FTC Mini Cylinder 2.1 Lowering Bollard

The MINI-CYLINDRE 2.1 is a friction device used in tree care to hold and lower loads during felling and branch or log removal.

Made entirely of aluminium, it won’t heat up and won’t burn your ropes. The round upper ring enables reeving, and two fairleads at the end of the cylinder prevents losing wraps and overlapping of the rope. A third fairlead under the cylinder enable a finer, more precise rigging.

6 rubber silent blocks protect the tree and ensure stability of the cylinder when loaded. The symmetry of the device allows left or right location of the ground crew.

The MINI-CYLINDRE 2.1 is delivered with its strap and its own box for easy transport and storage.
