Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SKYLOTEC ORBITER D Pulley used for?
The ORBITER D is designed for professional rope hauling, mechanical advantage systems and rope redirection. It can be incorporated into suitable rope access and technical rescue systems.
Is the ORBITER D a double pulley?
No. Despite the letter D in its name, the H-275 features a single sheave and an additional attachment point. This allows it to be incorporated into more complex hauling arrangements, but it is not a two-wheel double pulley.
What is the maximum rope diameter?
The ORBITER D is compatible with suitable ropes up to 13mm in diameter. Always confirm rope and system compatibility with the manufacturer's instructions.
What is the breaking strength of the ORBITER D?
The pulley has a minimum breaking strength of 32kN and a working load limit of 8kN. These are different ratings and must not be treated as interchangeable.
Does the ORBITER D use ball bearings?
Yes. The pulley features a ball-bearing sheave with a stated efficiency of 96%, helping reduce friction in correctly configured hauling systems.
What is the additional attachment point used for?
The additional attachment point can be used when constructing approved hauling or mechanical advantage arrangements, allowing compatible equipment to be connected as part of the system.
Does the ORBITER D require regular inspection?
Yes. Inspect the pulley before use, including its side plates, attachment points, sheave and bearings. Periodic inspections must be completed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable workplace requirements.
