Snatch Block strong enough?

AYes, it is. The breaking strength of our Snatch Block is 13,668 pounds which will not be exceeded if you stay within the Lewis Winch’s 8,000 lb. maximum load. Only a fraction of that load will actually be on the Snatch Block. For rigging purposes where a life may be at stake, we recommend using our larger Snatch Block with a breaking strength of 39,903 pounds. QI am a small person and weigh about 150 lbs. Can I safely handle the Lewis Winch? AYes, any person can use the Lewis Winch because this portable winch does all the heavy work. Of course, your Lewis Winch must be anchored to something heavier or stronger than the object that you are trying to pull for it to work.
