PMI Advance HX Haul System

The new PMI Advance Tech HX Haul System provides an extremely strong and versatile haul system. Weighing around 3 pounds, this kit is pre-rigged as either a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage system. Just flip the kit end to end for either advantage as needed. Also included are two SMC Lite Steel carabiners, a 5mm oval screw link, and a PMI accessory cord lanyard which releases or sets the progress capture cam. This entire kit comes in a compact storage bag and is everything you need to quickly deploy a strong mechanical advantage system.

The SMC Advance Tech HX Pulley is a double pulley with an integrated cam that provides immediate progress capture without the need of prusik loops. The all in one frame and cam design presents a compact form factor. Stainless pins retain the rope when a rigged system is packed so that system can be pulled out and used immediately. Manufactured from high quality aluminum and anodized to help prevent corrosion. The Advance Tech HX is the most advanced pulley of its kind on the market today. The Advance Tech HX will support ropes diameters from 7mm up to 12.5mm. The Advance Tech HX is ideal for all rescue applications where a small mechanical advantage system is being utilized.

 

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Integrated Cam for progress capture without the need of prusiks.
• High efficiency sealed ball bearings providing flawless function under conditions that would shut down lesser grade pulleys.
• Side plates are precisely tensioned for easy one-handed operation and secure placement at any point along the rope.
• Low profile fasteners reduce snagging and hanging up when pulley is being moved.
• Wide base design works most efficiently with Prusik cords of up to 8mm.
• Made in the USA

7mm	2,000 lbf. (8.9kN)
9mm	2,500 lbf. (11.1kN)
12.5mm	4,500 lbf. (20kN)

Cam Rating 1:1 Haul System Strength – This configuration is not recommended due to the relatively low strength results, but are included in these instructions to provide the necessary guidance when developing rigging methods.  Single rope strand is rigged through the engaged cam and over one sheave.  The force is applied between the end of the rope and the Pulleys carabiner hole.
