How To Use the REEVE

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 high-efficiency 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.

The design & manufacturing enables such a more refined & simpler rigging with Swivels attaching to the connectors and the option to tie-in directly.

Well done. It would be nice if you could show this with the Asap lock in place (as mentioned). Thank you for a great product.

I'm attentive to this excellent explanation. Greetings to you

Just spitballing an idea for the sloped highline specifically rigged with an English Reeve. If you have two ASAP's, one on each side of the reeve loop, could you drop down to a single control line and still have a redundancy? If the control line failed, the system would have a tendency to want to run downhill however the reeve loop would be running and would cause the uphill ASAP to engage, bringing the load to a stop... Thoughts?

Hi, can we use this gear with steel wire as main line ?

[@timtim4726]

In the last option why not block 2 reeves using upper holes?

[@geraldmagdaong1439]

On the two tracklines of the same height.. why not use fig8 follow-through on both control lines

[@baileyschaefer7478]

Can this be used with aircraft cable

[@orionriggers]

only with textile fiber ropes

Very weel done video.

Red line is single line, if fails there is no backup for rescuer and casualty

He addresses this, but everyone is super proud of you for pointing it out.

[@Reabies1]

Looks like it's too hardware intensive for a system that already uses a lot of hardware in it's traditional form.

[@PauloSEG]

Toooop

[@JamesTheForester]

There are so many potential failure points in that system. The user would have be trained to a very high level.

[@oxyehho]

Keanu is better in my opinion.

[@Easyzev]

bro relax lmao its still super good enough
