The Throttle is the ultimate mechanical rope climbing device for arborists, combining cutting-edge technology with rugged durability.

Designed to excel in both MRS (Moving Rope System) and SRS (Stationary Rope System) climbing, The Throttle adapts effortlessly to your climbing style, whether you’re ascending quickly with SRS or positioning yourself with precision using MRS. Ideal for climbers at any level, it offers unmatched performance and control, built to handle even the most demanding tasks in arboriculture.

This is the highest quality and most versatile mechanical rope climbing device ever seen and was designed to deliver, perform, and grow with users at all levels of Arboriculture.

Proprietary dual articulating and self-adjusting cam system, specifically designed for maximum friction control. For use on 11mm-13mm climbing lines.

The Throttle includes our new Rope Capture Technology™, which helps prevent the potential of rope inadvertently coming out of device.

Easy to Learn Intuitive Design

• Unlike current devices available, the Throttle is the most user friendly, fully featured mechanical rope climbing device

Single Rope & Moving Rope System Compatibility

• No additional components are needed to switch between SRS & MRS modes.

Rope Compatibility

• Designed for ropes ranging between 11mm to 13mm

Enhanced Durability

• Features larger 304 stainless steel friction components, significatnly increasing wear resisitance.

Superior Descent Control

• The Throttle provides more controlled friction when descending, avoiding the overly sensitive release of some competitor products. Designed for intuitive operation, it ensures smooth, predictable handling, even for novice arborists.

Replaceable Wear Components

• The Throttle’s wear components are replaceable.
