Pro-source PSHL-008 Side Release Snatch Block 4400 Lb

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSHL-008 is a side release snatch block rated for a 4,400-pound load limit, designed for wire rope rigging and lifting applications. The block features a single sheave with a 3-inch outside diameter, sized for 5/16-inch diameter wire rope. The side release design allows the block to be opened and positioned onto a rope mid-line without threading the rope end, a practical advantage in rigging setups where changing load direction or adding a mechanical advantage is required. Steel construction provides the durability expected in demanding field use. At 3.08 pounds, the unit is portable enough for both fixed rigging stations and mobile lifting operations.

This snatch block is suited for industrial, construction, utility, and maintenance rigging applications where wire rope is the primary running line. Typical installations include overhead lifting, load pulling, and redirect rigging on job sites. The side release mechanism makes it especially useful when rope is already tensioned or when quick repositioning is needed. It is appropriate for use in both light industrial and general trade environments wherever a single-sheave wire rope block is specified.

Installation Notes

Snatch blocks of this type are installed by qualified riggers familiar with applicable load limits and rigging standards. Before installing or repositioning, confirm the load path is slack or properly controlled. Never exceed the rated load limit, and inspect the block, shackle pin, and rope for wear or damage before each use. Consult applicable ASME B30 or OSHA rigging standards for proper use and inspection intervals.
