Pulleys with built-in swivels help eliminate twisting of ropes in tree climbing and rigging systems.
Swivel-pulley from SMC. Cold-forged swivel eye offers 360-degrees of access, with space for up to three carabiners. Rounded shape is excellent for use with textiles and carabiners alike.
Rock Exotica's triple-attachment swivel pulley combines swivel, rigging plate, and pulley into one great tool. The Hydra can be used on your rope bridge for a sliding connection point which also eliminates rope twisting, or even as a lanyard adjuster or to tend your friction hitch (though the swivel won't come into play in that setup). We're sure you'll find many other uses for this great new pulley.
The Hydra can be loaded at any of the three rubber-lined carabiner holes on the swivel top, and has a maximum rope diameter of 1/2” (13mm), breaking strength of 28kN (6294 lb), and a WLL of (5kN 1124 lb).

The Omni-Block pulley has a built in swivel to help ensure that the rope fairleads in and out of the block so that all pulling force is placed squarely onto the sheave. This helps to preserve the breaking strength of the system and to prevent the rope from abrasion with the cheek plates. Ideally suited for use as a false crotch with a climbing line, the Omni-Block will help to prevent the rope from getting twisted. 1/2” capacity. Omni Specsheet (.pdf file).
WLL 810 lb. Breaking Strength 8,100 lb.
This double block is ideal for creating mechanical advantage when lifting branches, pulling trees against the lean, or pre-tensioning a rigging line. Built in swivel to help ensure that the rope fairleads in and out of the block so that all pulling force is placed squarely onto the sheave. 1/2” capacity. Omni Specsheet (.pdf file).

If you're familiar with the Rock Exotica Omni-Block pulleys, you know that the 2.0" Double will take its place as the largest double in the Omni family. In addition to hallmark Omni features like an integrated swivel, and push-button access to the sideplates, the 2.0" features a prussic-minding sideplate and working load limit (WLL) of 10kN (based on a 4-1 ratio). The full specs for the 2.0" Double are available by downloading the Omni Specsheet (.pdf file).
MBS 40 kN, WLL 10 kN, max rope capacity 1/2", weighs 20.9oz.
The Rock Exotica Omni-Block 2.6" is a real beast, combinging all the performance features that have made the Omni popular with a larger sheave, wider cheek plates, and a impressive 80kN breaking (20kN WLL)! The Omni-Block 2.6" will turn freely on the steel axle, keeping rigging ropes aligned and running smoothly. The wider cheek plates on this largest Omni offer additional protection for your lines. Like all Omnis, it is easy to attach mid-line thanks to the swinging sideplates with push-botton catch. This Omni can be spliced direclty on to a Loopie sling by request. Omni Specsheet (.pdf file).

“ Boy, this is one smooth operator. Very well made, easy to use. Side plate opens quickly, button is accessible wearing atlas 'fit' gloves. Positive click engagement, very smooth pulley. The swivel feature is really handy and makes for organized rigging. Highly recommended. ”
As the largest pulley in the Omni family, the new Material Handling Pulley (MHP58) features a large 4.5" sheave and 6,000 lbf WLL. It is also the first Omni-Block to accept up to 3/4" lines, and is designed for overhead lifting. The integrated swivel allows the block to orient while reducing gain during lifting and rigging applications. The rope can be installed and removed with one hand, all while remaining connected to the anchor. The MHP58 is fully ASME B30 compliant.

The SPIN L1 pulley is designed for maximum simplicity in setting up hauling or load deviation systems, and tyroleans. Its swivel allows the pulley to be oriented under load, and direct connection of carabiners, ropes or slings. Can be opened, even when attached to the anchor.
The SPIN L2 is a double pulley designed for maximum simplicity when setting up hauling systems or tyroleans for work at height or rescue. The two parallel-mounted sheaves and auxiliary attachment point allow the pulley to be used when setting up various types of complex haul systems. Its swivel facilitates handling, allowing the pulley to be oriented under load, and direct connection of carabiners, ropes or slings. Openable even when attached to the anchor.
The SPIN L1D pulley is to be used in conjunction with a descender for maximum simplicity in setting up a deviation for a heavy load deviation, or haul systems for work at height or rescue. Its faceted sheave only rotates in one direction, providing excellent efficiency when hauling and adding friction zones for the rope for additional braking when lowering. The swivel facilitates handling, allowing the pulley to be oriented under load, and direct connection of carabiners, ropes or slings.
The SPIN S1 pulley Very high efficiency, compact single pulley with swivel.
Possible to open, even when attached to the anchor, the SPIN S1 OPEN pulley is designed for maximum simplicity in setting up haul or load deviation systems and tensioned highlines. Compact, reducing weight and bulk, which is especially useful during technical rescue. The sheave with sealed ball bearings provides excellent efficiency. The swivel facilitates operations, allowing the pulley to be oriented under load and direct connection of carabiners, ropes, or slings.
Very high-efficiency, compact single pulley with gated swivel.
Possible to open, even when attached to the anchor, the SPIN S1 OPEN pulley is designed for maximum simplicity in setting up haul or load deviation systems and tensioned highlines. Compact, reducing weight and bulk. The sheave mounted on sealed ball bearings provides excellent efficiency. The swivel facilitates operations, allowing the pulley to be oriented under load. The gated opening on the swivel makes the pulley compatible with a wide variety of products (PAW rigging plates, and more), reducing bulk during set up.
Releasable double progress capture pulley for haul systems.
Releasable, the TWIN RELEASE progress capture pulley is designed to set up 4:1 haul systems for work in confined spaces or for technical rescue. Releasing the cam is possible with the ergonomic handle. The brake integrated into the moving side plate and the main faceted sheave with single-direction rotation, offer additional braking and better control when lowering heavy loads. The two sheaves provide excellent hauling efficiency. The swivel facilitates operations, allowing the pulley to be oriented under load and direct connection of carabiners, ropes, or slings.
The Buckingham OX BLOCK is a rope snatch block with an integrated friction bar used for lowering loads, snubbing loads, and raising loads. It allows the rigging professional to handle loads with greater control. When lowering loads, tension is transferred from the worker to the OX BLOCK. The OX BLOCK replaces standard handline blocks, parted blocks, and various snatch blocks. The OX BLOCK also has greater Working Load Limits than blocks of similar size.
