CMI began making pulleys quite simply, with the introduction of just four 2 3/8" rescue pulleys to the market in 1982. They quickly became known the world over for their strength, durability and flexibility.
Whether you need a pulley for casual top-roping or long hauls, everyday confined space entry or "film at 11" rescues, or any of the variety of applications created by the blossoming ropes course industry, CMI has a pulley designed with your exact need and requirements in mind.
CMI has expanded its original line of high quality pulleys to fulfill the needs of users of steel cable.
An extension of our ever popular Classic design, the "Cable-Able" series adds compatibility with steel cable to the utility of our proven designs. A hardened steel sheave treated with an exclusive anti-corrosion coating creates a rugged product that will outlast the elements and look good for years.
The UIAA versions of these pulleys feature laser marking consistent with the UIAA standard, and a rivet style stainless steel axle. All other specifications remain the same.
Please Note: RC105 and RC106 are not available in UIAA versions. These pulleys also have information located on the CMI Double-Ended Pulleys page.
