where space or weight considerations are a factor in the rigging setup.

This Super Champion variant is fitted with a bronze bushing bearing, a bearing type proven in heavy industrial block applications for its high load-bearing capacity, durability, and resistance to contamination and harsh field conditions. The snatch block design incorporates a side-opening cheek plate, enabling the block to be attached to or removed from a wire rope at any point along its length without threading the line — a critical operational advantage in field rigging situations where speed and accessibility are priorities.

McKissick's Super Champion designation identifies a reinforced, high-capacity tier of construction within their block product line, intended for sustained use under demanding working loads where standard blocks would be insufficient. The Series 430 is commonly deployed with heavy winches, cranes, and pulling systems to redirect wire rope leads or to develop mechanical advantage in large tackle assemblies. All shackles, hooks, and attachment hardware used in conjunction with this block should be rated to match or exceed the 20-ton working load limit to maintain a safe and compliant rigging assembly.
