FTC Meteor 2 Throw Bag Weights

FTC Meteor 2 Throw Bag Weights

The FTC Meteor 2 Throw Bag Weights are designed for arborists who require high precision, durability, and consistent performance when setting throwlines. Featuring a metallic core with a bi-density polymer shell, these throw bags are built to deliver powerful, accurate throws while offering a significantly longer lifespan than traditional fabric designs. Their streamlined construction supports efficient handling in demanding tree work environments.

Throwing Performance and Aerodynamic Design

The drop shaped profile of the Meteor 2 provides excellent precision and dynamism, allowing the bag to travel quickly and accurately through the canopy. Its aerodynamic design prevents vibration in flight, helping maintain a true trajectory even in windy conditions. This efficiency also helps reduce effort, allowing greater heights to be reached with less energy.

Construction, Materials, and Safety Design

The core is made from steel, encased within a bi-density polyurethane shell that delivers high resistance and durability. The Meteor 2 contains no lead, preventing environmental contamination caused by damaged bags. High visibility colours with a distinctive checkered effect make the bag easy to spot during use, supporting clear visual tracking throughout the throw.

Ring Design, Handling, and Weight Options

Each bag is fitted with a stainless steel ring featuring an oblong profile that helps secure the line and prevents slipping. The ring is positioned slightly below the tip, lowering the rotation axis so the bag tips naturally when the line is pulled, helping it release easily from tight crotches. The Meteor 2 measures 8.3 cm in height and 4.6 cm in diameter. The ring has a stated breaking strength of 250 kg.
