Antal is making a new generation of snatch blocks that are simple, strong and easy to operate. The cheekplate revolves around the sheave axle allowing the block to open; a safety pin, which engages automatically on closing, stops the block from opening accidentally.
• High strength resin sheave with composite fiber main bearing and double side ball bearings
• Safety ball to stop the block from opening, with an adjustable screw to set the ball in the locked position
• Hard anodized and Teflon® coated revolving cheek-plates, which open in either direction
• Rounded eye for webbing is standard, plus SS inserts are available for a shackle or snap-shackle
• Extra small eye on the cheekplate for a hanging cord
• The block is easily dismantled for simple repair and maintenance
