McKissick Snatch Block - 3/4 to 7/8 in - 12 Ton - 8 in

Product Description

The McKissick Series 416 Snatch Block is a heavy-duty single-sheave block designed for reliable performance in demanding rigging, pulling, and load-redirection applications across construction, oilfield, marine, and industrial environments. Rated to a 12-ton working load capacity and compatible with wire rope diameters from 3/4 to 7/8 inch, the Series 416 provides the structural strength required for sustained use under significant working loads. The compact 8-inch sheave outside diameter makes it a practical choice where space or weight constraints are a consideration without sacrificing load-handling capability.

This variant of the Series 416 is fitted with a bronze bushing bearing, a bearing type valued in heavy industrial block applications for its durability, high load-bearing capacity, and resistance to contamination and harsh environmental conditions encountered in field use. The snatch block configuration features a side-opening cheek plate, allowing the block to be attached to or removed from a wire rope at any point along its length without threading the line — an important operational advantage in field rigging setups where efficiency and accessibility are priorities.

McKissick has a long-established reputation in the block and sheave industry for precision manufacturing and load-rated performance. The Series 416 is well suited for use with winches, cranes, and pulling equipment where wire rope direction changes or mechanical advantage are required. All shackles, hooks, and attachment hardware used in conjunction with this block should be rated to match or exceed the 12-ton working load limit to maintain a safe and compliant rigging assembly.
