Product Information

Full details

This double pulley from Fort Fasteners is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, marine applications, and industrial settings needing efficient lifting, rigging, or directional redirection. Its primary benefit is providing smooth, effortless operation for heavy loads up to 150kg. A potential consideration is its 1.75-inch sheave, which may not be suitable for extremely thick ropes or specialized applications requiring larger diameters. Key features include a durable reinforced nylon body, a high load capacity, integrated side plates for rope security, and a maintenance-free stainless steel axle.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this pulley can safely lift?

The pulley has a working load capacity of 150kg (330 lbs). Always ensure your load does not exceed this limit for safe operation.

What type of rope is best suited for this pulley?

This pulley is designed for ropes that can comfortably fit within its 1.75-inch (44mm) sheave diameter. Synthetic or natural fiber ropes within this range will work effectively.

Does the pulley require lubrication?

No, the stainless steel axle pin is self-lubricating, making the pulley maintenance-free in terms of lubrication.

Can this pulley be used in saltwater environments?

Yes, the reinforced nylon body is UV-resistant and corrosion-proof, making it suitable for marine and saltwater applications.

What is the breaking strength of the pulley?

The pulley has a breaking strength of 450kg (990 lbs). This is the point at which the pulley is expected to fail, and it is significantly higher than the working load limit.

How do I attach the pulley to an anchor point?

The pulley features a side-mounted attachment point designed for easy connection using compatible hardware like carabiners, shackles, or straps.

Troubleshooting

Pulley is stiff or does not spin freely

Check for rope binding or debris caught in the sheave. Ensure the rope is correctly threaded and not excessively thick for the sheave diameter. Inspect the stainless steel axle for any visible damage.

Rope is slipping off the sheave

Verify that the integrated side plates are properly aligned and not obstructed. Ensure the rope is centered on the sheave and not being pulled at an extreme angle that could cause it to jump the groove.

Attachment point feels insecure

Ensure you are using a compatible and correctly sized carabiner, shackle, or strap for the side-mounted attachment point. Double-check that the anchor point itself is robust and suitable for the load.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and corrosion-resistant construction.
  • High working and breaking load capacities for demanding tasks.
  • Rope-securing side plates prevent derailment.
  • Maintenance-free operation due to self-lubricating axle.
  • Easy attachment to various mounting points.

Cons

  • Sheave diameter may be too small for very thick ropes.
  • Nylon construction, while durable, may not be suitable for extreme abrasion.
  • Not designed for continuous, high-frequency industrial use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the double pulley, identify the side-mounted attachment point. Use a compatible carabiner, shackle, or strap to secure the pulley to your desired anchor point. Thread your rope through both sheaves, ensuring it runs smoothly.

Compatibility: This pulley is designed for use with ropes up to the point where they can comfortably pass through the 1.75-inch sheave diameter without binding. It is compatible with standard rigging hardware such as hooks, eye bolts, and straps.

Care: Due to its reinforced nylon body and stainless steel axle, the pulley requires minimal care. Regularly inspect the sheave for any debris or damage. Avoid exposing it to chemicals that could degrade nylon. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. No lubrication is required for the axle.
