Product information & specifications
DMM Hitch Climber Eccentric Pulley
The DMM Hitch Climber Eccentric Pulley is a next-generation evolution of the iconic Hitch Climber pulley, refined through years of real-world arborist feedback and DMM’s precision engineering. Designed to improve climbing efficiency, this pulley enhances friction hitch performance while maintaining the versatility that made the original a staple in tree climbing systems.
The standout feature is its advanced eccentric geometry, which includes integrated “pushing plates” that engage and advance your friction hitch earlier during ascent. This results in smoother tending and improved efficiency when climbing or repositioning.
Optimised rope fairlead flares guide the rope cleanly towards the sheave, making slack tending easier and more controlled. Combined with a large diameter sheave and efficient roller bearing, the pulley delivers smooth rope movement and reduced friction during use.
Constructed from hot forged and CNC machined aluminium with a stainless steel axle, the Hitch Climber Eccentric offers outstanding durability, strength and reliability for professional arborist climbing systems.
Key Features
- Advanced eccentric geometry for improved climbing efficiency
- Pushing plates advance friction hitches earlier and more smoothly
- Optimised rope fairlead flares for improved rope control
- Large sheave with high-efficiency roller bearing
- Hot forged and CNC machined aluminium side plates
- Stainless steel axle for strength and durability
- High strength construction for professional arborist use
- Ideal for friction hitch-based climbing systems
