<strong>Access</strong> Launchers<br />
TAGS® ROPE AND LADDER LAUNCHERS<br />
TAGS® high performance pneumatic launchers are specifically designed for use<br />
in the toughest maritime and urban environments. They are extremely effective<br />
and easy to use in difficult special operations (diving, boat-based and landbased).<br />
Meet the most durable launchers on the market today. They are surprisingly<br />
simple to maintain -even in the field if necessary- and require only few<br />
spares to take along. The systems are very cost effective if used frequently and<br />
extremely reliable.<br />
TAGS® COMPACT LAUNCHER MKII<br />
TAGS® Compact Launchers have been specifically<br />
designed for use in the toughest maritime, remote and<br />
urban environments. We can proudly state it is trusted<br />
by many top notch units around the globe!<br />
Operations around the world have shown that the<br />
launcher is extremely effective and easy to use in difficult<br />
scenario’s (diving, boat-based and land-based<br />
ops). Based on operational (end user) experience we<br />
have implemented major improvements which led to our<br />
brand new MKII model.<br />
SIMPLE TO USE<br />
Rather than designing products that look fancy TAGS®<br />
offers products that work! After building the first<br />
prototypes we thought “how can we make this product<br />
look more cool”. Soon we came to the conclusion that it<br />
would be better to keep things simple and robust. Using<br />
it in extreme cold weather conditions with unexperienced<br />
users we came to the conclusion that this was a<br />
very wise decision. The launchers are extremely easy to<br />
operate.<br />
A compact rope container can be mounted on the<br />
left- or right side of the barrel and fits around 50m<br />
(165ft) of 9mm rope (both left-or right-handed operation<br />
possible). You can also fit both; ideal if you have to<br />
take multiple shots. The dedicated ladder canister fits a<br />
20m/65ft FibreLight II ladder and is mounted beneath<br />
the barrel. No tools or difficult actions are needed to<br />
mount the canisters. You can easy mount them wearing<br />
thick gloves in pitch dark. Two simple rubber bands<br />
prevent the rope or ladder falling out of the canister. You<br />
can leave the bands when taking the shot.<br />
The Compact Launcher is fitted with a folding stock that<br />
features shock mitigation. This ensures compact storage<br />
and transportation and mitigates the impact on the<br />
shoulder.<br />
