ajohnson — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 22:05:34 +0000

Unlike traditional rigging plates that rely on a single bolt system to connect two multi-purpose devices, the Origin TT features dual quick-release locking pins. This design removes the need for carabiners and shortens the overall length of the system when using dual devices. The Origin TT is engineered to enhance coordinated, dual-handed operation, providing greater efficiency and control.

Harken Apex 1.5″ Swivel Pulley

ajohnson — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 17:36:28 +0000

The Apex Swivel Pulley offers both easy one-handed operation and unmatched security. The Apex is a mid-line attachable pulley that secures the rope using a low-profile, patented, triple-action lock mechanism that can easily be opened with one hand. This lock is operated by three distinct actions: pivot the lock button, depress it, then swing open the side plate. Simply closing the side plate re-engages the lock mechanism and solidly secures the rope. The operation is intuitive and ergonomic. The Apex features symmetrical side plates which are optimized for integration with prusik-based progress capture systems. This streamlines system set-up and minimizes the possibility of mis-rigging. The beautifully forged swivel eye was designed to accommodate up to three carabiners so you can use the Apex in virtually any rigging scenario. It is also soft-goods-compatible for situations where you want to eliminate the carabiner altogether. The swivel eye’s versatility allows it to excel in a wide range of rigging configurations. The U.S. made Apex Pulley line represents the new standard for rescue, rope access, or arborism.

HARKEN Wingman

PMI Technical Team — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 00:37:44 +0000

Harken’s new Wingman applies new design and technology to achieve more from a compact personal mechanical advantage system. Wingman’s innovative design makes it among the first offerings in this category to achieve internal progress capture mechanically within the unit rather than relying on prusiks to achieve that externally. Wingman combines a ratcheting sheave to stop the rope with a composite handle or wing the operator can open and close under load for a well-modulated ‘fine-tuned’ release. Under full load even with the sheaves pulled completely together, the system may be released quite easily–with full control using one hand on the wing and the other tending the line. The Wingman has a minimum overall length of just 8” which means more clearance under a tripod and more throw during a pick-off. The device is also ideal for creating adjustable directionals, work positioning and much more. It may be configured as a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage system. These revolutionary features plus ball bearings within the sheaves that maximize efficiency for raising and lowering loads of up to 681lbs, makes Wingman a simple tool you will always want at your side. NFPA “G” and EN 12278 certifications are pending. Comes in an industrial-grade ballistic nylon carrying case with locking buckle. Case includes drawstring and drain grommets to separate unit and line for proper deployment and line drying. MEETS THE MANUFACTURED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS OF NFPA 1983, INCORPORATED IN THE 2022 EDITION OF NFPA 2500 The H-86666 double becket block portion of the WingMan is CE and UKCA certified. H-86666 Double pulley with side becket Certification: EN 12278.2007 This pulley is designed to be used in a system for preventing a fall from height. When required this product must be used with a comprehensive fall protection system in accordance with EN 363 and a fall arrest harness that meets EN361.

Harken Apex Swivel Pulley 1.5

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 07:53:59 +0000

The Harken Apex Swivel Pulley was developed through design, prototyping and user feedback. The result is a pulley with unmatched security and deceptively simple ease of use.

A patented, low-profile, triple-action lock prevents accidental openings, but the intuitive and ergonomic design can be opened with one hand. The robust lock is operated by three distinct actions: pivot the lock, depress the lock, and swing the side-plate. Simply closing the side-plate re-engages the lock and secures the rope.

The symmetrical side-plates are optimized for use with prusik-based progress capture systems and minimize the possibility of mis-rigging.

When unlocked, the side-plates swing away to streamline setup and offer maximum versatility when placing the pulley anywhere in your system.

The cold-forged, custom designed swivel eye accommodates up to three carabiners and the rounded profile offers excellent soft goods compatibility when you want to eliminate the carabiner altogether.

The APEX is best-in-class when you need a robust, versatile, and American-made pulley that is perfect for use in rescue, rope access, or arborism.
