Petzl Minder S1 Prusik pulley for rescue

The Minder S1 by Petzl is a lightweight, high-performance Prusik pulley designed to handle heavy loads with maximum efficiency in rescue systems and complex hoists. This compact device stands out for its specifically designed movable sheaves, specially crafted to work in perfect harmony with self-locking knots: the unique shaping of the sheaves is indeed designed to manage the Prusik knot smoothly, preventing it from blocking the pulley’s movement and thus ensuring a constant and smooth rope retrieval. Thanks to the aluminum pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings, the Minder S1 guarantees an exceptional efficiency of 91%, drastically reducing friction and fatigue during lifting operations. Weighing only 71 grams and featuring an extremely compact flat shape, it is easy to carry and integrate into any mountain technical kit. Durability is ensured by the aluminum and stainless steel construction, allowing for a breaking load of 23 kN and a maximum working load of 5 kN. Wall maneuvers are facilitated by generous connection holes, capable of accommodating up to two carabiners simultaneously to create versatile and secure configurations. Compatible with ropes with a diameter between 6 and 11 mm, this pulley meets CE EN 12278, UIAA, and NFPA Technical Use certifications, confirming it as an essential professional tool for technical mountaineering and the most demanding recovery operations. The reliability of the materials and the mechanical precision of the 25 mm pulley make the Minder S1 a safe investment for those who require fluidity in every outdoor situation.
