DMM Pinto Rig 2 Pulley The DMM Pinto Rig 2 Pulley is the updated, high-efficiency evolution of the much-loved Pinto design. Retaining the compact form and versatility of the original, the Rig 2 features sealed ball bearings for smoother running, improved efficiency and reduced maintenance — making it even better suited for advanced climbing and rigging applications, certified to EN 12278:2007 and NFPA 1983 G. Available in Grey and Purple, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised DMM dealer, with free UK delivery on this order. Engineered for modern arborist systems, the Pinto Rig 2 steps up with a larger 38mm sheave capable of accommodating ropes up to 16mm. The recessed sheave design creates a completely smooth rope channel, ensuring your rope or tag line always tracks correctly, even when fed in from awkward or off-angle positions. Featuring textile-friendly fairleads, a full-strength becket and optimised attachment points, the Pinto Rig 2 integrates seamlessly into complex rigging systems. It is hot-forged for durability, tamperproof for safety and built in Wales to the highest manufacturing standards.
