What are Cable Idlers Used For?

Cable idler pulleys are rounded, deep channel pulleys produced to accommodate standard cables, hoses or zip lines. Also known as rope idlers, standard cable idler pulleys are designed with strong, high-quality thermoplastic materials including polypropylene, glass-reinforced nylon, HDPE and more.

Retlaw Industries: Your Manufacturer for Composite Plastic Cable Pulleys Made in the USA

With over 300 original product designs, our plastic engineers understand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to resin-based products. We’ve found a consistent need for durable pulley system components and decided to apply our skills to fill the niche. Our cable idlers are just one of a host of plastic products we regularly manufacture to supply end-product designing companies with the OEM parts they require.
