When an emergency strikes on the slopes, you want equipment that ensures quick, safe rescue. The DTX Shoulder Line Launcher Shot is a proven tool to meet the demanding needs of ski patrol teams, transforming rescue operations with fast, precise line placement and dependable performance in tough conditions.
This high-angle rescue launcher uses air pressure to shoot a 10-16oz bean bag with throw line attached to heights of 40 to 250 feet and can be deployed in just minutes.
Simple to use:
- Load the barrel with the included throwline and throw weight bag.
- Add air to the chamber (30-110 PSI – about as much as a bike tire), using the included air compressor or any standard hand pump or air tank. Adjust the height using the included PSI distance chart.
- Precisely aim down the barrel, open safety, and release.
Secure your rescue rope in minutes
Traditional methods—climbing chairlift towers, using cumbersome rope gliders, or deploying long cable systems—are slow, resource-heavy, and risky. This rescue launcher simplifies the process with precision line placement and long-distance rescue line deployment to dramatically speed up evacuations.
With this elevated rescue equipment, you can launch a line over the lift cable and secure your rescue rope in minutes, reducing delays and increasing overall rescue efficiency. Unlike old-style line guns, there is no noisy and often restricted black powder. Unlike slingshots, there are no rubber bands that stiffen or snap in the cold.
Built for safety and durability
Made of stainless steel and PVC, this durable emergency lift evacuation device gets the job done. It has a built-in safety to prevent misfires, an air-pressure release value to prevent overfilling, and a ball valve for a clean release
This allows your team to focus on what matters most—getting passengers to safety fast.
The DTX Shoulder Shot weighs just 11 pounds. The 26″ barrel can be unscrewed from the steel air chamber so it can be transported in a simple carry bag or hard case with other ski resort rescue equipment.
This professional rescue launcher can enhance rescue team capabilities and improve ski resort safety procedures.
