Lifting mechanisms used for rigging and lifting

Snatch blocks are lifting mechanisms used for rigging and lifting. Using a snatch block in a block and tackle application reduces the amount of force required to lift an abnormally heavy object. A pulley system is used in conjunction with wire winch lines or other types of rigging cables, by looping the rope through the pulley several times before hooking to the object that is to be lifted. The force required diminishes proportionately with the amount of pulleys used during the lift.
