Pulley Blocks

Snatch Blocks

The portable pulley that redirects force in a lifting or pulling system, allowing a single operator to manage high tension with reduced effort. Kailipu offers 18 snatch block lines across single, double and triple sheave configurations from 0.5 t to 8 t, with sizes from 3'' to 10'', so a rigging buyer can cover all common snatch block needs on one order without sourcing from multiple suppliers.

Who It Is For

Buyers Who Specify Snatch Blocks

  • Rigging and lifting distributors stocking a full range of snatch blocks under one brand
  • Marine and offshore contractors needing hot dip galvanised blocks with hinged lids for deck use
  • Construction sites requiring swivel-mounted blocks to prevent rope twist during lifts
  • Cranes and hoist operators needing triple sheave blocks for high-tension wire rope applications
  • Logistics and transport teams using snatch blocks in trailer tie-down systems with dynamic loads
  • Fabrication yards specifying blocks with custom tonnage stamping and private label marking for branded kits
Problems Solved

What Snatch Blocks Solve on the Job

  • A job requiring a 6'' snatch block with a shackle mount, but the supplier only stocks hook versions and cannot deliver in time
  • A 5'' double sheave block needed for wire rope, but the only available model is rated for rope and not suitable for the load
  • No block with a hinged lid to protect the sheave from debris in a construction yard or offshore deck environment
  • A marine project needs hot dip galvanised finish, but the block arrives with a standard black finish and rusts in saltwater
  • No working load limit stamped on the block, so it cannot be logged into a lifting register or approved for use
  • A small order for a 4'' triple sheave block is rejected by a factory because it does not meet their MOQ
  • A block with a non-swivel design is used in a dynamic lift, causing rope tangling and uneven wear

Answers

Snatch Blocks FAQ

What is the working load limit on a snatch block?
The working load limit is the maximum safe load the block is designed to carry. It is determined by dividing the minimum breaking load by the design factor, normally 4:1 unless otherwise stated.
What does HDG mean on a snatch block?
HDG stands for Hot Dip Galvanised. It refers to a thick zinc coating applied to the block for strong corrosion resistance, suitable for marine and outdoor environments.
Can I use a snatch block with a wire rope that is larger than the rated diameter?
No. Using a wire rope larger than the sheave's rated diameter causes excessive wear, reduces block life, and increases the risk of failure. Always match the rope size to the block's specification.
Do you supply Material Test Certificates with snatch blocks?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is issued with the batch on request. Every batch undergoes proof load testing and dimensional inspection.
Can you custom stamp tonnage and brand on the block?
Yes. Custom tonnage stamping private label marking and branded packing are available. Send the marking layout and pack configuration for a quote.
What is the difference between a B Type and K Type snatch block?
B Type has a closed frame with a hinged lid for protection. K Type is a compact design with a simpler frame, often used where space is limited. Both are rated for the same load classes.
What is the lead time for a small order?
Lead time is evaluated from multiple angles before confirmation. Small orders are accepted and processed directly from the factory without a middleman layer.
