What Is a Hauling System? • Combination of ropes and hardware assembled to form a mechanical advantage used to move a load from one point to another. • Named for the amount of advantage it offers • 3:1, 4:1, 9:1
Definitions • Directional pulley: stationary pulley used to change the direction of pull on a rope • Haul cam: camming device that secures the haul line to the load line • Soft or hard • Haul line: rope used to pull on • Load line: obvious…
Definitions • Mechanical advantage pulley: moving pulley that is attached to the load or haul cam that adds MA • Piggyback system: Common name given to a 4:1 MA (it is two 2:1 MA systems piggy backed to each other) • Ratchet cam: Holds the load line to keep from losing what you have gained with MA
Elements of Hauling System • Cams • Soft and hard • Pulleys • Single, double and knot passing (Kootney) • Haul line • Load line
5:1 • Simple: • Use two double pulleys
Hauling System Positions • Haul team: runs haul line • Ratchet tender: tends ratchet cam • Team leader: gives commands • Safety tender: operates Munter hitch • Load watch: Communicates position of load to team leader
Commands • Haul • Haul slow • Set • Slack • Stop!
