About Pulleys

Hanging Pulleys for Wire Rope—For Horizontal Pulling
Hang these pulleys from hooks, screws, and bolts to assist with horizontal pulling or to guide a rope.
Pulleys with two grooves are for use where multiple pulleys move a single load, such as block and tackle systems. They require about half the force of a single-groove pulley to move the same load. They have a bracket on the bottom for tying off one end of your wire rope.
Pulleys with a bearing are easier to turn than pulleys without a bearing.
Nylon is lighter in weight than metal. Aluminum is corrosion resistant. Stainless steel is the most corrosion resistant.
Pulley with carabiner can mount to steel framing or hang as part of your rigging system.

Mounted Pulleys for Wire Rope—For Lifting
Mount these pulleys to a flat surface.
Pulleys with two grooves are for use in applications where multiple pulleys move a single load, such as block and tackle systems. They can reduce the force needed to move the load by up to two times compared to single-groove pulleys.
Pulleys with a bearing are easier to turn than pulleys without a bearing.
Stainless steel pulleys are more corrosion resistant than steel.
Style 3 pivots up to 200° for different pull directions.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
