How to Choose the Right Climbing or Rescue Pulley
Climbing pulleys are light and efficient for hauling or belay setups, while rescue pulleys are NFPA-rated for high loads and professional applications. Here’s how to select the right hardware for your setup:
- NFPA Rating: “G” (General Use) for 36 kN +, “T” (Technical Use) for lighter rope work and training.
- Harken Industrial Precision: Marine-grade bearings and stainless components designed for rope access and work-at-height efficiency.
- Progress-Capture Systems: Essential for haul and rescue scenarios to lock progress automatically during raises.
- Arborist & Rope Access Use: Larger sheaves and swinging plates manage dynamic loads safely during tree rigging or industrial access.
- Swivels: Prevent rope twist and cross-loading by allowing 360° rotation under tension; choose NFPA-rated models for life-safety applications.
- Material Choice: Aluminum for climbers and mobile work; Steel for industrial and rescue rigging where durability is paramount.
All NFPA, UIAA, and CE-certified pulleys and swivels at The Outdoor Warehouse meet professional standards for rescue, climbing, and rope access work.
Seasonal Reminder
Inspect pulleys & swivels before each season. Check bearings for smooth rotation and replace any gear with corrosion or side-plate damage.
