Pneumatic line thrower information


Pneumatic line throwers can be used for a variety of applications including underway replenishment (UNREPS), replenishment at sea (RASing), ship to ship line deployment, ship to shore line deployment, water rescue, high angle rescue, cable running in industrial applications, and tactical line deployment. Line throwers come in two categories: pyrotechnic and pneumatic.

Pyrotechnical line throwers are inherently dangerous as they contain explosives which, when triggered, propel a line forward. This equipment should be stored, handled and used appropriately. This equipment requires significant training in order to ensure correct use and to avoid accidents.

In the late 1980s, pneumatic line throwers were invented to provide a product that is safer, cost effective, and has long delivery distances.
