Scaffolding Pulley Uses

The gin wheel scaffolding pulley can be used in many different areas although they are commonly seen on construction sites. This is due to the anchoring eye being able to fit easily over a standard scaffold pole, thus commonly used by scaffolders too.

A scaffolding pulley wheel on its own is of little use, it must always be used with the appropriate fibre rope. It must seat correctly into the recessed groove around the wheel. The user must be knowledgeable in knot tying and lashing so that loads can be attached securely and remain so throughout the lifting process. An improperly lashed load due to poor knot tying techniques can be catastrophic.

Proper planning and training is highly advisable.
