FAQs

What is the maximum weight this pulley can handle?

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this pulley block is 2 Ton (approximately 2000 kg).

What size rope can I use with this pulley?

The pulley is designed to accommodate rope diameters up to 24MM.

How do I get the test certificates?

Test certificates are provided via email after your purchase has been completed.

Is the swivel hook designed to rotate 360 degrees?

Yes, the swivel hook is designed to rotate freely, allowing for optimal angling and preventing rope twists.

What does the 'Double Sheave' mean?

A double sheave means the pulley has two grooved wheels (sheaves). This configuration allows for the creation of a pulley system that provides a mechanical advantage, reducing the force needed to lift or move a load.

What standards does this pulley meet?

This pulley block conforms to the BS EN 13157: 2004+A1: 2009 standards for lifting equipment.

How durable is the galvanized finish?

The galvanized finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental wear, significantly increasing the product's lifespan, especially in outdoor or humid conditions.

Troubleshooting

Pulley does not rotate freely

Check for debris or obstructions around the sheaves. Ensure the rope is not binding. Inspect bearings for damage or lack of lubrication.

Swivel hook is stiff or difficult to turn

Clean the swivel mechanism and check for any foreign objects. Apply a suitable lubricant to the swivel point.

Rope appears to be wearing excessively

Confirm the rope diameter is within the 24MM limit. Ensure the rope runs smoothly over the sheaves without rubbing against the pulley housing. Check for sharp edges on the rope or pulley.

Visible signs of corrosion on the surface

Clean the affected area gently. Apply a light coat of suitable corrosion inhibitor or lubricant designed for galvanized surfaces. Store in a dry environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High Safe Working Load (SWL) of 2 Tons for robust applications.
  • Double sheave design provides mechanical advantage for easier lifting.
  • Swivel hook adds crucial flexibility and prevents rope kinking.
  • Galvanised finish ensures long-term durability and rust resistance.
  • Meets strict BS EN safety standards for user confidence.

Cons

  • Test certificates are provided via email after purchase, not immediately.
  • Maximum rope diameter is limited to 24MM.
  • Dimensions might require careful consideration for space-constrained setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the attachment point can safely support the load and the pulley's SWL.
  2. Attach the swivel hook securely to the anchor point.
  3. Thread the rope through both sheaves, following the intended pulley system design.
  4. Verify that the rope diameter does not exceed the 24MM maximum.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for static ropes with a diameter up to 24MM.
  • Compatible with various securing hardware (carabiners, shackles) that fit the swivel hook's eye.
  • Designed for use in conjunction with appropriate lifting or towing equipment.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the sheaves, hook, and frame for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
  • Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate the sheave bearings if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines for pulley lubrication.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and prolong its lifespan.
