FAQs

1. Can Petzl rescue pulleys be used in all weather conditions?

2. Are Petzl rescue pulleys compatible with all types of ropes?

Petzl rescue pulleys are compatible with a wide range of ropes, including dynamic, static, and accessory cords. However, it's essential to ensure that the diameter of the rope matches the specifications recommended by Petzl for optimal performance and safety. Using incompatible ropes can lead to slippage, damage, or failure of the pulley system.
