Pulleys

The CMC ProSwivel Pulleys combine a swivel and pulley into one tool with a unique sideplate that opens while the pulley is still attached to the anchor. Teaming up with Rock Exotica, CMC now offers more swivel pulleys certified to NFPA standards. Our renamed and expanded ProSwivel line includes eight pulleys to choose from. You can pick the best CMC ProSwivel Pulley for the job, going bigger when you need more efficiency.

Expanding on the original, patented swivel pulley line by Rock Exotica, the CMC ProSwivel Pulleys are time-tested, Made in the USA, and brought to you by two companies committed to quality and service. Available in single and double sheave versions from 1.1″ radius up to 2.6″, these pulleys are an excellent option for Mechanical Advantage (MA) systems for hauling and ascending, and they work well in combination with high anchors, tripods, and redirects.

Improved! As one of the most versatile tools in rope rescue, the CMC AZTEK ProSeries System reflects our philosophy of keeping rigging equipment simple, efficient, light, compact, and multi-purpose. Originally developed by Reed Thorne of Arizona-based Ropes That Rescue, the AZTEK (Arizona Technician’s Edge Kit) is used worldwide and offers more than 100 rigging solutions in a single bag. The CMC AZTEK ProSeries System is made in USA of US and foreign components.

This system now includes an updated AZTEK ProSeries Pack that has improved fabric durability, new reflective piping, and a fresh OD Green color. The pack is feature rich with 1000D nylon/Tarpaulin construction for abrasion resistance, mesh panel for ventilation and drying, Garage Pockets™ to protect cord, double-zippered top compartments, and tension lock buckles for carrying on the waist or thigh. Note: product videos may show previous pack model (no longer available in Coyote color).

Features

The CMC AZTEK ProSeries System is the first AZTEK system to be UL Classified to NFPA 1983 (2017 ED) – General Use – Manufactured System. The system is thoughtfully designed to support rescue teams and each component has been tested and proven to work efficiently in a multitude of lab and field scenarios. Everything comes pre-rigged and fully assembled for immediate deployment.

The set-of-fours includes 15.2 m (50 ft) of 8 mm AZTEK ProSeries Cord, which is CMC’s high-performance 100% nylon blend. These can extend to 3.6 m (12 ft) while providing a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage with a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 38 kN (8,542 lbf).

For a personal edge travel-restrict with nearly 15.2 m (50 ft) of adjustable travel, attach the carabiner of the personal end of the system to an appropriate anchor and restrict edge travel using the integrated Purcell connected to your harness. The sleeved web edge-pro helps protect the cord around anchors with abrasive surfaces.

Uses

Whether using the set-of-fours (SOFs) as a quick 4:1 or 5:1 M/A for a multitude of rigging applications, or for personal edge protection, the versatile AZTEK ProSeries System gives rescuers endless rigging solutions:

• Quickly adjusts litter attendant position

The design of our redesignedCSR2 (Confined Space Rescue) Pulley is stronger yet lighter and incorporates 7/16 in (11 mm) to 1/2 in (13 mm) lifesafety rope. Ideal for industrial applications as well as many rescue operations, the CSR2 uses our proprietary, patented locking system, which eliminates a toothed cam or Prusik so it can be easily and safely released while under load. (The absence of the toothed cam means that even if the system is fully collapsed and pulled tight, it can still be released easily. Systems using a toothed cam must be raised even further before the cam can be released, which can be impossible if the system is fully collapsed without thinking about this problem ahead of time causing potential problems with the load on the system becomingstuck.) An integral thrust-bearing swivel reduces torque by aligning the pulley with the load, thereby increasing efficiency and safety. Its larger size allows for the easy application of rescue-size carabiners.

Machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, the CSR2 features a high-strength aluminum side plate, sealed bearings and anodized aluminum sheaves. The side becket location allows for maximum lift height and full retraction of the system, and a removable becket cover facilitates changing out lifeline with sewn terminations.

Specs

• All-new stronger, lighter-weight design
• Compatible with 11-13mm life safety rope
• Meets NFPA 1983 (2017 ED) General Use
• CSR2 Pulley MBS 46 kN (10,341 lbf)/CSR2 Double Pulley MBS 45 kN (10,116 lbf)
• Machined from solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum
• Made in USA

This lightweight, full-strength, Prusik-minding pulley is ideal for mountain rescue, swiftwater rescue, or technical teams where equipment weight is a significant consideration. By machining the side plates, the thickness of the metal can be varied to maximize the strength-to-weight ratio, a process that cannot be done with traditional bent metal side plates. Sealed ball bearings provide high efficiency, and aluminum side plates protect the rope. An extremely low-profile stainless steel axle assembly reduces snagging on rocks, roots, and uneven surfaces. Designed for lifeline up to 1/2 inch (13 mm) in diameter.

Available in Single or Double versions.

Do not load a single side only of a double sheave pulley.

Our Kootenay Ultra Pulley is the most functional, versatile knot-passing and high-strength tie-off pulley available. For high lines, the rigging holes allow for optimum separation of tag lines and hoist ropes for reeving variations. For English and Norwegian reeves, a greater spread between the hoist pulleys significantly reduces the chance of inadvertent spinning of the load. Separate rigging holes make rigging easier and also prevent carabiners from binding against each other. For high-strength tie-offs, the integrated sheave-lock pin inserts easily into the sheave-lock hole from its stowed axle position. The strong, durable anodized aluminum sheave is fitted with sealed ball bearings for long wear and high efficiency.
