Rope Hoist Pulley System, 4400LB Pulley Block and Tackle, 8:1 Ratio Lifting Power 65ft, Heavy Duty Pulley Block for Hunting Lifting Heavy Objects Garage Warehouses Building

The media could not be loaded. I like this Rope Hoist Pulley System. It has a 1/4 Rope/Line. Block and hook is made of steel with plastic pulley. Wishing it's Stainless and with a much thicker gauge. Quality is good enough for momentary usage.

Works fine - rope not long enough for my attic - remember fully extended rope length will be 1/4 of actual rope.

Didn’t think it would work, but absolutely did the job. Great product

I have a water softener that uses salt, the 40 pound bag salt was very easy to lift with this pulley, should have get this long time ago.

Not what I expected and not what I would stand underneath something I had hoisted up above my head. First, the ad copy explicitly states metal wheels (called sheaves) and metal ball bearings. It does not have that. The wheels are plastic on metal sleeves. So there goes the strength and long term durability of the pulley system.The product states it uses ¼” woven polypropylene rope. The breaking strength is 1200 lbs. but the recommended working load for that rope is about 120 lbs. new. I won’t even get into the shear strength of the machine screws holding the pulley blocks together. Suffice to say the entire design is certainly pushing strength limits and not to industrial standards.Also, in this and some of the other on line pulleys, the illustrations have been altered to show a 1:6 mechanical advantage. In reality, the system as receive is a 1:5 ratio. That short tail end shown in the illustration…. with the knot… not the pulling rope end…must be tied off on the bottom of the upper block’s lower bolt.So if you are looking to lift something valuable or to lift above your head, I recommend you spend the money and get something much more robust. You get what you pay for.

I purchased this to raise a 150lb. "through wall" air conditioner 9ft. off the ground for installation in my living room wall (cathedral ceiling). At $20 I consider this item "perfect" for objects up to "possibly" 300lbs(*occasional homeowner use only, this is not an industrial grade tool*). Considering the lighter build quality and rope thiness the max weight rating for this product isn't realistic. However for objects up to a few hundred pounds and at its price point it serves it's purpose perfectly!Once you evaluate your scenario based on my observations this item may be perfect for you!(THIS IS NOT A COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL OR CONTRACTOR GRADE PRODUCT, BUT AT $20 I WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT!)

It will work for small jobs

My wife and I are physics nuts and are using only these Yatointo pulleys to pull this car up this ramp. Immediately we had some difficulty because the rope that came with it is 1/4” and would not be sufficient to use for 4,430 lbs up a 27 percent grade, by hand. So we opted to try and use it with 3/8” rope but it was almost too big. But we used to pull out cars up with a winch and then my son challenged me to pull it up by hand. I hate to crawl under cars anymore and welded a ramp to pull our cars up on. The use of mechanical advantage is fascinating and we’ve been doing it this way ever since.UPDATE: this pulley literally fell apart as we were pulling (by hand) this BMW 328i up my 27 degree ramps! I was disgusted because I SHOULD have had an easy time. We had TWO (2) of these and shouldn’t have had any trouble whatsoever pulling 3340 lbs with an 8 to 1 mechanical advantage! You can see by the photos I’ve attached that using 3/8” poly rope rather than the 1/4” poly rope, the plastic sheaves literally split down the middle. Save your money and buy HD pulleys!
