Tractel EH Single Side Opening SnatchBlock, Capacities of 1000kg to 8000kg

A hook with safety latch is installed on the EH’s snatch blocks model to ensure a quick and safe attachment.

Once the snatch block is not under tension, the opening, operated by turning ¼ turn the snatch block body around the steel crosshead, makes the introducing of the wire rope in the groove possible, while the block remains suspended. All the parts stay interdependent during the flange opening and the wire rope introduction.

The locking axle is secured by a safety pin, which prevents from any unscrewing or uncontrolled movement.

Steel crosshead with self-locking trunnions avoids any opening of the loaded snatch block. This locking system is easy and efficient. The becket permits a block sheaving 3 times.

Applications

The single sheave snatch blocks of the EH’s range are mainly used for temporary applications for pulling and lifting, when quick assemblies  and/or dismantlings are required. They can be suspended to a fixed or mobile anchorage point with the right strength corresponding to the required load. Thanks to an easy instalment and availability of a becket, these snatch blocks are most often used for blocks assmblies or wire rope direction changes. EH’s snatch blocks are fitted with a swivel hook which ensure good positioning of the pulley regarding the cable.
The EH’s range can be used with standard tirfor® and tirak® wire rope cable.
