Scaffolding gin wheel pulley for lifting tools and buckets on construction sites, the KATSU Tools Gin Wheel Pulley helps move loads between ground and platform levels. Less manual carrying reduces physical strain and speeds routine tasks. Is the manual, brake-free design suitable for your site’s lifting methods and safety controls?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Load Capacity: Working load limit 1000LBS, compatible with ropes up to 21.8mm diameter
- • Best for: Construction workers and scaffolders lifting toolboxes, buckets and equipment
- • Not ideal for: Operations that require a fitted brake or automated load control
200mm sheave gin wheel with a forged carbon steel eyebolt and wheel. Mainly used on scaffolding to raise buckets and toolboxes, relying on operator control rather than a brake.
High-capacity lifting – with 1000LBS working load limit
Working load limit (W.L.L) specified as 1000LBS and compatible with rope up to 21.8mm diameter, showing the maximum rated lifting capability. The W.L.L. defines the safe maximum load for typical scaffold lifting tasks.
Move heavy toolboxes and loaded buckets between levels without exceeding rated limits. Clear W.L.L. and rope-size guidance aids safe selection for common site lifts.
Smoother rope handling – thanks to a 200mm sheave diameter
A 200mm sheave diameter reduces the rope’s bending angle over the wheel, enabling easier rotation and steadier movement during lifts. Larger sheaves typically help reduce snagging on thicker ropes.
Fewer snags and steadier hauling make lifting quicker and less effortful for operatives. Practical for frequent use where rope control matters.
Built for rugged use – with forged carbon steel eyebolt and wheel
Forged carbon steel construction and a green painted surface are specified, describing components designed for strength and durability. Forging creates robust parts able to withstand repetitive load cycles.
Sturdy construction suits the knocks and knocks of site life, matching user reports of strong, long-lasting build quality. Reliable components reduce the need for frequent replacement.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for KATSU Tools Gin Wheel Pulley
- Forged carbon steel construction – Provides reliable strength for frequent lifting tasks on busy construction sites
- Swivel eyebolt – Allows pulley alignment under load to reduce rope twisting and awkward pulls
- Designed for scaffolding – Secures to scaffold poles for stable lifting of buckets and toolbox loads
- Brake-free, simple design – Keeps maintenance low while relying on standard operator lifting control
