Warning: Do not use this product if you cannot understand and follow the instructions and warnings that
come with it and complete all necessary functions.
Thank you for purchasing this Buckingham Mfg. product. The BuckRigger combines a pulley with a swivel and offers
tremendous advantages. It can replace a conventional pulley, carabiner & swivel and is lighter, less expensive and saves
valuable vertical space. It also allows installing/removing the rope while the pulley is still anchored, which prevents dropping it
& is often easier when rigging mechanical advantage systems. It does require that the user understand how it works and
takes responsibility for making sure the side plates are closed & locked.
Strength: In a single pulley, half the load is on one side of the rope and half is on the other. The total load on the pulley is
thus 2x the mass that is being raised or lowered. In a double pulley the total load is 4x the load on the 4 individual ropes. This
is illustrated on the pulley. Breaking Strength & Working Load are based on this equal loading. If the sideplate is not fully
locked by the button, the strength will be severely reduced, to about 2250 lbf. (10kN), but also, the rope may
fall out. Pulleys must be free to align with the load, any restraint is dangerous.
Working Load Limit: Is based on about a 4 : 1 safety factor. You must decide if that is sufficient in your situation or if
you need to adjust the WLL.

Views shown are of the single & front side of the double. The back side of the double is
reversed from these views.
The side plate must be closed and locked with the button fully extended, or strength will be greatly
reduced, and the rope may fall out with catastrophic results. You must understand how the side plate
& locking button work & must faithfully do the following every time you use it:
1. Visually confirm the side plate is fully closed and the locking button is fully extended.
2. Test the side plate by attempting to rotate it to confirm by touch that it is locked.
Do not allow anything to contact the button in use. Regularly check that the side plate is locked, and
the pulley is positioned properly. If the pulley cannot be kept in sight, use a conventional pulley.
