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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eImproved power transfer and component longevity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eErgonomic pouch for controlled throwbag handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility with pole systems and accessories\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrow weight catapult head designed for the FTC Sling-Line system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated rotating sheaves for efficient power transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign allows easy replacement and extended life of rubber tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic pouch centres both small and large throwbags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Silky Hayauchi three-element pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with other pole-mounted tools and accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassivated stainless steel body for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium sheaves for smooth operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural rubber tubes made from rubber tree material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FTC","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52665764348247,"sku":"FTC\/SL3-FEP","price":156.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0785\/8263\/files\/FTC-Sling-Line-Throw-Weight-Catapult-Head.jpg?v=1769666534","url":"https:\/\/treeworker.com\/products\/ftc-sling-line-throw-weight-catapult-head","provider":"www.treeworker.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
