FTC Sling-Line Throw Weight Catapult Head

FTC Sling-Line Throw Weight Catapult Head

The FTC Sling-Line Throw Weight Catapult Head is a specialised throwing head designed to improve efficiency, durability, and control when launching throwbags into the canopy. Developed as part of the Sling-Line system, this version incorporates design refinements that focus on smoother power transfer and extended component lifespan. It is intended for professional arborists who rely on accurate and repeatable throwline placement during tree access preparation.

Improved power transfer and component longevity

This Sling-Line head features integrated sheaves that allow the rubber tubes to run smoothly during use. As the throw is released, the sheaves rotate freely, helping transfer power efficiently to the throwbag while reducing friction and wear on the rubber tubes. This design not only improves throwing performance but also makes the tubes easier to replace, supporting longer service life of the system.

Ergonomic pouch for controlled throwbag handling

The ergonomic pouch is shaped to hold and centre both small and large throwbags securely. By keeping the throwbag aligned within the pouch, the system supports more controlled launches and consistent release behaviour. This centring effect helps improve accuracy while reducing unwanted movement during setup and firing.

Compatibility with pole systems and accessories

The Sling-Line Throw Weight Catapult Head can be mounted onto the Silky Hayauchi pole in the three-element version, allowing elevated throwing from the ground. It is also compatible with other pole-mounted accessories such as the Hook Fox, Sintun head, and pole saws, enabling the telescopic pole to be used across multiple tasks. The head is constructed with a passivated stainless steel body, aluminium sheaves, and natural rubber tubes derived from rubber tree material.
