The Petzl PRO Pulley is a high - efficiency, loss - proof pulley designed for easy setup in hauling or load deviation systems. Even when it's attached to the anchor, you can open it, which simplifies the process. It features a side plate that locks under load, preventing the pulley from opening during use. The large - diameter sheave, mounted on high - efficiency sealed ball bearings, is perfect for handling heavy loads. With a 95% efficiency rate, it ensures smooth operation. It's lightweight at 205 g and made of aluminum and nylon. It can handle ropes with a diameter ranging from 7 mm to 13 mm, has a working load of 5 kN and a breaking strength of 22 kN. It's certified under CE EN 12278, EAC, and NFPA 1983 Technical Use.
Using the Petzl PRO Pulley is quite straightforward. First, make sure the pulley is properly connected to the anchor. You can easily install the rope even when the pulley is attached to the anchor. When handling heavy loads, the side plate will lock automatically under the load to keep the pulley safe. Remember, the minimum rope diameter should be 7 mm and the maximum should be 13 mm. For maintenance, regularly check the sealed ball bearings and the side plate for any signs of wear. Keep it clean and dry to ensure a long service life.
