CMI’s compact aluminum block is small and strong with a large capacity and robust design. Knurled knob for easy push and turn opening. Orange 7075 alloy sideplates, 3-inch aluminum sheave, bronze bushing and stainless steel axle. Proudly made and manufactured in the USA.

CMI has developed the Holdway in conjunction with arborist JB Holdway to simply add friction to a rigging scenario. With a 3/4? rope capacity and an incredible MBS of 35,000lbs the Holdway can be used as a midline attachable rigging point or redirect. The large bend radius of the Holdway allows more of the fibers of the rope to safely share the load and increases the life of your line when compared to other friction devices. This device is intended to replace rigging rings or standard arborist blocks in different situations.

SMC combined 54 years of design and manufacturing knowledge with an uncompromising program of innovation, prototyping and user feedback to create our new Apex Swivel Pulley. The result is a pulley with unmatched security and deceptively simple ease of use.

A patented, low-profile, triple-action lock prevents accidental openings, but the intuitive and ergonomic design can be opened with one hand. The robust lock is operated by three distinct actions: pivot the lock, depress the lock, and swing the side-plate. Simply closing the side-plate re-engages the lock and secures the rope.

The symmetrical side-plates are optimized for use with prusik-based progress capture systems and minimize the possibility of mis-rigging.

When unlocked, the side-plates swing away to streamline setup and offer maximum versatility when placing the pulley anywhere in your system.

The cold-forged, custom designed swivel eye accommodates up to three carabiners and the rounded profile offers excellent soft goods compatibility when you want to eliminate the carabiner altogether.
The APEX is best-in-class when you need a robust, versatile, and American-made pulley that is perfect for use in rescue, rope access, or arborism
