Tag: Zipline Trolley

A zipline trolley, also known as a pulley, is an essential component of any zipline system. It is responsible for carrying the rider along the cable from one end of the zipline to the other. There are several types of zipline pulleys available, including magnetic and eddy current pulleys.

Magnetic zipline trolleys use powerful magnets to create a magnetic field that slows down and controls the speed of the rider. Eddy current zipline trolleys, on the other hand, use the principles of electromagnetic induction to create a braking force that slows down and stops the rider. Both of these types of pulleys are becoming increasingly popular in the adventure business industry, with more and more adventure parks and outdoor recreation areas adopting them for their zipline rides.

In our series of white papers and expert articles, we’ll explore the world of zipline trolleys and pulleys and provide valuable insights into what it takes to succeed in this exciting industry. From equipment selection and maintenance to risk management and customer service, we’ll cover all the essential topics that adventure business owners and operators need to know.

Whether you’re a seasoned zipliner or an adventure business owner looking to incorporate the latest in zipline trolley technology into your offerings, our resources can help you make informed decisions and achieve greater success.

Zip Line Trolley Inspection and maintenance

Despite the complexity of the zip line operation, visitors shouldn’t ever be aware of any individual component, let alone the state of the trolley they’re hanging from. This is where meticulous examination and upkeep are necessary, especially for parts that are closest to the user, like the trolleys in your park.
