Pulley systems are simple machines that make lifting heavy objects easier. They consist of a rope or cable that passes over one or more wheels (pulleys). A single pulley changes the direction of force ...

In the world of rope rescue, we use mechanical advantage systems really for two reasons. The first being a force increasing tool and the second, a means of reducing the weight of a load during a ...

We still remember the old days when finding a pulley system for your Chevy involved digging around in scrapyards for just the right combination. We would then clean up the scavenged parts and more ...
