What you will find here

Common uses

Buyers use crosby® snatch blocks for crane, hoist and rigging work, construction, industrial and shop rigging and pulling, positioning and load handling. Never exceed the rated working load limit for your hitch type and sling angle, and inspect gear before every lift.

How to choose crosby® snatch blocks

Compare the options and specifications in the table above and pick the size or configuration that matches your equipment and load.

Working load limits in this section run from 2 Ton to 8 Ton. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Match capacity to the lift. Choose gear whose WLL exceeds the load in the hitch you will use.
2. Mind the angle. Sling angles under 60° raise leg tension sharply; use the capacity chart for your angle.
3. Inspect every time. Retire gear with cuts, heat damage, stretched links, distorted hooks or missing tags.

Materials compared

• Forged Steel (9 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• Safety factor — the ratio between breaking strength and working load limit (for example 3:1 or 5:1). A higher factor means more margin for shock loading and wear.
• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.

Before you buy

• Know the load weight and the hitch you will use.
• Check the rated capacity for that hitch and the sling angle.
• Confirm fittings and pin sizes are compatible with your rigging.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
