Pulley Blocks and Hoists

Pulleys and hoists are used to lift and move loads with less effort. The pulley redirects the rope or multiplies the force, while the hoist is the lifting device, manual or motorised, that raises the load and holds it at height. They are used on building sites, in workshops, in warehouses and for work at height.

Types in the collection

• Pulleys and blocks, including well pulleys and nylon-sheave pulleys, with hook, for rope hauling.
• Safety pulleys and high-efficiency pulleys, with progress capture, such as the Petzl Traxion, for hauling and recovering loads.

• Accessories such as pulley arms and ropes.

Brands included are Petzl, Novomach, Fervi, Milwaukee, Vigor and CSC Edilizia.

How to choose

Start from the weight of the load and the lifting height: the capacity of the equipment must always exceed the load. Then consider the available power supply (single-phase or three-phase mains, or battery), the speed and how often it will be used. To lift people or suspended loads, you need equipment and accessories expressly designed for that use.
