Product information & specifications
FTC Mini-Cylindre HR 2.1 Rigging Device
The FTC Mini-Cylindre HR 2.1 is a highly efficient, easy-to-install friction device designed for controlled rigging in professional tree care. Constructed entirely from aluminium, it manages friction smoothly without excessive heat build-up, helping protect your rigging ropes from glazing or burning during lowering operations.
Designed for precision and stability, the Mini-Cylindre offers a reliable solution for lowering medium-sized branches and timber sections. Its symmetrical design allows the ground crew to work comfortably from either side of the stem, while multiple fairleads ensure clean, consistent rope management for safe and predictable control.
The device features six rubber silent blocks to stabilise the system and protect the tree during load. Delivered complete with a long 9 m strap and its own transport box, the Mini-Cylindre HR 2.1 is ready to deploy straight out of the packaging for quick, efficient rigging setup.
Key Features
- All-aluminium construction prevents excessive heat build-up on rigging ropes
- Round upper ring for smooth reeving of the rigging line
- Two fairleads to organise wraps and prevent overlapping
- Additional fairlead beneath the cylinder for fine-tuned, precise rigging
- Six rubber silent blocks provide stability and tree protection under load
- Symmetrical design allows ground crew to operate from either side
- Delivered with strap and protective transport box for quick deployment
- Suitable for medium-size rigging operations in arboriculture
