Optimized Fixed-Plate Stability
The fixed side-piece construction eliminates the risk of plates shifting during high-tension operations. An integrated spacer prevents the hardware from pinching or compressing when used with narrow slings. This design ensures consistent rope movement and protects your textile equipment from unnecessary frictional damage.
Precision High-Efficiency Bearings
Sealed ball bearings deliver a smooth 94% efficiency for effortless hauling and lowering tasks. This technical feature reduces the physical effort required by ground crews and climbers during intensive rigging cycles. Your team achieves faster throughput while maintaining precise control over every load in the system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum rope size for this pulley?
The hardware supports textile ropes with a diameter between 6 mm and 13 mm (0.24 in and 0.51 in). This wide range allows for versatile use across different climbing and rigging setups. It ensures optimal rope tracking for both thin high-tech lines and standard utility ropes.
Can I use this pulley on steel zipline cables?
No, the aluminum roller is designed specifically for textile ropes and slings to prevent premature metal wear. Using steel cables will damage the anodized surface and compromise the long-term integrity of the sheave. For wire applications, always select hardened steel hardware to ensure operational safety.
How much weight can this pulley safely hold?
The unit supports a maximum working load limit of 600 kg (1,322.7 lbs) for professional use. It features a high minimum breaking strength of 30 kN to handle unexpected dynamic forces. These ratings provide superior safety margins for critical rescue and heavy lifting operations.
Does the spacer need to be removed for carabiners?
The integrated spacer remains in place to keep the side plates parallel under heavy tension. It prevents the plates from drawing together and jamming the internal roller during complex maneuvers. This fixed configuration provides reliable rigging stability without the need for additional loose parts.
Is this equipment light enough for alpine climbing?
At only 122 g (4.3 oz), this pulley offers one of the best strength-to-weight ratios in its class. It fits easily on a gear loop without adding significant bulk to a climber’s kit. Professionals enjoy reduced physical fatigue during long approaches and high-altitude rigging tasks.
