Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, this 32kN (7172 lbs) rated pulley boasts pressed aluminum plates for superior security and side-swing cheeks for effortless rope management (up to 15mm). Its smooth, rounded edges minimize rope wear, enhancing longevity. Featuring two large eyelets for versatile multi-anchor setups, the Secura excels in complex rescue systems or zipline applications. TAA-approved and backed by Fusion Climb's 22 years of experience in fall protection and outdoor gear, this pulley prioritizes safety and durability.
These high-quality pulleys are a versatile and robust solution for a wide range of applications, from tree climbing and rescue operations to sailboat maintenance and construction projects. Users consistently praise their smooth operation, attributing it to the well-engineered bushings (though some speculate about the presence of ball bearings, enhancing the smooth action). The pulleys boast a surprisingly high strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for easy handling and deployment in various challenging environments. Their substantial weight capacity, tested successfully with loads exceeding 300 lbs in multiple scenarios (including a 4:1 system hauling a 400lb dock), speaks volumes about their durability and reliability. The large becket accommodates a variety of attachment mechanisms, including Prussik knots (although users recommend alternative methods for progress capture on long lines). Furthermore, the "Made in the USA" construction is a significant advantage for many buyers. While the kN rating on the becket is lower than the pulley components, this has not prevented successful use in substantial rigging projects up to 250ft+ with a 5:1 ratio, proving to be significantly more economical than comparable models. The exceptional price point, compared to competitors, only adds to the overall value proposition.
