Ural-Alp Double-Hauler 34.06

Closed for Use

Open for Rigging

I acquired my Double Hauler 34.06 from Ural Sport in 2004. The Ural-Alp Double-Hauler 34.06 is 104 mm tall, 70 mm wide, and 40 mm thick. Mine weighs 173 g.

The Ural-Alp Double-Hauler is another Russian pulley made primarily from titanium, and primarily a double-rope version of the Ural-Alp Hauler. The side plates are engine turned to give a beautiful finish. They pivot on the pulley axle, which is a special bolt. The nut is center-punched to keep it from releasing. There are two pulleys on the Double Hauler which appear to be nickel-plated aluminum. Both the pulleys and cam ride on nylon bushings.

There is only one cam, which engages the rope running over the rear pulley. The cam is spring-loaded and machined from titanium. A spring-loaded pin can be depressed to hold the cam in the open position. The cam teeth are sharp cut pyramids that are not exactly rope-friendly. I find that the teeth drag if one tries to use the pulley with the cam locked open, to the point that they snag the rope. The cam axle is long enough to provide a stop for the swinging front plate.

The Ural-Alp is marked "RUSSIA" and "URAL-ALP" on the front, and "KOZLOV DESIGNS" on the back.

Serguei Khramtsov (of Ural Sport) wrote me to say:

The Double Hauler's (34.06) instruction and my ebay description have a mistake. The real working range of the device (as for Ural-Alp's - USHBA's Hauler 34.05) is 9,5-10,5mm.

The Ural-Alp should never be used to be used to support human loads.
