PLT by Restech Norway AS – The PLT range of products from Restech offer a safe, cost-effective alternative to conventional, pyrotechnic line throwers. The pneumatic PLT does not require consumable, perishable explosive cartridges so there is no cost to practice or train with the unit. Additionally, there are no sparks or flames so it is safer to use at all time, especially when there may be explosive vapors around, such as in oil and gas environments. The Restech PLT is the only SOLAS approved pneumatic line thrower.

The PLT and PLT mini offer various projectiles for MOB rescue, docking, and line retrieval. The PLT base unit has interchangeable launching tubes depending on the projectile. This configurability means the PLT offers a wide range of projectile options. The PLT is powered by a small air bottle which stores enough compressed air to fire several shots before needing to be refilled. The PLT mini has only one launching tube and can fire a slightly more limited range of projectiles. The PLT mini is powered by 33g CO2 cartridges or can be filled for a single shot from an optional air bottle and adapter.
