Will this pully system accept an 11mm ( ~ 1/2") rope without binding?

Going to camp on Thursday,14 March. Will get an answer then and post.Upon actual viewing and measurement;the clearance would be minimal and the block frame will be touching. The rope provided is strong and will lift any deer.

Take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fusion-2-Rescue-Pulley-Blue/dp/B008KECIRG Breaking strength is 34 kilonewton, or roughly 7500 pounds, and it is designed to accept up to a 5/8" rope. NOTE: It is aluminum, so it cannot be used with a steel winch cable.

The rope is 3/8 but has a bit of stretch to it. I would not personally use it for the 2 ton rating. Maybe that only applies to the metal parts? Are you really lifting 2 tons though?

Yes! I too believe the rope would snap. The pulleys act as fulcrums reducing the rope strength required, but I still do not feel the rope is strong enough.However the rope is the least of the problem--the hoist is inefficient! For me it would not move a 1700 pound trailer (on wheels) up a slight grade. I believe the too small rope increases already excessive friction of this poorly constructed hoist. It can not preform as advertised!

Actually, I have all the reason to rope straight up is the easiest. If you have the pulley set to wide (wider than our object), it will take slightly more force to pull it up. The fact is you will be pulling 4 times the distance of vertical travel in exchange for using 1/4 of the force that is needed to pull. But besides properly place the pulley above, the easiest way to pull up the object of desire is to pull with one hand and put the object up with the other. I do it with my bike and it is rather easy. Perhaps you can ask for a second set of hands for help. Enjoy.

Good afternoon,This machine has a 3/4" binding capacity. Please let me know if you have any further questions.Cheers,-Josh Y

The supplied rope is approximately 0.25" diameter. I wouldn't recommend varying very much from that size as it may effect the performance of the rope locking mechanism and the pulleys. The length needs to be at least 5 times the distance from the mount rail to the lowest point you want it to go down to. For instance, if you have the rail mounted to a 10' ceiling and you want the hooks to go all the way down to the floor you would need about 50' of rope. Unless you are lifting a weight higher than that of an average bike, you might want to wait until you see the supplied rope before buying the kevlar cord . . . the supplied rope is quite adequate in my opinion.

I am using it on my atv winch which is a 1/4 rope . 3/8 is the max you can go to.

Agree with below responses. It is difficult to work with. It does NOT tie like string as it advertises. I would use wire or other line meant to hold 100 lbs.

I do not know for sure. The bike couldnt be pulled all the way up as is would then be at an angle equal to the slope of the ceiling. Most likely wont stay attached. If bike is kept fairly level, which it does automatically with the pully system, i wouldnt see why it wouldnt work. It may sway more as the pullys wont be pulled tight to each other. My only other concern would be being able to release the break on the rope due to the angle of the bracket. Hope this helps, it is a very nice bike hoist system and you can make it work in your condo!

It could, if you are very determined to do so. The rope is thin and not manageable for anything at all heavy. I would not buy it again and have regarded it a total loss. When you buy the metal carabiners, buy some decent rope.

Sure it would as long as you get the correct length. Also you will have to figure out how you will tether the rope ends. The rope ends come with hooks.

No. Too Thick and too slow, there are far better choices on Amazon. Even if you are looking for a longer rope for Double Dutch, this might not be the best solution.

For one rope , with one end tied to a post one tightener would work on the other end

Yes, the Poly Rope Hoist is easy to use. When you pick it up, even if the ropes are laying "bundled" on each other, as soon as you begin to pull the two pulley sections apart, the ropes all line up. Very simple. The two ton rating is more of a wish than reality. I knew that when I bought it. 500 pounds is more like it, in a lift. Maybe you could "drag/pull" a two ton object across the ground, but that doesn't mean you're exerting two tons of force.

No, it will not accept 1/2" rope, but it does come with a yellow nylon rope that is strong enough to hoist your deer. I hung 2 this year with no issues.

I have a 60 meter 10mm rope and it works fine. Not the same, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.
