NRS SMC 2″ Swiftwater Pulley

The NRS SMC 2″ Swiftwater Pulley is a purpose-built rescue pulley designed specifically to meet the demands of swiftwater rescue professionals and technical rope systems.

Combining lightweight construction, efficient operation, and water-specific design features, this NFPA-rated midsized pulley delivers dependable performance when reliability matters most.

Designed to bridge the gap between compact rescue pulleys and larger hauling systems, the SMC Swiftwater Pulley offers an ideal balance of size, strength, and versatility. Constructed from high-quality aluminum, it weighs only 6 ounces while featuring a durable 2-inch sheave that provides smooth, efficient rope movement.

The precision-tensioned side plates allow for easy one-handed operation and secure placement anywhere along the rope, making the pulley quick and practical to deploy during rescue scenarios. Its wide base and side plate design provide effective Prusik-minding capability with cords up to 8mm, making it suitable for mechanical advantage systems used in swiftwater rescue.

Engineered specifically for aquatic environments, the anodized side plates feature drainage holes that help reduce the hydroplaning effect common with standard pulleys. A top attachment hole accommodates multiple rescue carabiners and allows them to rotate freely, even while closed, improving versatility and ease of use in complex rigging situations.

Sealed ball bearings provide smooth, efficient operation, while the durable American-made construction ensures dependable performance for rescue teams, guides, and professional river users.
