Throw Weights & Lines – Precision Tools for Arborist Climbing

Setting up a climbing line efficiently is crucial for any arborist. Throw weights and throw lines help climbers establish secure anchor points from the ground, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy. At Lifting.com, we offer professional-grade throw weights, throw lines, and storage solutions from top brands like Weaver, Petzl, and All Gear to ensure you get the job done right.

How Throw Weights & Lines Work

• Throw weights – Small, weighted bags (typically 8-16 oz) designed to be tossed over branches.
• Throw lines – Lightweight, low-friction cord attached to the weight, used to guide climbing ropes into position.
• Together, they allow arborists to set climbing ropes from the ground, minimizing the need for unnecessary climbing.

The Big Shot – A High-Performance Throwing Tool
Throwing weights by hand can be tiring and imprecise, especially when aiming for higher branches. The Big Shot Throw Weight Launcher is a powerful, slingshot-style tool that:

• Launches throw weights higher and with greater accuracy than hand-throwing.
• Reduces physical strain and increases efficiency on the job.
• Works with various throw weights and lines to suit different climbing setups.

Choosing the Right Throw Weight & Line
Selecting the correct throw weight and line depends on tree height, branch density, and personal throwing style:

• Lighter weights (8-10 oz) – Ideal for high branches, but they may get stuck in dense foliage.
• Heavier weights (12-16 oz) – Provide more momentum to descend through branches but require extra force to launch.
• Dyneema throw lines – Jet Set is ultra-low friction for superior glide, while Bull’s Eye offers a balance of performance and affordability.
