Anodized aluminum construction provides the 40 kN breaking strength required for professional timber rigging. This combination of strength and smooth rotation ensures optimal throughput for demanding vertical tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Edelrid Puck Pulley suitable for rigging?
The device is specifically engineered for tree care rigging and auxiliary cable car systems. It features a 40 kN breaking strength to handle the high forces generated during professional arborist work. This makes it an essential rigging component for heavy-duty timber management.
What rope sizes are compatible with this pulley?
This hardware is approved for use with textile ropes with a diameter of less than 13 mm (0.51 in). The internal geometry is optimized to guide these specific diameters through the anodized aluminum roller. Using the correct rope size ensures maximum efficiency and safety.
How does the bearing type affect performance?
The unit utilizes a ball-bearing-mounted pulley to achieve a high 94% efficiency rating. This reduces friction significantly compared to standard bushings, allowing for easier load lifting in block and tackle systems. It is the preferred choice for high-repetition industrial use.
Can I use this with multiple anchor points?
The frame design allows the device to function as a rigging plate for complex anchoring scenarios. This versatility simplifies the gear required for systems needing multiple connection points. It streamlines the setup of sophisticated hauling or tensioning arrays.
What safety standards does this product meet?
The pulley is certified under the EN 12278 standard for professional mountaineering and rescue pulleys. This ensures the hardware meets strict European safety requirements for load-bearing equipment. Industrial operators can rely on this certification for site compliance.
