There are different types of blocks with their specific designs to suit a particular purpose. Some types are equipped with bronze bushes while other types have conical roller bearings depending on frequency of use and line speed.
Snatch blocks allow the wire rope to be attached easily by opening up the block instead of threading the wire
rope through the block.
All types carry the following markings:
• Working Load Limit;
• manufacturer’s identification symbol (GP);
• traceability code;
• CE.
