3. Installation of Speed Pulley (Wall Mounts)
Wall mounting pulleys require the following knowledge:
1. Make sure your mounting wall reaches the ceiling. A wall ending at the false ceiling does not offer
enough support to secure a pulley.
2. Identify the type of studs you have in your wall. Do you have wood studs or metal studs? Or, is your wall
made of concrete. Different types of studs require different hardware in order to attach your pulley
equipment safely.
RehabPro wall pulley attachment brackets:
RehabPro speed pulleys have two (2) attachment brackets; the center hole of the lower attachment bracket
is 3.5” above the floor; the center hole of the upper attachment bracket is 80.5” above the floor. Each
attachment bracket is 18” wide with two (2) holes for mounting hardware, 16.25” apart center to center.
Below, you will find three attachment suggestions based on the type of wall you plan on attaching
your pulley to:
1. Drywall attached to wood studs
. Attach two 1x4 boards horizontally in space, long enough to span two
studs (4 studs for parallel pulleys), 2.5” lag bolts that go through the board, drywall and into the studs (see
picture below). The center of the lower board must be 3.5” off the floor. The center of the upper board must
be 80.5” off the floor. The pulley(s) can be anchored wherever along these boards using 1.5” lag bolts with
a 5/16” flat washer.
2. Drywall attached to aluminum studs.
Attach two 1x4 boards horizontally in space, long enough to
span two studs (4 studs for parallel pulleys). Use 2.5” anchor bolts (see picture below) to sandwich the
boards against the wall. Like attachment option # 1 the center of the lower board has to be 3.5” above the
floor. The center of the upper board has to be 80.5” above the floor. The pulley(s) can be attached to these
boards by 1.5” lag bolts with a 5/16” flat washer.
