Ratchet Pulley – Heavy-Duty Adjustable Lifting System

Ratchet Pulley – Heavy-Duty Adjustable Lifting System

The Ratchet Pulley is a practical and robust lifting system designed to make equipment suspension safer and more convenient. Whether you're lifting a grain bag, suspending a fermentation vessel, or hoisting a light fixture, this pulley is built to handle it. With a 113 kg weight rating and approximately 2 metres of heavy-duty polypropylene rope, it’s a reliable addition to any home brewery or workspace.

Perfect for Lifting Grain Baskets and Malt Pipes

This pulley is the ideal tool for lifting the heavy grain basket or malt pipe from your all-in-one brewing system. Whether you're using the Brewster Dominator, BrewZilla, or any brew system designed to allow pulley-assisted lifting, this setup gives you full control and safety during mash-out.

No more awkward lifting or messy spills—just attach the carabiner to your basket's handle or lifting point, and raise it smoothly with one hand. The ratcheting mechanism keeps it locked in place, allowing you to drain wort with confidence while avoiding burns or instability.

Built for Brewing & Utility Use

Originally popular with indoor gardeners and hobby brewers, the ratchet pulley has proven itself as an incredibly versatile tool. It’s ideal for hoisting brew bags in BIAB setups, adjusting the height of a suspended heater or fermenter, or holding gear out of the way for cleaning or access.

Whether you need hands-free stability during the brew day or a secure mount point for storage, this tool brings strength and convenience together.

Durable Polypropylene Rope

Included with the pulley system is a high-strength polypropylene rope, approximately 2 metres long. This rope resists fraying, moisture damage, and heat—making it well-suited for the conditions found in brewing environments.

Its flexibility makes it easy to coil and stow when not in use, while the woven structure provides excellent grip and holding power during hoisting or adjusting.

Reliable Ratcheting Mechanism

What sets this pulley apart is its ratcheting lock system. Once you pull the rope through to your desired length, the internal ratchet holds it firmly in place. This allows for easy one-handed adjustments and prevents slippage under load.

To release, simply activate the quick-release mechanism—no complicated rethreading or unsafe yanking required.

Heavy-Duty Carabiner Clips

At each end of the pulley system, you'll find sturdy metal carabiner clips that provide quick, secure attachment to your gear or anchor points. These clips are built to resist deformation and keep your load firmly in place—even at full capacity.

Clip onto a ceiling hook, rafter, wall bracket or kettle handle in seconds—no knots, loops, or fiddling required.

Applications Beyond Brewing

Though ideal for brewing setups, this ratchet pulley is also widely used in garages, workshops, and greenhouses. Use it to suspend lighting rigs, carbon filters, or other utility equipment. Its compact size and robust build make it a universal problem-solver in any space that demands height control and load security.

Compact, Lightweight & Easy to Store

Despite its strength, the pulley system is lightweight and easy to transport or store. It takes up very little space and can be looped or hung when not in use. For brewers working in tight spaces, this compact design means fewer tools on the floor and more room to move.

Secure Lifting When You Need It

With the Ratchet Pulley, you can lift and suspend equipment with confidence and precision. Its simple design, durable materials, and strong holding power make it one of the most useful tools in a brewer’s arsenal. Whether for daily brewing use or occasional setup support, it delivers solid performance with no compromise.
