Important Information

Choose the correct size according to the working load, rope dimensions and installation requirements.

Friction rings are best suited to high-load applications with limited rope movement, as they create more friction than traditional pulley blocks.

Not suitable for lifting operations or use as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
