Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
With this pully lift system, I can easily hoist a deer, even a heavy one, all alone, safely. The pulley system gives a 75% let-off in weight, so hoisting a 200 pound animal, feels like pulling 50 pounds. The metal bars fits into the hind legs of the animal being processed. Hoisting the animal is easy, as the handle the rope threads through will lock into place when depressed (turned downward). Thus, one can sequentially lift the animal several feet at a time until the desired height is achieved. The instructions claim the unit will support game up to 500 pounds.
There is only one drawback as far as I am concerned, and that is the poly-rope. The poly-rope is needed for strength, but it tends to be quite slippery, and because it is a small diameter rope, it tends to pinch my hands as I hoist the game up. To solve this, I use leather gloves to get a good grip on the rope, and the leather gloves also protect my hands from getting pinched by the rope.
One reviewer commented that he had difficulty releasing the rope and lowering the animal back down. I have not had an difficulty in this regard. When the handle is pushed upward, the rope will release and the animal will lower. Sometimes it takes a tug to release the rope, but I have never had it bind.
