SpanSet 4:1 Locking Pulley System 50M
SpanSet 4:1 Locking Pulley System 50M
The SpanSet 4:1 Locking Pulley System is a confined space access and retrieval hoist built around a 4:1 mechanical advantage pulley set with an automatic over speed brake. The brake locks the descent instantly if you lose control of the rope, which is the key safety advantage over a plain block and tackle. It is supplied with 50m of 11mm kernmantle rope, which gives about 12.5m of working reach because the 4:1 reeving uses four times the rope, so order a longer rope where you need more vertical range. Rated at 250kg for two people, it can raise a rescuer with a casualty. It ships ready to deploy in a backpack with a 2m attachment strop, an RF5 rope grab, an anchor sling and alloy steel triple action karabiners. The rope is an AS 4142.3 rescue kernmantle. SpanSet does not publish a single certification number for the assembled system, so confirm the current certification before use.

Why only about 12.5m of reach from 50m of rope?
A 4:1 system passes the rope through the pulleys four times, so it uses four times the rope for a given lift. Order a longer rope length if you need more vertical range.
What does the automatic brake do?
It locks the descent the moment you lose control of the rope, so a casualty or worker is held rather than dropping. It is the main safety advantage over a plain block and tackle.
Is it certified?
The rope is an AS 4142.3 rescue kernmantle. SpanSet does not publish a single certification number for the complete assembled system, so confirm the current certification with SpanSet before use.
