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.
