Our range of cast iron pulleys is designed for heavy-duty lifting, hauling, and load-guiding applications where strength and durability are essential.
We supply cast iron pulleys in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit different rope or cable diameters and working loads. These pulleys are often found in machinery, workshops, construction environments, and fixed installations where robust performance is required over long service periods. Their solid construction makes them well suited to applications where lighter materials may not provide sufficient strength or longevity.
For alternative material options, you may also want to explore our steel pulleys for general industrial use or polyamide pulleys where weight reduction is a priority.

I'll be honest — I never thought I'd be writing a love letter to a karabiner, yet here we are.
I work in soft play installations, which means I spend an uncomfortable amount of time clipping myself to padded and wrapped steel frameworks at height, trying not to think too hard about what's keeping me up there. My old hooks had other ideas — turns out they had no interest in fitting around anything thicker than a pencil, leaving me doing a sort of elaborate lanyard origami every time I needed to get some work done. Not ideal when you're dangling above a sea of foam blocks and plastic slides.
Enter the Alloy Steel Double Action Tower Hook. 85mm gate opening — wide enough to actually be useful. 23kN rated strength — strong enough that I've stopped quietly making peace with my life every time I clip on. It fits around padded and wrapped steel with about 3mm to spare, which in the world of work at height feels practically luxurious.
It's robust, reliable, and does exactly what it says on the tin — or in this case, the carabiner. No drama, no improvisation, no wrapping lanyards around things and hoping for the best.
If you work at height and need something that will actually grip what you need it to grip, stop scrolling. Your lanyard deserves better, and frankly, so do you.
10/10 — would not fall without it.
A quality product. Easy to fit and use. Dave was a great help in answering all my pre-purchase questions for winch and pulley.
Amazing delivery time!
Just what I was looking for, big enough, managed to get it in the ground with the help of crowbar to twist it into the ground.
Did what it said on the box - very happy!!
Great service from the team. Order arrived super quick and product is spot on
Everything we have ordered so far has been excellent and arrived promptly.

Exactly what I needed. Good strong winch, arrived before due date, well packaged, alround excellent service.
Needing a replacement winch for a now discontinued one, I contacted Winchshop asking for a like for like. They identified a near identical winch and recommended it. Problem solved!
Product arrived in good order and as described in good order.
It could have been better packaged as it was just loose in a large box with little to no stuffing.
Top Winch, but more importantly, the two brothers provided a first class service, whilst I waited. Cheers, chaps!
I ordered a product online this morning, I was emailed not too long after to say that my order was ready. On collection I realised I had ordered the incorrect size. The two chaps in thew Bury office were great and helped me correct the issue.
They were both very friendly and helpful. Would recommend Bury to anyone.
Strong rope and didn’t let me down even with multiple uses and knots.
bought this to aid pulling several long and heavy cables through ducts, in comparison with the powered winches this was the cheaper option and would get to me in time, easy and quick to set up and simple to use and pulled the cables through with no issues what so ever. great addition to my ever going tool collection.
The build quality of the hand winch is very good; the only downside is that it takes a lot of turns to rise the washing line even if you’re just putting it up a little bit but overall, I am happy with my purchase.
