Non-Destructive Magnetic Rope Testing on Ziplines and Zipwires

Learn how Magnetic Rope Testing helps zipline operators meet safety regulations, prevent accidents, and extend the life of their wire ropes.

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. As a non-destructive testing method, MRT uses an electromagnetic field to scan the entire length of a zipline cable, providing a comprehensive internal assessment. This technology precisely identifies and locates hidden defects long before they become catastrophic failures. By incorporating Magnetic Rope Testing into your maintenance program, you can prevent accidents, ensure regulatory compliance, extend the life of your ropes, and provide the highest level of safety for your guests.
