For zipline operators, the structural integrity of the cable is the most critical safety component. Visual inspections alone cannot detect internal flaws like broken wires or corrosion. This is where Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT) becomes essential.

This technology precisely identifies and locates hidden defects long before they become catastrophic failures.
