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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThrowing Performance and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaterials and Line Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDurability, Use Considerations, and Strength\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.8 mm diameter designed for controlled handling and accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 metre length suitable for reaching difficult tree forks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigid construction to reduce knotting and coiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDyneema material for smooth gliding over bark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon core to increase stiffness and throwing distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight feel to reduce effort when throwing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear resistant design for repeated professional use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250 daN strength rating for dependable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FTC","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52665760219479,"sku":"FTC\/FDB_1850","price":43.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0785\/8263\/files\/FTC-Stiffline-1_8mm-Blue-Throwline-50m.jpg?v=1769666474","url":"https:\/\/treeworker.com\/products\/ftc-stiffline-1-8mm-throwline-50m","provider":"www.treeworker.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
