Commercial braked Zip Wire trolley

The trolley has both an internal brake and integrated finger protection. The internal brake ensures that the trolley only moves when someone is sitting on the seat which is attached to the trolley via the multi angled double shackle.
Screw gate carabiner
Oval-shaped carabiner decreases the chances of cross loading the gate and distributes the load evenly making it ideal for use with Zip Wire Trolleys. Strong and versatile with an alloy steel body & screw-locking gate.
Zip Wire Seat
The Zip Wire Rubber Seat can be used for domestic or commercial applications and offers superior comfort due to the rubber seat section and chain protector.
3m Brake Spring
Our 3m Stainless Steel Spring Brake is the ultimate in Zip Wire braking systems. The 3m Spring Brake offers a much more gentle end to the ride which is ideal for younger children or for faster rides.

TESTIMONIALS
What our clients say...
“
"The children are so happy with the play area, when they can persuade the adults to leave it alone. Well done Paul and team, great job.”
“
"I would highly recommend Treehouse Life. Their design of a play area for my children was well thought out and fitted perfectly into the space we had. They were quick to install and the quality of the materials and the overall build is exceptional. My children love playing there, so in short it was well worth it."
“
"Treehouse Life are entirely "Client-Centric", and each project is completely unique. This is because they go to endless trouble to fulfil each Clients dreams. I am building a Tree House in my big Oak Tree in Normandy and can't wait to see it !"
“
"Paul and his crew were 100% brilliant from the start to finish. Throughout the project Paul has demonstrated exceptional problem solving skills and patience. He was particularly helpful in the initial design stage and the finish is like something straight out of fairytale. The play area looks absolutely stunning yet blends in with the nature and provides fantastic and safe environment for children to play. The workmanship and materials are of the highest quality and the pricing has been very transparent throughout the entire project."

"Could not be happier! Paul & team did an incredible job helping me bring my idea to life. It is safe to say the Treehouse is a hit. In the end we decided to go for a hybrid between a summer house and a Treehouse to keep the space versatile for adults and older children to use - The team were super creative and helpful in making sure I create something that’s both practical for my garden and exciting for the kids. They also added some of their own design touches which work really well."

"Whilst the design was fantastic, the final result is absolutely everything we hoped for and yet in so many ways has exceeded our expectations."
“
"Paul and his team did a fabulous job creating the most wonderful play area for our children. It was a very streamlined process with very little input required from us.

"Paul really took time to understand what I was looking for. I wanted something very special, magical and unique. I had a specific idea in mind with a treehouse that was all crooked and artistic. He got it straightaway and worked with me all the way through to ensure I was completely happy with it. His team of builders were professional and the job was completed on time. I couldn't recommend him more highly and I will certainly be using him again on other projects."

Who knew babysitting and child-minding could reach this level of fun?”

The build itself was thoroughly professional with really lovely people that were a pleasure to have around. They worked alongside my bouncy Labrador, provided off cuts for my kids to transform into works of art and at the same time built an incredible treehouse on time and addressed any concerns and queries immediately."

“
"Preceded by full understanding and appreciation for what I wanted to be achieved, Paul was able to design, build and model the project around my budget and creative desires.

“
"Paul not only had fine knowledge in helping me decide what the best wood is for my decking and terrace fencing, he also has extremely good skills and an eye for detail.

"Clear and speedy communication (nothing worse than having to wait forever for someone to reply to you), followed up by quick action, planning in of dates and completing the mission. Best toy ever. I have actually never left a review on a platform for anything before but Treehouse Life deserves it since they have consistently delivered quality in all aspects of their work."

We would highly recommend working with Paul."
