Petzl Reeve Carriage Pulley for Rescue on Tensioned Highlines

Overview

The Petzl Reeve Carriage Pulley is an all‑in‑one rescue unit that combines two pulleys and a rigging plate into a compact, single device. Built to simplify the installation of referee rescue systems on tensioned highlines, it reduces the amount of hardware you need and lowers the overall system height. Its thoughtful layout lets you pre‑assemble portions of the rig before you move to the main line, helping you work more efficiently in demanding environments.

Key benefits at a glance

• Integrated dual-pulley design minimizes clutter and lowers rig height.
• 38 mm pulleys on sealed bearings deliver smooth, efficient motion under load.
• Triple‑action side flange opening works quickly, even with gloves on.
• Red safety indicators clearly show when the flanges are unlocked.
• Large holes (19 mm) accept ropes or tapes directly for versatile rigging.

Performance and operation

Designed for real‑world rescue scenarios, the Reeve emphasizes smooth handling and dependable performance. The combination of big diameter pulleys and sealed bearings helps maintain efficient motion across varied loads, while a compact, lightweight form aids quick deployment.

• Large 38 mm pulleys with sealed bearings support efficient travel and reduced resistance.
• Red indicators provide a quick visual check of flange status for safer operation.
• 19 mm holes enable direct passage of ropes or tapes, simplifying rigging.
• Pre‑assembly and multiple configuration options enable tailored setups for different tasks.

Versatility and configurations

The Reeve can be adapted to diverse referee and rescue needs on a cableway. You can double the system by adding another Reeve pulley if rope proximity allows, or connect a pulley at the upper hole for distant ropes. It also doubles as a recovery component on a cableway and supports direct connections through its holes, with space to balance the rig and even accommodate simultaneous use by up to three people.

• Option to pair two units for extended rope runs or complex configurations.
• Holes support direct rope or tape connections; mosqueton sleeves can pass through for fast setup.
• Suitable for recovery scenarios and multi‑user operations (up to three people).
