In most cases, these pulleys cannot be used for lifting a full-body weight by a single person. However, they work way faster than the higher-ratio pulleys. | In most cases, these pulleys cannot be used for lifting a full-body weight by a single person. However, they work way faster than the higher-ratio pulleys. Therefore, they are mainly used when the lifted person helps with the pulling and for hauling. | ||

These pulleys distribute the force in a way that lifting a person is possible without assistance. However due to the ratio the speed of lifting is very low and there is substantial friction from the amount of bends in the pulley system. | These pulleys distribute the force in a way that lifting a person is possible without assistance.
