Pulleys for Climbing, Rigging, and Ziplining – Shop Top Brands
When it comes to lifting, climbing, and rigging, pulleys are essential tools that offer smooth rope movement, reduced friction, and increased efficiency. While similar to blocks, pulleys are typically smaller, lighter, and designed for use with soft rope, making them a go-to for arborists, tower climbers, and recreational users.
At Lifting.com, we offer a wide selection of pulleys from industry-leading brands, including CMI, Petzl, Rock Exotica, ISC, and US Rigging (USR). Whether you need a compact micro pulley, a medium-sized rigging pulley, or a large-frame pulley, we have the right gear for your needs.
Top Pulley Brands & Models
- CMI RP110 Micro Pulley: A staple in arborist and climbing applications, the CMI RP110 is a compact micro pulley designed for redirecting rope, tending hitches, and improving climbing efficiency. Its lightweight aluminum construction ensures durability while keeping bulk to a minimum.
- CMI RP102 & RP103 Medium Pulleys:
- CMI RP102 – A bushing-based medium pulley designed for smooth and consistent operation under moderate loads. Ideal for tree climbers and riggers needing durability and reliability without excessive friction.
- CMI RP103 – A bearing-based medium pulley that offers higher efficiency and reduced resistance, making it a better choice for high-speed or frequent-use applications where friction reduction is crucial.
- CMI RC103 "Cable-Able" Pulley: Most pulleys are not designed for use with wire rope, as soft rope is the standard for climbing and rigging applications. However, for specialized needs, the CMI RC103 is one of the few pulleys that can accommodate wire rope. Featuring a steel sheave, this pulley is designed for cable-based rigging operations, making it an excellent choice for tower work, industrial lifting, and heavy-duty setups where wire rope is necessary.
