The C-Tecnics Diver Recovery Block and Tackle is designed for the safe recovery of a diver into a diving bell. It is a 6:1 advantage pulley system with a standard extended length of 6 metres, measured from the top of the bell, through the trunking, to the base of the stage. Alternative lengths are available on request.
If you have any questions let us know
The diver recovery pulley is a CE marked 6:1 block and tackle system designed for the safe recovery of divers into a diving bell. It provides a reliable mechanical advantage, allowing operators to recover a fully equipped diver with reduced effort during commercial diving and saturation diving operations.
Safe and Efficient Recovery
The standard system has an extended length of 6 metres, measured from the top of the diving bell through the trunking to the base of the stage. Alternative lengths are also available to suit different bell configurations and operational requirements.
The pulley system must attach to a certified lifting point with a minimum working load of 900 kg. A fully dressed diver typically weighs up to 170 kg, providing a 10:1 safety factor that meets the load testing requirements of diver recovery harnesses such as the C-Tecnics Jok II Harness.
Designed for Single-Operator Use
The top pulley includes an integrated cam cleat that allows the rope to be locked securely during recovery. As a result, a single operator can control the recovery process safely and efficiently.
The cam cleat angle adjusts through a ratcheted locking pin system. Therefore, operators can position it to suit their working location inside the diving bell.
The lower pulley features a stainless steel carabiner for secure attachment to the diver’s lifting or recovery point. In addition, the rugged construction withstands continuous use in demanding offshore and saturation diving environments.
Commercial diving companies use the diver recovery pulley for saturation diving, bell diving, offshore construction and emergency diver recovery procedures. Its robust design, dependable operation and CE-marked construction make it a trusted safety component for professional diving systems.
Whether supporting routine bell diving operations or emergency recovery procedures, the diver recovery pulley delivers reliable lifting performance, smooth operation and long-term durability. It helps improve diver safety while reducing the physical effort required during recovery.
