4:1 Pulley System
The Tech Safety Lines 4:1 Pulley System is a compact mechanical-advantage system designed for assisted rescue and casualty movement at height. It allows a trained rescuer to lift and support a casualty's weight, transfer the load to a compatible rescue system, and prepare the casualty for controlled lowering.
Why It's Used
Lifting or transferring the weight of an incapacitated worker can be difficult during an at-height rescue, particularly when access and working space are limited. This 4:1 system provides mechanical advantage while automatically capturing hauling progress, helping trained rescuers raise and manage the load without manually holding every increment of progress.
A lever-operated release allows the rescuer to extend or release the pulley system when required.
Key Features
- 4:1 mechanical advantage for assisted rescue operations
- Automatically captures hauling progress
- Lever-operated release and extension
- 45 kN (over 10,000 lb.) minimum breaking strength
- 3 kN (675 lb.) working-load rating
- Pulley sleeve helps prevent the pulley from inadvertently flipping within itself
- Lightweight and versatile configuration for work-at-height rescue
- Designed to support casualty lifting and load transfer
- Integrates with TSL assisted-rescue systems
- Pre-assembled configuration reduces setup requirements during rescue operations
Compatibility
The 4:1 Pulley System is designed for integration with the SRK-15® Micro Rescue Kit. During an assisted rescue, the pulley system can be used to lift the casualty and transfer their weight to the SRK-15® for controlled lowering.
