Micro Cylinder 2.1

The MICRO-CYLINDRE 2.1 is a lightweight and compact friction device from FTC Tree for safe load lowering during tree felling and pruning. Made entirely of aluminum to prevent overheating and rope damage, with straight fairleads for easier handling of ropes up to 14 mm.

Description

The MICRO-CYLINDRE 2.1 is a lighter and more compact version compared to the MINI-CYLINDRE 2.1. It is perfect for arborists who need precision rigging in arboriculture. The upper ring allows for easy reeving (threading of rope). Two fairleads at the cylinder end prevent rope turns from slipping or overlapping, while a third fairlead below the cylinder provides finer and more precise control. The unit's symmetry allows for left or right placement for ground crew.

Supplied complete with a 9 m strap (for trees up to 2 m in diameter), tensioning device, and transport box for easy handling and storage.

Features

• Made entirely of aluminum – stays cool and protects the rope from burns.
• Straight fairleads in version 2.1 for easier use, especially with larger ropes (max 14 mm).
• Upper ring for easy reeving.
• Three fairleads: two at the end to prevent rope loss/overlap, one below for precision rigging.
• Symmetrical design for flexible placement by the ground crew.
• CE marked according to Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE.
• Includes strap with tensioning device and robust transport box.
