The Factor 55 Rope Retention Pulley Ring is the world’s first winch friction pulley featuring a patented rope retention system. Unlike heavy steel snatch blocks, this lightweight billet aluminum ring offers a safer and more efficient solution for modern synthetic rope recoveries.
Because it reduces weight while increasing control, it has become a preferred choice for serious off-road enthusiasts.
Innovative Rope Retention Technology
What makes the Factor 55 Rope Retention Pulley Ring unique is its patented rubber rope retention fingers.
During momentary slack in the winch line, these rubber fingers prevent the synthetic rope from jumping out of the pulley groove. As a result, they help reduce the risk of premature rope damage and failure.
Additionally, the oversized shackle hole radius creates a smooth surface. This design prevents the soft shackle legs from rubbing against sharp edges, which improves overall safety and durability.
Lightweight Alternative to Snatch Blocks
Traditional snatch blocks can be bulky and heavy. However, the Factor 55 Rope Retention Pulley Ring delivers the same recovery advantages in a much lighter package.
You can use it to:
-
Increase pulling power with a double line pull
-
Redirect your winch line safely
-
Reduce overall system weight
-
Improve synthetic rope longevity
Because it works through friction rather than a moving pulley, it remains simple, strong, and reliable.
Built for Synthetic Rope Systems
This is designed exclusively for synthetic winch rope and must be used with a soft shackle.
Key specifications:
-
Compatible rope size: 5/16” to 1/2” (8–12mm)
-
Working Load Limit (WLL): 22,000 lbs (97.9 kN)
-
Billet machined 6000 series aluminum
-
Mil-A-8625F Hard Anodized surface
-
TEFLON-treated friction surface for improved slickness and heat dissipation
-
Weight: 21 oz (595 g)
-
Made in the USA
The TEFLON treatment helps reduce friction heat while maintaining smooth rope movement during heavy pulls.
Why Choose the Factor 55 Rope Retention Pulley Ring?
If you run synthetic rope and want a safer, lighter alternative to traditional snatch blocks, the Factor 55 Rope Retention Pulley Ring is a premium solution.
It combines strength, innovation, and advanced rope protection technology into one compact recovery tool.
