    Mount these pulleys to a flat surface to assist with horizontal pulling or to guide a rope.
    Ball Bearing—Pulleys with a bearing are easier to turn than pulleys without a bearing.
    Aluminum and Nylon—Aluminum and nylon are lightweight and corrosion resistant.
    Stainless Steel Housing—Stainless steel is the most corrosion resistant.

    Mount these pulleys to a flat surface to assist with horizontal pulling or to guide a rope.
    2 Grooves—Pulleys with two grooves are for use where multiple pulleys move a single load, such as block and tackle systems. They require about half the force of a single-groove pulley to move the same load.
    Ball Bearing—Pulleys with a bearing are easier to turn than pulleys without a bearing.
    Stainless Steel Housing—Stainless steel is more corrosion resistant than steel.

    Mount these pulleys to a flat surface.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    2 Grooves—Pulleys with two grooves are for use in applications where multiple pulleys move a single load, such as block and tackle systems. They can reduce the force needed to move the load by up to two times compared to single-groove pulleys.
    Ball Bearing—Pulleys with a bearing are easier to turn than pulleys without a bearing.
    Style 3—Style 3 pivots up to 200° for different pull directions.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel pulleys are more corrosion resistant than steel.
