With any safety equipment, procedures must be followed in order to safe operation and to prolong the life in the equipment. A snatch block can be anchored to a strongly anchored object such as a nearby tree, the addition of the snatch block mounted to the tree would then allow you to change the direction of the winch, and increase the pulling power, thus moving the heavy vehicle from the snow. The snatch block adds leverage to the pulling capacity which allows large loads to be lifted easily.Ī good example of how a snatch block works, imagine that a large vehicle is stuck in the snow, but a standard winch doesn’t have the pulling capacity to safely pull the vehicle from the snow. Once the winch is secured to the snatch block, safely mount the end of the winch to the desired item that needs to be lifted you may then begin to use the winch to lift or pull the object.
In order to use the snatch block, feed the winch line into the snatch block and make sure that it is secured, then mount the snatch block to a strong and stable surface (or it can be anchored around a stable pillar or mount. This enables snatch blocks to be set up and utilised much quicker than a sheave block which doesn't have the removable plate so the cables need to be threaded through which can be more time consuming. Snatch blocks have a handy feature of allowing the side plate to be moved meaning that you don’t need to feed the cable through the opening, but instead slot it in through the side plate then re attach. Snatch blocks are used by mounting them to a secure surface, and installing the rope or cable into the snatch block and mounting it to the desired item that you need to lift. By off-setting the anchor point, you are also able to change the direction of a winch’s cable. Through a choice of different fittings, snatch blocks can be attached to anchor points, with different models offering different means of securing the unit in place for safe and secure lifting. They act as the connection between the load and the lifting device and are used with wire or fibre rope, and are most ideal for transporting loads over small distances.
