Climbing pulleys

When completing your climbing equipment, it is worth remembering a small gadget such as climbing blocks. This interesting piece of climbing equipment has a wide range of hobby applications, but is also successfully used in other fields. Popular uses for blocks, in addition to mountaineering, include working at heights, high-altitude rescue, caving, creating tyroleans and other attractions in rope parks. The climbing pulley has a simple design, which is based on a rotating sheave mounted on bearings. This reduces the friction occurring on the rope when pulling or lowering weights, which is the main task of pulleys. At Militaria.pl in this category you will find a range of climbing blocks that will satisfy all enthusiasts of high altitude sports, tyrolean descents and users who use this type of equipment in their work. A number of features determine the choice of the right rope pulley, tailored to the type of our activities and work and to individual requirements. To make it easier to choose the right pulley, it is worthwhile to familiarize ourselves with the specifics of the product and learn about some important parameters that characterize the various models.

We can divide rope pulleys by construction, where we distinguish two types: single and double. Single blocks are the simplest models based on a single sheave. They work well when carrying various types of equipment during a field trip, and you can also successfully use them instead of climbing carabiners, which will reduce friction on the rope. Double blocks, on the other hand, have two movable sheaves arranged side by side. They are used when creating vertical and horizontal systems for lifting and lowering significant loads with reduced weight (tyroleans or winches). Double blocks work well for carrying heavier loads, due to the use of two independent rotating mechanisms. Among the double blocks, we can also distinguish tandems, or double blocks, where the sheaves have been arranged one behind the other in a single line. Climbing blocks can also be distinguished by the type of bearing, where we can distinguish between a plain bearing or ball bearing. The cheaper and more common solution is the plain bearing, which is sufficient in the vast majority of applications. It consists of a rotating roller, inside of which a brass lubricated sleeve is mounted. Ball bearings are suitable for very heavy loads, as they have greater strength. In this type, an additional element - movable metal balls - has been placed between the rotating roller and the bearing sleeve, which increases the strength of the system. In our store you will find functional, lightweight and reliable climbing pulleys, recommended for climbing enthusiasts and altitude workers.

Climbing blocks available on our site are usually made of aluminum alloy, which provides them with great strength and lightness. Self-lubricating bushings ensure quiet, efficient and trouble-free operation, both during high-altitude work and climbing. Here you will find both single and double sheave products. The single pulley will stand up to simple rope systems, while the double pulley will work well for more demanding loads. An excellent application for this type of block will be descents on tyroleans, where the maximum speed is 10 m/s. Depending on your needs and requirements, you can choose a product tailored to your individual expectations. Check the offer of climbing blocks at Militaria.pl.
