SMC Kootenay HX Knot Passing Pulley

The new SMC Kootenay HX from SMC is the most advanced Knot Passing Pulley on the market.

This is an entirely new and more compact design and lives up to its “HX” - High Performance name as the lightest KPP on the market which is UL Certified to NFPA General Use. Durable, strong and efficient...

This is a versatile piece of equipment which will soon make its way into gear caches across the country. Aluminum side plates are used in conjunction with a high-strength aluminum sheave. Sealed ball bearings provide optimal efficiency and help to reduce the performance-robbing resistance that is inherent in most multiple component systems.

The primary carabiner hole accepts numerous rescue carabiners. Secondary carabiner holes are provided for use with tag or belay lines. Two quick-release pins may be used in order “lock off” the sheave when a high strength tie-off is required. Adding to its versatility, the Kootenay HX may also serve as an edge roller for rope protection.
