Free-Nub®, High-Performance Deflection & Lifting Pulley
Low-friction pulley "Absolute control of heavy loads"
Concept description : The Free-Nub® friction pulley is the benchmark tool for demanding retention and lifting work. Designed to support heavy loads in pruning, industrial or rescue applications, it can deflect, reeve or brake large masses with exceptional fluidity. Its extra-wide groove optimizes load descent while minimizing wear on your ropes, guaranteeing total control during the most critical maneuvers.
Engineering for safety: Specifically designed for professionals in construction, forestry and rescue, Free-Nub® reduces excessive friction and prolongs the life of your textile equipment. Compliant with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, it ensures total reliability on the toughest worksites.
Features & functions :
Rope protection: Wide, smooth grooves adapted to all types of synthetic rope, limiting overheating when lowering loads.
Multi-industry versatility: Ideal for pruning dismantling, forest towing and industrial lifting.
Modularity & Hoists: Perfect for creating cascade hoist systems, deviation points or as a mobile anchoring accessory.
Technical accessibility: Fully compatible with the Rope-Puck device for safe stopping and seamless integration into your existing work systems.
Areas of application :
Pruning & Forestry: Retention of logs and branches during delicate dismantling operations.
Construction & Industry: Lifting heavy loads and securing complex worksite areas.
Rescue & Caving: Installation of reeving systems for rapid evacuation of equipment.
Technical specifications
Conformity: Certified to Machine Directive 2006/42/CE.
Materials: High-tenacity alloy with optimized surface treatment for glide.
Rope type: Recommended for non-abrasive ropes (synthetic or technical fibers).
Instructions for use
Compatibility: Use only with ropes, slings and webbing of compatible strength and diameter.
Maintenance: Inspect groove condition before each operation. Never exceed specified load limits.
Lab Innovation Tip
Optimize your safety with the Rope-Puck. For even greater control of your load descents, combine the Free-Nub® with our Rope-Puck blocker. This is the lightest and strongest textile retention system on the market.
