Rope Access and Pulleys

We have discussed the rope access technique and uses of pulleys in our last blog. However, let me recollect some points. As we know rope access is a technique by using rope and some other mechanical devices along with it. As the name indicates the main item is always the rope.

The rope access technique is used to access the unreachable areas with the help of rope access equipment. To perform this job, rope access technicians are required. They need to qualify for the exam and they should not be fear about the heights. With the help of a rope access equipment kit, they can do it easily.

Because the works related to the rope access technique is always related to heights. We are using this as a job for cleaning and maintenance of the buildings. While cleaning the building, we can see there is a lot of areas and corners which are not able to access directly or with the help of scaffoldings and cradles.

In a rope access kit, there are some mechanical devices such as safety harness, lanyards, static or dynamic ropes, safety helmets, carabiners, fall arresters, Pulleys, ...etc. Here we can check some of the uses of pulleys. One of the most familiar examples of the pulley is using multiple pulleys in order to function the elevators.

A pulley system is used to lift cargo items to be hoisted to higher floors. In India, the pulley system is used in wells to hoist the bucket out of the well. In order to function many types of exercise equipment pulleys are using. In order to lift and place heavy materials construction pulleys are used in the site.

The simplest form of use of pulley is the mechanism at a theatre to move the curtains. Pulleys are moving the curtains apart. This is something similar to blinds on windows operate using a pulley system to move the blinds up and down. We can pull the cord on the blinds and the pulley system causes the blinds to open or close.
