Any ultimate benefit from the rescue maneuver hinges upon pulleys systems for rescue industrial rope.
Rope rescue pulley systems diagrams.
Simple m a systems can be defined as systems with all the moving pulleys moving at the same speed as the load.
The most common is a 3 1 mechanical advantage sometimes called a z rig because when rigged the rope looks like a z.
They are typically used for hauling and lifting loads but can also be used to apply tension within a system such as in a tensioned line or tyrolean.
Pulley systems introduction victims in the field of rescue often times find themselves stranded somewhere well above head level on cliffs mountains bridges buildings and other structures.
Pulley systems are used to provide us with a mechanical advantage where the amount of input effort is multiplied to exert greater forces on a load.
A few simple pulley systems are most frequently used.
Simple compound and complex.
It requires less rope than a non piggybacked 2 1 system is reasonably easy to rig is easy to add a progress capture device provides an appropriate amount of mechanical advantage to raise one or two people and with a few tweaks it can be converted into a simple 5 1 system.
3 1 system the 3 1 is the classic mechanical advantage system used by rescuers.
