HOW TO USE THE REEVE
Nate Williams with the Petzl Technical Institute is taking a look at the Petzl REEVE carriage pulley and some of its common uses. The REEVE is made from two highefficiency pulleys mounted onto a rigging plate. This design simplifies the setup of rescue systems on a highline by reducing the amount of equipment needed, as well as reducing the overall height of the system. The pulleys open on the same mechanism as the Petzl SPIN pulleys, which means they can be operated with one hand or while wearing gloves. There are five lower attachment holes, which allow for multiple rigging options. Let’s see how to use REEVE with two track lines and vertical offset, on a sloped highline and with two track lines and horizontal offset.
