Mac:

I just pulled this info off of the internet, the max line size is 7/16" and the max safe working load is 500 kg / 1100 lb. With that said, as per the attached picture in my post, the card on the back of the snatch block states the product deforms @ 900 kg / 2000lbs.

So proportionately I would say the max safe working load would be in the neighbor hood of 450 kg / 1000 lbs. I don't know if the newer block has been reconfigured or resized, they were purchased a couple of years ago.
