Collection of most goods can be made from our warehouse upon request. Did you know that we have a range of slings, shackles and hoists available for instant Click & Collect? While nearly all items on our website can be collected next working day! Call our sales team now on 01384567430
Our Forged Snatch Blocks with Shackles from Yoke are high-performance and are capable of lifting up to 15t, safely - dependent on the variation chosen.
Available in 3 sheave diameters (see options via dropdown menu), they are particularly suited to applications in oilfields and offshore environments.
Featuring part number, wire rope size and WLL marked on each unit, they are fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1.5x the working load limit, as well as designed with a safety factor of 4:1.

LOADS ON BLOCKS
Angle Factor Mutipliers
The Working Load Limit (WLL) for Yoke Group blocks indicates the maximum load that should be exerted on the block and its connecting fitting. This total load value may be different from the weight being lifted or pulled by a hoisting system. It is necessary to determine the total load being imposed on each block in the system to properly determine the rated capacity block to be used. A single sheave block used to change load line direction can be subjected to total loads greatly different from the weight being lifted or pulled. The total load value varies with the angle between the incoming and departing lines to the block. The following chart indicates the factor to be multiplied by the line pull to obtain the total load on the block.
