Petzl ROLLCLIP Pulley Carabiner

The Petzl ROLLCLIP pulley carabiner puts a pulley wheel inside a locking carabiner, so rope runs smoothly over a sheave. It is a compact way to tend a friction hitch, set a redirect or build a haul system without carrying a separate pulley.

How climbers use the ROLLCLIP

On a hitch climbing system, the ROLLCLIP sits below the hitch and lets you pull slack through smoothly with one hand. It also works as a redirect on a stationary rope, or as the moving pulley in a simple 3:1 for tensioning a line or hauling gear.

The ROLLCLIP is also handy in aerial rescue kits, where a quick redirect or haul can make a difference. Practice with it during training so you can set it up without thinking when you need it.

Because the pulley and carabiner are one piece, there is less to clip and nothing to drop. See our other auto-locking carabiners for standard connectors.

Inspection and care

Check that the wheel turns freely, the gate closes and locks, and there are no cracks or sharp edges. Rinse out grit and sap after dirty jobs.

Treat it as life-support gear: follow the manufacturer's instructions, check it before every climb, and retire it after a hard fall, a drop onto a hard surface, or any damage you can't explain. Use it within an ANSI Z133 program and only after proper training.

Retire it if the wheel wobbles, grinds or will not spin, or if the side plates show cracks or deep wear. A worn pulley can damage your climbing rope as well as the hitch cord.
