Lever Hoists, Snatch Blocks & Pulleys

Lever Hoists, Snatch Blocks & Pulleys

A lever hoist, also known as a ratchet lever hoist or a lever chain hoist, is a mechanical device that is used to lift or lower heavy loads. A lever hoist is made up of a lever that is affixed to a chain or cable, which is wrapped around a drum or wheel. By exerting force on the chain or cable using the lever, the load is lifted or lowered as required. They are often made from steel so they are long lasting.
A snatch block is a pulley inside metal casing. They are used to handle heavy goods where they work as a pulley point to change the direction of a rope or cable and can also be used to increase the lifting/pulling capacity of wire hoists and winches. They are commonly used in forestry and off-road recovery situations where heavy loads need to be moved.
Snatch blocks and pulley blocks are both pulley blocks however pulley blocks alter the direction of rope and are capable of increasing the line pull of a hoist or winch by multiplying the number of lines used. A snatch block is designed so the wire rope can be easily fitted where as a pulley block is always closed and the line must be threaded through the axle.
