Rescue Systems Omega 2 Liquid Pulley
Purpose-built for swiftwater rescue
The Rescue Systems Omega 2 Liquid Pulley is a lightweight, high-strength pulley designed specifically for swiftwater rescue and water-based rope systems.
Its aircraft-grade aluminium construction, sealed ball bearings and water-flow-through side plates help maintain smooth operation in moving water while reducing the hydroplaning effect that can affect conventional pulley designs.
The wide base is designed to effectively capture and manage Prusik hitches, while the slim overall profile helps reduce the risk of snagging in moving rope systems. The oversized attachment point provides ample room for multiple rescue carabiners and allows locking mechanisms to pass through easily.
With a 34 kN pulley strength and compatibility with ropes up to 13 mm, the Omega 2 is well suited to professional swiftwater, flood rescue and technical rope rescue applications.

Built for moving water
Conventional pulleys can be affected by water flow when operating in rapids and strong currents. The Omega 2 incorporates flow-through lightening holes in its side plates to help minimise this effect, while sealed ball bearings provide smooth pulley operation.
The result is a compact pulley designed specifically for the demanding conditions encountered by professional swiftwater and flood rescue teams.
