INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Proper Installation
Before use, ensure the 409 Double Sheave Snatch Block is securely attached to your rigging system. Attach the swivel hook or shackle to a reliable anchor point, and make sure the rope or cable is threaded through the sheaves smoothly. Always check that the sheave grooves align with the rope diameter to avoid unnecessary wear.
Monitor Load Limits
Do not exceed the working load limit (WLL) of the snatch block. Overloading can compromise the integrity of the block and pose serious safety risks. Always verify the WLL and match it to your load requirements. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s specifications or your project engineer for guidance on safe lifting practices.
Routine Maintenance
Regularly inspect the 409 Double Sheave Snatch Block for signs of wear and tear, especially the bearings, sheaves, and pressure lube fittings. Clean and lubricate the block to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion. A properly maintained snatch block ensures extended service life and optimal performance.
Safe Handling and Storage
When not in use, store the snatch block in a dry, clean area to protect it from environmental damage like rust or corrosion. Always handle it with care to avoid damage to the sheaves, bearings, or RFID components. If you need to transport it, ensure it’s securely packed to prevent any mechanical stress during transit.

OUR REVIEWS



FAQ
How do I choose the right size of 409 Double Sheave Snatch Block for my project?
-
Determine the weight of the load: Start by calculating the weight of the load you will be lifting or pulling.
-
Check the Working Load Limit (WLL): Ensure the snatch block’s WLL meets or exceeds the weight of the load to ensure safe operation.
-
Match the sheave size: Make sure the sheave size is compatible with the rope diameter for smooth operation.
-
Consult experts if unsure: If you’re uncertain, consult with our team to help match the correct block for your specific rigging needs.
What is the difference between bronze bushings and roller bearings for the 409 Double Sheave Snatch Block?
Bronze bushings offer a more traditional and cost-effective solution, suitable for light to medium-duty operations. Roller bearings, on the other hand, reduce friction further, providing smoother operation and better performance under heavier loads. If you require higher efficiency and load handling capacity, roller bearings are the ideal option for your snatch block.
How does the RFID technology in the 409 Double Sheave Snatch Block benefit my operations?
RFID technology in the 409 Double Sheave Snatch Block allows for easy tracking and inventory management. It enables users to scan and monitor the block’s usage, maintenance history, and operational status in real-time, improving workflow and reducing downtime. RFID enhances your ability to manage assets efficiently and ensures the block is serviced at appropriate intervals.
