FTC Stiffline 1.8mm Blue Throwline - 50m

FTC Stiffline 1.8mm Blue Throwline - 50m

The FTC Stiffline 1.8mm Blue Throwline - 50m is designed for arborists who need a rigid, smooth running line for accurate throwline placement in challenging tree structures. Developed to work in combination with a throw bag, this line supports efficient access to difficult forks while maintaining consistent handling during both throwing and retrieval. Its construction prioritises glide, stiffness, and resistance to wear for dependable professional use.

Throwing Performance and Handling

With a diameter of 1.8 mm and a supplied length of 50 metres, this throwline is designed to be easier to handle while still supporting effective reach. The line is rigid and resistant to knotting, helping maintain predictable behaviour during repeated throws. This stiffness reduces coiling compared to softer lines, allowing the line to travel further and with greater accuracy when setting access lines.

Materials and Line Construction

The FTC Stiffline uses a Dyneema construction combined with a nylon core. Dyneema offers a very high gliding coefficient among textile fibres, supporting smooth movement over bark and helping with rope positioning and adjustment. The nylon core adds stiffness to the line, contributing to improved throwing performance while maintaining a lightweight feel during use.

Durability, Use Considerations, and Strength

Designed as a solid and wear resistant line, the FTC Stiffline is intended for repeated professional use. Due to its strength, it is recommended to undo the throw bag after each unsuccessful throw, as the line is difficult to break without a designated breaking fuse point. This 1.8 mm version is described as easier to handle and more suitable for first time users. The line has a stated strength of 250 daN, supporting reliable performance in arborist access tasks.
