Why Choose a Restech Line Thrower?

More than 7000 line throwers have been delivered by the Norwegian company due to many advantages of this solution:

In terms of safety – The gunpowder-based solutions have become more expensive, which makes PLT line throwers competitive on price
Environmentally – cartridges and projectiles are recycled – with gunpowder-based systems, they can only be used once. Most ships have a compressor filling the air cartridges, allowing the PLT launcher to be ready for use again quickly.
Logistically – there are problems with the gunpowder-based line throwers when sent by plane. A PLT line thrower can be sent by plane anywhere in the world.
Expiration date – other systems have an expiration date of three years, with the Restech solution lasting as long as the ship
Precision – if you shoot with a PLT line thrower, the direction will be more precise than when shooting with a gunpowder-based line thrower. Once you have sent a PLT off, the cartridge itself will stop at the point where it hits. Unlike gunpowder-based systems, where the cartridges whiz around on the ship.
