Heavy Lifting Made Easy – By Yourself, Without Electricity
The Favorite-Trade Rope and Pulley System is a portable manual lifting solution that gives one person the power to raise, lower, and hold heavy loads — no crew, no power outlet, no experience required. With a total system breaking strength of 6,000 lbs and a 7:1 mechanical advantage, this hoist rope pulley system delivers professional lifting performance at a fraction of the cost.
How the Numbers Work
This block and tackle pulley system uses 8 pulleys and 8 rope lines working together. Each single rope line has a 3,560 lb breaking strength and a 2,000 lb safe working capacity. The combined force across all lines gives the system its 6,000–8,000 lb total breaking strength — a 3–4× safety margin over your working load on every lift. A 140 lb pull lifts nearly 1,000 lbs. That’s enough to hoist a deer for field dressing, raise a kayak to your garage ceiling, lift building supplies to a second-story deck, or pull a small engine out of a vehicle.
Why Rope Quality Matters
The rope is the part you touch, pull, and trust with every lift. Budget pulley kits often include thin polypropylene rope that stretches under load, slips through your grip, and wastes your pulling effort before the load even moves. Our 10 mm reinforced nylon rope is thicker, stronger, and easier to grip — even with work gloves. It resists fraying and moisture, performs reliably in wet and humid conditions, and feeds through the rope pulleys smoothly after a single break-in pass. When you’re lifting 500 lbs above your head, the rope is everything.
Who It’s Built For
This pulley lift system is trusted by hunters, boat owners, homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, small contractors, farmers, and anyone who needs to move heavy objects without heavy machinery. It’s especially valued by older adults and people with limited mobility — the lifting pulley reduces the effort on your body by letting the mechanical advantage do the heavy work.
What Makes It Different
Unlike electric hoists, this rope pulley system works anywhere — no wiring, no battery, no noise. Unlike chain hoists, it’s lightweight and portable enough to carry in a truck or hang from a tree branch at a remote hunting camp. And unlike cheaper pulley blocks, it includes two heavy-duty lifting straps in the box and delivers 6,000 lbs of breaking strength — so you’re ready to work immediately with a serious margin of safety.
The rust resistant zinc-plated steel housing and nylon rollers ensure long-lasting performance. The forged sling hooks feature spring-loaded safety latches and 360° rotation for precise load positioning. The high strength tensile nylon rope resists fraying and moisture – and at 65 feet, it reaches garage ceilings, attic hatches, barn lofts, and tall tree branches with room to spare.
How to Set Up
Secure the upper hook to a sturdy overhead anchor (beam, rafter, branch) rated for your load weight.
Attach the lower hook or strap to the object you’re lifting.
Pull the rope hand-over-hand at your own pace. The pulley hoist does the rest.
For first use, run the rope through the pulleys once without load to break it in and prevent twisting. Apply plastic-safe grease to rollers for smoother operation over time.
Safety First
This rope and pulley system is designed exclusively for vertical lifting. Do not use horizontally – the rope may slip off the pulleys. Always inspect rope and hooks before each use. Never exceed the safe working load of 2,000 lbs per rope line. Never stand under a suspended load. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent corrosion.
What’s in the Box
Upper pulley block (4 wheels) with forged hook, lower pulley block (4 wheels) with forged hook, 65 ft nylon rope (10 mm / 0.39 in diameter, pre-threaded), 2 lifting straps (8 ft × 1 in, 1,333 lb capacity each).

Heavy Duty and Well Constructed!
In my review of the Poly Rope Hoist Pulley Block, I was thoroughly impressed by its strong design and robust performance capabilities. This hoisting system boasts an impressive lifting power of 6000-8000 lbs, making it suitable for a variety of applications—from moving heavy furniture to securing motorcycles and bicycles.
The 65-foot length of high-strength nylon rope, with a diameter of 3/8 inches, is engineered not to fray under pressure; this ensures that you can lift items confidently without worrying about the integrity of the rope. What truly stands out is its user-friendly hook design that allows for easy adjustments during operation while maintaining smooth functionality thanks to its zinc-plated steel housing and rollers that resist rusting over time.
With an exceptional working capacity on one rope at 2000 lbs and even greater strength when utilizing multiple pulleys, this heavy-duty hoist dramatically improves lifting comfort and convenience—effortlessly taking on tasks that would otherwise require considerable manual effort or additional help.

