Pneumatic Grapnel Launcher

Grapnel Launcher Special Forces Set

The Grapnel Launcher can reach distances of up to 45m when using a 9mm rope. The launcher is hard-wearing and easy to maintain.

As well as use with Olympia Triumph’s popular folding grapnel hook, the Grapnel Launcher can be combined with a range of projectiles, including webbing ladders, messenger lines and ropes of various diameter. The launcher has multiple applications, including but not limited to:

  • Maritime boarding
  • Urban access
  • Swift water rescue or maritime rescue
  • Ship-to-ship or ship-to-shore
  • Non-lethal boat disabling
  • Canyon or building traverse

The Grapnel Launcher is simple to operate, powered by a rechargeable compressed air cylinder, and produces no smoke, heat or flash emissions. The air cylinder can be recharged at any air compressor. The launcher is suppled as either the tactical or special forces set both of which provide a turn key system for the end user.

The Olympia Triumph Grapnel Launcher (OTL63) is designed to achieve a point of anchoring for both maritime and urban operations when the height requirement is greater than the reach of our electric pole system.

The OTL63 provides an accurate and portable means of launching a grapnel and rope (or fibre ladder). The launcher uses compressed air with no subsequent heat, flash or loud explosive noises. The launcher firing pressure can be set at any pressure up to 120 bar as factory standard. There are safety features in place that make it impossible for you to overcharge the air cylinder or the air chamber of the launcher. The launcher is fed from a removable 500 cc cylinder and has an internal air chamber of 120 cc.

The launcher is compatible with two projectiles: the Folding Grapnel (a three-pronged spring-loaded titanium grapnel) and the Messenger Line Projectile (a top-heavy line weight designed for ship-to-ship targeting).

Maximum ranges under laboratory test conditions are:

  • 3 mm line: up to 120 m distance
  • 8 mm rope: up to 45 m distance
  • 11 mm rope: up to 35 m distance
  • Fibrelight ladder: up to 20 m in height
