Snatch Block

What you will find here

This section lists 17 snatch block. Prices currently range from $9.69 to $1,067.59 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use snatch block 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 snatch block

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

• Polyester (5 products) — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.
• Steel (2 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• End fitting — the hardware at the end of the strap or chain. Match it to your anchor points — flat hooks for flatbed rub rails, wire or snap hooks for D-rings, grab hooks for chain, E-track fittings for E-track.
• 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).

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.
