Pro-source PSHL-009 Side Release Snatch Block 17600 Lb

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSHL-009 is a side release snatch block designed for wire rope rigging applications. It features a single sheave with a 6-inch outside diameter and is built to handle wire rope up to 5/8 inch in diameter. Rated at a 17,600-pound load limit, this block is suited for heavy-duty pulling, lifting, and load-redirecting tasks. Constructed from steel, it delivers the structural integrity required for demanding jobsite conditions. Riggers, ironworkers, and industrial maintenance crews are the primary installers and operators of this hardware.

This snatch block is used in wire rope rigging setups where a side-opening design is needed to insert or remove the rope without threading it through the block. Typical applications include construction hoisting, equipment moving, and utility line work. The side release feature speeds up rigging changes on jobs where rope routing must be modified frequently. It is appropriate for both fixed and mobile rigging configurations in industrial and construction environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this snatch block should be performed by qualified riggers familiar with ASME B30 rigging standards and applicable worksite safety regulations. Always verify that the anchor point, wire rope, and all rigging hardware are rated at or above the intended working load before use. Inspect the block, sheave, and side release latch for wear, cracks, or deformation prior to each use. Never exceed the rated load limit and follow all applicable OSHA rigging guidelines.
