The drum itself is mandatory, without the drum there is no friction therefore no pulling. If you are simply looking for a way to capture progress (hold the load in place), we recommend the PCA-1271 or the PCA-1272. If you are pulling on a steep slope, or lifting, and do not want the load to go down then these self-blocking pulleys should to the job. See this video for more information.
Alternatively, you could look at the PCH1000 or PCH2000 winch models, which include a blue progress capture device that is integrated into the winch itself.
