Logging Snatch Block - 2.5 Ton - Swivel Eye - Stainless Steel

This snatch block is designed to suit wire rope up to a maximum diameter of 20mm.

You can insert the rope by opening the side gate, placing the rope directly onto the sheave, and then securely closing the gate. This avoids the need to thread the entire length of the rope.

Safe Working Load (SWL) is the maximum load the snatch block is designed to handle under normal operating conditions. It is crucial never to exceed this limit (2.5 Ton or 2540 kg for this model) to prevent failure and ensure safety.

Yes, a test certificate is included and typically sent via email after purchase.

This model is specifically rated for wire rope up to 20mm. While it might physically fit some synthetic ropes, it is not rated for them, and using it with synthetic rope could be unsafe and void any warranty.

It is recommended to inspect the snatch block before each use, and conduct more thorough inspections periodically, especially after heavy use or exposure to harsh conditions.

The dimensions are: A: 390 MM, B: 165 MM, C: 58 MM, D: 28 MM, E: 150 MM, F: 20 MM.

Clean any debris from the gate mechanism. Apply a suitable lubricant to the hinge points and pivot areas. Ensure no rope is putting excessive pressure on the gate before attempting to open.

Inspect the sheave for foreign objects or build-up. Clean thoroughly. If the issue persists, the bearing may require lubrication or replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines if available.

Verify that the correct rope diameter (up to 20mm) is being used and that it is centered on the sheave. Ensure the side gate is fully closed and not obstructing the rope's path.

Clean the swivel joint and apply a penetrating lubricant. Rotate the eye back and forth to work the lubricant in. Avoid forcing if significantly jammed, as internal damage may have occurred.
