GUNNEBO JOHNSON CORP MHSB12S14TS SNATCH BLOCK WK SIZE 13.2 TONS

Gunnebo Johnson MHSB12S14TS Snatch Block – WK Size, 13.2-Ton Capacity

Product Overview:
The Gunnebo Johnson MHSB12S14TS is a heavy-duty, high-performance snatch block designed for demanding lifting, pulling, and rigging applications. This model is part of Gunnebo Johnson’s professional-grade rigging hardware line, known for its robust construction and reliability in industrial, construction, marine, and offshore environments.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Model: MHSB12S14TS

• Manufacturer: Gunnebo Johnson Corp. (a leading brand in lifting and safety solutions)

• Type: Snatch Block (a pulley block with a side plate that opens to “snatch” or receive a rope/wire without threading the end through).

• Size Designation: WK Size (Refers to the sheave size and overall block dimensions, following industry-standard classification).

• Rated Capacity: 13.2 Tons (Metric Tons, approximately 29,000 lbs). This is the Working Load Limit (WLL).

• Sheave: Features a large-diameter sheave designed to minimize wear and bending fatigue on wire rope, extending rope life. The sheave is typically mounted on sealed ball bearings for smooth, low-friction operation.

• Side Plate: Equipped with a side opening plate (the “snatch” feature) with a secure closing mechanism (likely a locking pin or latch) for safe and easy insertion of the rope.

• Construction: Built from high-strength alloy steel for maximum strength-to-weight ratio. Components are usually heat-treated for durability.

• Finish: Often features a corrosion-resistant finish, such as galvanized or painted, to withstand harsh job site conditions.

• Fittings: Includes a heavy-duty, swiveling lifting hook (or shackle) for easy connection to anchors, slings, or other rigging points. The hook typically has a safety latch.

• Application: Ideal for use with wire rope in applications requiring direction changes, mechanical advantage systems (e.g., in a pulley system to double lifting capacity), or re-direction of pulls. Common in recovery operations, crane work, logging, and material handling.

Increase efficiency and safety on your worksite with the Gunnebo Johnson MHSB12S14TS Snatch Block. Engineered for professionals, this robust block features a 13.2-ton (29,000 lb) working load limit, making it perfect for heavy lifting, pulling, and rigging tasks. The side-opening design allows for quick and easy insertion of wire rope without needing to thread the end, saving valuable time. The large, bearing-mounted sheave reduces rope wear and ensures smooth operation.
