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.

The zip line trolley is such a simple piece of equipment, but it seems to get more complicated every day. It is one of the most important parts of a zip line system, and its influence extends far beyond its primary function. The type of zip line trolley used at a site has an impact on wire replacement prices and frequency, as well as the type and performance of the brake system and maintenance expenses. It also has an impact on rider throughput time, operational strain, and, most importantly, rider experience and safety.
