Product Description
The GEN2 Dingo Block DSB24 is the upgraded version of our original Dingo Snatch Block DSB22 — slightly larger in size and easier to operate in real recovery situations.
The biggest improvement is the new load pin design.
Instead of removing the pin completely, the GEN2 uses a push-and-twist mechanism to open and close the block.
That means:
-
quicker setup
-
less mucking around
-
no loose pin to drop in the mud
-
less chance of parts coming loose or flying out
Another key advantage is the ability to run directly with our narrow tree trunk protector.
The loop can fit straight onto the load pin, meaning:
👉 no steel shackle
👉 no soft shackle
👉 fewer connection points in the system
We’ve also increased the size slightly, giving you more room to work and making handling easier — especially when wearing gloves or working under load.
Yes, it’s a bit heavier than the original — but the trade-off is a stronger, more user-friendly block built for real-world recovery.

Why GEN2 DSB24?
We’re big believers in keeping things simple.
Fewer moving parts means less that can go wrong or go flying.
The GEN2 Dingo Block is designed to reduce hassle in the field, improve usability, and keep your setup clean and efficient.

All Dingo Block benefits
Predictable rope control when load and angles change — no flip-out, no slip-out.
Quick Answers
• Rotating wheel Reduces friction & Heat on long Pulls
• Designed & Tested in Australia for real Recoveries.
*Direct connection to recovery points (size permitting)
*Direct connection to our NARROW TREE TRUNK Protector 60mm
*Direct connection to steel shackles
Compatibility: Synthetic rope & soft shackles (steel cable via DSB22-S & DSB24-S)
Rating: 22T MBS DSB22 / 24Ton MBS DSB24— suits most 8,000–13,500 lb winches
Real recoveries aren’t always straight or perfectly set up.
When load builds and releases, and angles shift under tension, rope behaviour becomes harder to control.
The Dingo Block was designed to keep the line contained and predictable in those moments — helping prevent flip-out and reducing unnecessary heat during long or slow winch pulls.

“What our customers say”
• “No more rope flip-out in tricky angles”
• “Smooth pulls even during load changes”
Why choose the Dingo Block?
• Lighter than traditional steel snatch blocks
• More controlled than basic winch rings
• Rotating wheel design for smoother line movement
• Soft-shackle friendly with no sharp rope contact edges
• Compact, solid, built for real-world use
Reduced Heat on Long Pulls
Unlike static winch rings that rely on friction, the Dingo Block uses a rotating wheel system.
The wheel turns with the rope, supported by a greased bush bearing between the wheel and load pin.
This reduces friction build-up and helps keep temperatures lower during long or repeated pulls — protecting your synthetic rope over time.
Compatibility
DSB22-A (Aluminium Wheel)
Designed exclusively for synthetic fibre rope.
Weight: 1.65kg
DSB22-S (Steel Wheel)
Suitable for steel cable and soft rope.
Weight: 2.15kg
DSB24-A (Aluminium Wheel)
Designed exclusively for synthetic fibre rope.
Weight: 2.2kg
DSB24-S (Steel Wheel)
Suitable for steel cable and soft rope.
Weight: 2.5kg
⚠ Do not switch back to synthetic rope after using steel cable, as embedded particles may damage fibre rope.
Built for Real Recoveries
The Dingo Block isn’t showroom gear.
It’s built for recoveries where:
• Angles aren’t ideal
• Load cycles on and off
• Rope doesn’t sit perfectly
That’s when controlled rope behaviour matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions – George4x4 Dingo Block
What makes it different from a winch ring?
Winch rings rely on friction.
The Dingo Block rotates with the rope, helping reduce heat build-up and keeping the line more contained when angles change.
Is it soft shackle friendly?
Yes. The load pin design and rope contact surfaces are smooth and designed for synthetic setups.
Is it suitable for heavy vehicles?
Rated at 22T MBS, suitable for most 8,000–13,500 lb winches.
Larger models available for heavy-duty trucks.
