Pullejer

Pullejer is a term used in some mechanical and industrial contexts to denote either a person who designs, installs, and maintains pulley systems, or a modular device that consolidates multiple pulleys into a single unit for lifting or transmitting motion. The term is not standardized in English and appears mainly in regional or industry-specific jargon; in many contexts, more common terms are pulley technician, rigging technician, or simply pulley system.

A pullejer system typically includes pulleys (sheaves) mounted on axles, plus belts, ropes, or steel cables, with anchors and tensioning devices. By redirecting and multiplying force, pulley systems reduce the effort required to lift loads and enable changes in motion direction. Compound arrangements, such as block-and-tackle configurations, allow higher mechanical advantage, while compact modules serve portable or modular applications in factories, theatres, on ships, or construction sites.

Design considerations include bearing load, rope or cable strength, groove geometry, and lubrication. Safety depends on proper installation, regular inspection, and adherence to standards for lifting equipment. Pullejer professionals may specialize in rigging, crane operations, or industrial maintenance, with responsibilities spanning planning, installation, testing, and maintenance of systems.
