Pulleys play a crucial role in various activities involving ropes and lifting at heights. They change the direction and mechanical advantage of a pulling force, making tasks more efficient and controlled. Here’s a breakdown of their applications:

• Adventure:
  • Ropes Courses: Pulleys route the lifeline cable on ropes courses, allowing participants to navigate smoothly and safely.
  • Tyrolleans: Pulleys create a zip line system by redirecting the user’s weight and enabling a thrilling ride.
• Industrial Climbing, Arboriculture & Height Rescue:
  • Hauling Systems: Pulleys create mechanical advantage for lifting loads, rescuing casualties, or hoisting tools during high-angle operations.
  • Rigging and Lifting: Pulleys are used in complex rigging systems to control tension, redirect forces, and safely maneuver heavy objects at heights.
