1. Hauling Systems

2. What Is a Hauling System?
Combination of ropes and hardware assembled to form a mechanical advantage used to move a load from one point to another.
Named for the amount of advantage it offers
3:1, 4:1, 9:1

3. Definitions
Directional pulley: stationary pulley used to change the direction of pull on a rope
Haul cam: camming device that secures the haul line to the load line
Soft or hard
Haul line: rope used to pull on
Load line: obvious…

4. Definitions
Mechanical advantage pulley: moving pulley that is attached to the load or haul cam that adds MA
Piggyback system: Common name given to a 4:1 MA (it is two 2:1 MA systems piggy backed to each other)
Ratchet cam: Holds the load line to keep from losing what you have gained with MA
