Featuring deliberate, water-related design elements, the SMC 2" Swiftwater Pulley addresses the unique needs for swiftwater rescue situations. The Swiftwater Pulley fits between SMC's Micro PMP and 3" PMPs in both size and workload and represents a reasonably priced, non-NFPA alternative to other midsized pulleys. Made using high-quality aluminum, this lightweight pulley weighs 6 oz. and features a 2" sheave. Side plates are precisely tensioned for easy one-handed operation and secure placement at any point along the rope. Wide base and side plate design works well to "mind" Prusik cords of up to 8mm. Anodized side plates feature a series of holes that help to minimize the hydroplaning effect that might occur with a typical pulley. The top hole accepts two large rescue carabiners or multiple small carabiners and allows the carabiners to be rotated freely and completely even while closed. Sealed Ball Bearings provide optimal efficiency. Made in the USA.
The SMC PMP is a rescue size pulley that is designed for use in serious rigging applications. Featuring unique shaped sideplates that maximize the effectiveness of the Prusik hitch as part of a progress capture device, its compact size in combination with a larger than usual diameter sheave makes even static rescue ropes easy to manage. The heart of this pulley is a high efficiency precision sealed ball bearing used to counter the performance losses inherent in large pulley systems. The extra large top hole easily accepts three rescue-sized carabiners and low profile fasteners help eliminate possibility of snagging.
