Discover the next generation TRUBLUE Auto Belay, the most trusted and safest auto belay system in the world. Engineered for the future, the TRUBLUE iQ features innovative magnetic braking technology, which eliminates the need for friction-based parts, reducing wear and long-term maintenance costs. This self-regulating system provides a smooth, consistent, and reliable descent for climbers of all weights, from 10 kg to 150 kg (22 to 330 lbs). With increased durability and compliance with the most stringent international safety standards, the TRUBLUE Auto Belay is the ultimate solution for climbing gyms, rope courses, and family entertainment centers. Future-proof your facility and enhance climber safety with the world leader in auto belay technology.

The TRUBLUE Auto Belay is a self-regulating belay device designed to protect a climber without the need of a partner. Unlike traditional belay devices that depend on friction to provide a braking force, the TRUBLUE Auto Belay magnetic braking is unique because there are no parts in contact within the braking system!

Due to its high-quality design, proprietary magnetic technology, and dependable performance, the TRUBLUE Auto Belay has swiftly become the most trusted and extensively used auto belay in the world. It’s the next generation of auto belays for indoor and outdoor climbing walls. Thousands of TRUBLUEs are in use at climbing gyms, rope courses, and family entertainment centers across the world, thanks to their design for the climbing business. Years of study, development, and testing went into the self-regulating magnetic braking system. They’ve been designed to meet the most stringent safety requirements.

The TRUBLUE iQ PLUS Auto Belay is the latest generation of climbing wall auto belays for both indoor and outdoor use. Thousands of TRUBLUEs have been installed in climbing gyms, ropes courses, family entertainment centers, and other locations across the world.

Years of research, development, and testing went into TRUBLUE’s self-regulating magnetic braking system. Our auto belay is built for climbers and designed to be safe. TRUBLUE Auto Belays are designed to meet the most stringent safety requirements, including comprehensive testing by TÜV/SÜD Product Service GmbH, one of the world’s top certification authorities.

TRUBLUE was created exclusively for the climbing industry and is now used in climbing gyms, indoor and outdoor climbing walls, recreation centers, training facilities, camps, and colleges all over the world. TRUBLUE is the most trusted auto belay for a variety of reasons.

Technology of Magnetic Braking

Magnetic braking technology is used exclusively by TRUBLUE, making it the only auto belay on the market. Magnetic braking is more reliable than friction-based braking since it does not rely on friction to produce braking action.

System that regulates itself

The magnetic braking system of a TRUBLUE adjusts and responds to the weight of the participant automatically. This means that both children and adults will have a smooth fall at similar rates.

Low Ownership Costs

There are no friction pads or contacting parts necessary for braking using eddy current magnetic braking, therefore there are fewer components that could wear out or fail. This increases reliability while lowering maintenance costs in the long run.

More Climbers & More Walls

The TRUBLUE auto belay system has the widest weight and height range of any modular auto belay system. TRUBLUE supports weights ranging from 22 pounds (10 kilograms) to 330 pounds (150 kilograms), and our XL model has a maximum mounting height of 65 feet (19.8m).

Safety Requirements that are the most stringent

Our TRUBLUE auto belay complies with the most stringent safety requirements of any auto belay available.

Installing or relocating the system is simple.

  • The TRUBLUE’s compact, modular design makes it simple to set up and relocate.
  • International safety criteria are met: TRUBLUE was created with climbers in mind and is built to last. TRUBLUE was designed to meet international fall arrest device safety standards.
  • Comprehensive safety testing: The TRUBLUE auto belay has been subjected to extensive safety testing by an ISO 17025 qualified product testing company for over four years.

The most tested and trusted auto belay

When it comes to choosing an auto belay for their business, everyday gyms, camps, adventure parks, and more have a few options. We take safety seriously because lives are actually on the line, and we believe you should as well.