Works okay, rope needs improvement.
It’s a decent set of pulleys. The rope and lifting straps are nice and everything feels well made. Not sure about the performance of the upper range but I used it to lift 200 lbs. My issues were that the pulley block would twist or the rope would pop out of the pulleys. A different rope might perform better. The pulley block came with a twisted nylon rope and a braided rope might be better. It could also be that the rope just needs some use to help make it more flexible and less twisty.

Works well enough for the price.
This a simple pulley set. The way that it comes configured is as a 7:1 ratio. I tested it with about 100lb of load and was able to lift it up with about 18.5 or so on the pull rope, This ends up being about 5.4:1 ratio due to the inefficiency of the basic pulleys in this set. They are just plain wheels running on the axles with no bearings. With 65ft of rope, you can extend the block about 8ft or so from the tackle and still have something to pull with.
The included lifting straps are nice, but don’t fit the very small hooks in the pulleys, you need a shackle or carabiner. I tested it with a 1/2″ shackle and that seems to be about as large as what would fit in the hook.
The included rope is soft and seems strong enough for the job. It does tend to twist. I would be comfortable pulling anything less than 1000lb with it. Any more than this and it would be very difficult to do by hand due to the inefficient pulleys.
Its a good value for the price, since it includes a pair of straps as well.

Nicely constructed
This block and tackle set is made of steel plates with poly pulleys. There are two heavy duty hooks with safety latches so your load will stay hooked. They load the set with 65 feet of 3/8” rope and the set can lift up to 4000 pounds. Included with the block and tackle is two 1” straps for rigging and hanging the set.

Stout
I’m not sure I would try to lift 4 tons with it based on the pulleys and the straps it came with, but it is really stout. I’d use that as more of a maximum strength and not a safe working load. The cord is not a cheap cord like some use, but a decent quality. The pulleys run smoothly.

Heavy lifting made easy
I needed to replace the rear axle/transmission on my lawn tractor and jack stands got in the way. This block and tackle set made it easy to lift and secure the back end of the tractor so I could remove the axle.
It was way too heavy for one person to lift by hand, but after securing one side of the block and tackle to a rafter and the other to the rear of the tractor I could easily lift the tractor off its axle, the tie off the rope to secure it. Lowering it back on was just as easy.
The kit comes with the block and tackle pulleys, a long nylon rope to use for lifting, and two straps for securing the ends of the pulleys… everything you need to make it work.
For heavier jobs where more reliability is needed I’ll probably replace the rope with a quality climbing rope, but the kit is adequate for most work just as it comes.

This pays tribute to the wonders of mechanical advantage systems. Get one!
I used this to pull a wood framed wall back into level. Couldn’t have done it with out this. Mechanical advantage is an amazing thing. People say that aliens built the pyramids… I say they were build using lots of pulley systems. You can lift a car with this if needed. Couple it with a gear driven ratchet and you don’t need to use much brute strength at all. Work smarter, not harder.

Good pulley hoist system for the money, just not built very heavy duty.
This kit isn’t bad, but long term use probably might post an issue. The steel of the area that holds all the pulleys in seems really thin, the rope is ok “new” but once used some, its going to become an issue of overall strength so may need to upgrade to some better rope long term.

Not bad would work much better if they had bearings or bushings
The block and tackle pulley system is not too bad however as the bearings are not present in the pulleys the system does tend to want to filter itself sideways while pulling on the rope I personally would highly recommend if you’re going to buy this product to disassemble the assembly and put some type of plastic safe Grease on the inners of the pulley and the shaft to help mitigate that problem

Easy to use. Strong. Holding up well.
If you’ve never used a block and tackle before you may want to watch a video. After you know how it is supposed to work it really works very well and simply. My use was to hoist my Thule roof box up off the floor and against the wall of the garage. I had to get one large screw-in ring to attach to the joist in the garage, but then I just clipped on the one end, looped the straps under the box and pulled. I also used a rope attacher-thing on the wall like on a flag pole to loop the rope on. Easy to use. Very strong. Small enough to do the job, and big enough to tackle the issue. I thought it was a bit pricey when ordering, but it’s pretty reasonable for the quality. I can recommend.
