Product information & specifications
Looking for a lightweight, high-performance friction device for arborist work?The FTC Micro Cylinder 2.1 might be your perfect match. This innovative device from FTC Tree is designed specifically for tree care professionals who need a safe and efficient way to control lowering operations during felling, branch removal, and log handling.
Here's what makes the Micro Cylinder 2.1 stand out:
-
Lightweight Champion: Weighing in at just 1.7kg or 4,9 kg with strap and transport box, the Micro Cylinder is one of the most compact and lightweight friction devices in its class. This translates to easier manoeuvring in the tree canopy and less fatigue during extended use.
-
Built to Last: Constructed entirely from aluminium, the Micro Cylinder is impressively strong and durable. Not only does aluminium resist corrosion, but it also avoids heat build-up, preventing friction wear on your ropes. Works with ropes up to 14mm diameter.
-
Superior Rope Control: Equipped with two fairleads at the cylinder's end, the Micro Cylinder which has a diameter of 75mm will ensures proper rope wrapping and prevents overlaps. Additionally, a third fairlead positioned underneath the cylinder allows for finer adjustments and precise control during lowering.
-
Safe and Efficient Lowering: With a rated Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 40kN, the Micro Cylinder can handle significant loads with ease. This ensures safe operation when lowering even heavy branches and logs.
-
Ready to Use: The Micro Cylinder arrives ready to integrate into your existing FTC lowering system. Simply unpack it and get started – no complex assembly required. Includes 9 m straps (25.5 ft) (for trees up to diameter 2 m - 6.6 ft)
The Micro Cylinder 2.1 is ideal for arborists who prioritize safety, efficiency, and portability in their lowering tasks. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, this friction device offers exceptional performance with a user-friendly design.
