Buckingham Throttle Mechanical Device
The Ultimate Mechanical Rope Climbing Device for Arborists
The Buckingham 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), it adapts effortlessly to your climbing style — whether rapidly ascending in SRS or making precise positioning adjustments in MRS.
Engineered for climbers at all experience levels, it delivers unmatched performance, control and reliability, making it suitable for the most demanding tasks in modern arboriculture. This is the most versatile and highest‑quality mechanical climbing device Buckingham has ever produced, designed to deliver, perform and grow with users throughout their careers.
CE Certified for Professional Safety Standards
The Throttle is fully CE certified, ensuring it meets stringent European safety requirements for professional climbing equipment. Arborists can rely on its performance and construction knowing it meets high‑level compliance and safety expectations.
Dual Articulating, Self‑Adjusting Cam System
Featuring a proprietary dual‑articulating, self‑adjusting cam system, the Throttle is engineered for maximum friction control. The cams automatically adapt to rope movement, offering smooth ascent, controlled descent and consistent engagement. Compatible with 11–13mm climbing lines, it fits the standards used by professional arborists worldwide.
Rope Capture Technology™ for Increased Safety
Buckingham’s Rope Capture Technology™ prevents the rope from inadvertently exiting the device during use. This added layer of security is invaluable when navigating complex canopies or working in tight or awkward positions.
Easy‑to‑Learn, Intuitive Operation
Unlike many mechanical devices that require advanced skill to use efficiently, the Throttle is designed to be intuitive. Novice climbers benefit from its predictable control, while experienced arborists appreciate its smooth handling and responsive performance.
Instant Transition Between SRS and MRS
The Throttle supports both Single Rope Systems and Moving Rope Systems without the need for extra parts or attachments. This versatility saves time on the job while offering complete freedom in climbing technique.
Durable 304 Stainless Steel Friction Components
The Throttle is constructed with oversized 304 stainless steel friction components to deliver exceptional durability and wear resistance. Built for heavy, daily professional use, it stands up to intense workload without compromising performance.
Superior Descent Control
Engineered for smooth downward movement, the Throttle avoids the over‑sensitive release issues found in some competitor devices. Climbers enjoy predictable, controlled descent — a key advantage for safety, comfort and precision.
Replaceable Wear Components
To prolong the device’s working life and reduce operational costs, all major wear components are replaceable. This ensures long-term reliability even under demanding commercial use.
