Redirect the winch line around an obstacle, get a better angle on the anchor, or set up a double-line pull. The Super Light Snatch Block does all of that in a smaller and lighter package than a conventional heavyweight block, so it can live in the recovery bag rather than the shed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo pulley wheels to choose from:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolymer. 17,000kg minimum breaking strength.

The side plates are 7075 aluminium and the pulley is POM engineering polymer, which gives a strong, compact block with a smooth, rope-friendly running surface. The attachment geometry is made for a correctly rated soft shackle, so the whole setup stays light with no unnecessary metal connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum breaking strength: 17,000kg (MBS)\u003cbr\u003eSide plates: 7075 aluminium alloy\u003cbr\u003ePulley wheel: POM engineering polymer\u003cbr\u003eWinch line: synthetic winch rope only\u003cbr\u003eAttachment: correctly rated soft shackle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSynthetic rope only.

A correctly rigged double-line pull reduces the load on the winch, though how much depends on the angles, the anchor and the friction in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecovery loads are very high.
