SOLAS Pneumatic Line Throwing Apparatus – 250m Range, Explosive-Free
Pneumatic Line Throwing Apparatus – SOLAS-Compliant, Explosive-Free Line Deployment System
High-Pressure Air Launcher for Ship-to-Ship, Ship-to-Shore & Rescue Operations – No Expiry Date
Ensure safe and reliable line transfer without explosives using our Pneumatic Line Throwing Apparatus (PLT®) , engineered for maritime rescue, mooring, and emergency operations. This reusable system uses compressed air (200–300 bar) to launch projectiles accurately up to 250 meters—without the hazards of pyrotechnics.
Key Features:
✔ Explosive-Free Safety:
-
Runs on compressed air (200–300 bar) – Zero explosion/fire risk; safe for tankers and hazardous zones
-
Unlimited shelf life – No expiration date; ready when you need it
-
Non-DG shipment – Can be airfreighted anywhere without dangerous goods permits
✔ SOLAS-Compliant Performance:
-
Range: 230–250 meters (dry, clean line)
-
Line breaking strength: ≥2,000 N (2 kN)
-
Reusable – Launch up to 6 shots on a single cylinder charge
✔ Marine-Grade Durability:
-
Corrosion-resistant materials – Built for saltwater environments
-
Weather-resistant projectiles – Aerodynamic design minimizes wind drift
-
Floating line – High-visibility yellow or orange line stays on water surface
✔ Versatile Applications:
-
SOLAS emergency line throwing (ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore)
-
STS (ship-to-ship) transfer and bunkering operations
-
Man overboard (MOB) rescue
-
Mooring and towing operations
Why Choose Pneumatic Over Pyrotechnic?
| Feature | Pneumatic (PLT®) | Pyrotechnic Rocket |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | Compressed air – no explosion risk | Explosive propellant – fire hazard |
| Expiry | No expiry date – lasts vessel lifetime | Must be replaced every 3 years |
| Training | Reusable – practice as often as needed | Single-use – costly to train |
| Storage | Non-DG – any dry locker | Special explosive storage required |
| Disposal | None required | Expensive hazardous waste disposal |
| Accuracy | Less wind effect – repeatable shots | Wind pushes rocket off course |
