Zip Wire Kit

Specifications

Materials
Zip Trolley

Professional Zip trolley – breaking load: 15 kN, minimum working load: 6 kN

Features a new level of safety to zip lines with an elegant pivot locking mechanism. This system makes attaching participants to cable faster and easier. It also ensures that the pulley cannot detach from the line while it is loaded. Features efficient steel bearings for high-speed adventure and stainless steel sheaves for durability.

Commercial braked Zip Wire trolley

This Stainless Steel Zip Wire Trolley has been TUV tested to meet and exceed European Safety Standards.

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.
