Xinda Steel Cable/Rope Universal Double Pulley XD-9789: One Pulley, Two Rope Types, 22kN High Strength

Ideal for Ziplining, Outdoor Traverses, and Aerial Ropeways

I. Product Overview

In rope work, pulleys are essential components for changing direction, hauling loads, and rigging systems. However, traditional pulleys have a common problem: steel cable pulleys and rope pulleys are usually not interchangeable, forcing users to carry different pulleys for different scenarios.

The Xinda XD-9789 double pulley solves this problem. It is compatible with both standard ropes and steel cables, features built-in ball bearings, an automatic spring-loaded gate, and dual stainless steel attachment points — one pulley for ziplining, outdoor traverses, and aerial ropeways.

III. Key Design Features

3.1 Universal for Steel Cable & Rope

This is the biggest advantage of the XD-9789.

Traditional pulleys are usually designed for either fiber ropes or steel cables — not both. The XD-9789 features a grooved track design that runs smoothly with nylon ropes, static ropes, and steel cables.

  • For steel cable: Ziplining, aerial ropeways, cargo transport
  • For rope: Outdoor traverses, rescue hauling, rope protection
  • One pulley, multiple uses — no need to carry two sets of equipment

3.2 Sealed Ball Bearings – Smooth as Silk

The XD-9789 is equipped with sealed ball bearings:

  • Reduces rotational friction
  • Improves mechanical efficiency
  • Smooth, stable operation without sticking
  • Extends bearing service life

Whether hauling heavy loads or high-speed sliding, the ball bearings provide a smooth spinning experience.

3.3 Automatic Spring-Loaded Gate – 3-Step Rope Installation

Traditional pulleys require awkward gate opening, alignment, and closing — especially difficult with gloves on.

The XD-9789 features a spring-loaded front gate:

StepAction
Step 1Press the spring-loaded gate
Step 2Insert the rope
Step 3Release the gate — it snaps back automatically

The gate automatically closes after rope insertion, greatly improving efficiency, especially when wearing gloves or working in complex environments.

3.4 Dual Stainless Steel Attachment Points – Greater Stability

The top of the pulley features two stainless steel attachment points:

  • Can attach two carabiners simultaneously
  • Made of high-strength 304 stainless steel — corrosion resistant
  • Meets the needs of high-altitude work, rescue, and more
  • Redundant connection points for added safety

3.5 High-Strength Materials – Lightweight & Portable

The XD-9789 is made of 7075 aviation aluminum + 304 stainless steel:

ComponentMaterialFeature
Pulley body7075 aluminumHigh strength, lightweight
Load-bearing parts304 stainless steelWear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, strong
Attachment points304 stainless steelRust-proof, durable

Total weight is only 409g — lightweight and easy to carry without sacrificing strength and durability.

IV. Technical Parameters Explained

ParameterValueExplanation
Maximum Breaking Load22 kNApprox. 2.2 tons — ultimate strength
Working Load Limit150 kgSafe working limit for daily use
Applicable Rope Diameter≤13 mmCompatible with most ropes
Gate Opening16 mmFits various connectors
Weight409 gLightweight and portable
StandardXF 494-2023Complies with fire/rescue standards

Safety Note: The working load limit of 150kg is the recommended safe working limit. The maximum breaking load of 22kN is the ultimate test value — do not exceed the working load limit in daily use.

VI. Product Advantages Summary

AdvantageDescription
Universal for steel cable & ropeOne pulley works with both rope types — no need for multiple sets
Ball bearingsLow friction, high efficiency, smooth operation
Automatic spring-loaded gate3-step rope installation, self-closing — saves time and effort
Dual stainless steel attachment pointsAttach two carabiners — added safety margin
High-strength materials7075 aluminum + 304 stainless steel — lightweight & durable
22kN high breaking loadApprox. 2.2 tons ultimate strength — ample safety margin

VII. Usage Guidelines

  1. Check rope diameter — Ensure rope/cable diameter does not exceed 13mm before use
  2. Steel cable use — After using steel cable, inspect sheave grooves for unusual wear
  3. Confirm gate is closed — Ensure the spring-loaded gate has fully snapped back after rope installation
  4. Regular inspection — Check bearing rotation for smoothness, check attachment points for deformation
  5. Avoid overloading — Working load limit is 150kg — do not exceed
  6. Cleaning & care — Remove dirt and debris after use; keep bearings clean

VIII. Who Is It For?

  • Zipline / ropeway operators — Core component of zipline systems
