Hitch climber

[Brad_28]

Maybe bit of a silly question, but does anyone know where you can get other colour hitch climber pulleys? Iv seen many different colour combo's but can't find anywhere that sells them? The standard ones I know of are silver with orange, red with yellow. I know sherilltree do a gold one. But are there any others that are sold? Iv seen an orange and black one and a green and black one but finding somewhere to buy them is abit harder. Thanks people.

I think DMM will anodise them different colours for you but i expect it'll cost quite a bit more

I don't know, Brad.

Mine is just black, I didn't really consider the colour.

From what I gather fron DMM, the difference in colour represents different models. Ones with bushes, ones with bearings, ones rigging etc etc.

 

Might be wrong though.

Lol nah it's just that it would be easier to know which is which in a van where a few people have kits and access too them, you can keep this apart as best you can but there will be a time where things cud get confused. also would be good to tell the difference if you were to use one as part of a rigging system, wudnt want to climb on one that may have been shock loaded.

wudnt want to climb on one that may have been shock loaded.

 

Wouldn't want to shock-load one that had been shock-loaded!

I didn't know they were designed for that.

I dnt think they are but they can be used in rigging apparently, so to be on the safe side if you had one that was different colour to the others that u used as a rigging pulley, then you would be sure not to use that as part of your climbing system.

It might just be a case of 'getting out the different insulating tapes'.

Ye maybe, where'd you get yours? An all black one is different.
