TRUBLUE Auto
Belay

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The TRUBLUE Auto Belay is the only auto belay

designed specifically for climbers, and also can
function in many other capacities in climbing gyms,
ropes courses, zip line tours, and more. With the
TRUBLUE, it is possible to descend from platforms,
introduce participants to free fall rides, teach your
clients to rappelyour imagination is the limit.

SAFETY STANDARDS

Using a TRUBLUE Auto Belay in your climbing

wall facility increases participation while driving
down costs and risk. Auto belays benefit all levels
of climbers, from the novice getting a feel for
the movement to the elite climber focusing on
conditioning and training.

FLEXIBILITY

The TRUBLUE uses a self-regulating magnetic

braking system and is engineered to meet the
strictest safety standards of all auto belays.

Reduced webbing wear with unique delivery

nozzle and field-replaceable webbing kit

Reliability with no sacrificial wear parts

Smooth descent with minimal variation in
descent rate of a child or an adult

Extensive safety testing

No clutch bearing, eliminating a key point of
potential failure present in other auto belay
designs
Optional belay gate accessory mitigates risk of
user error on climbing walls

Simple to install and easy to move

Accommodates a wide range of participant
weights from 22 330 lbs (10 to 150 kg)
Minimal maintenance requirements and costs
Webbing-based system will not damage walls
and feels natural when climbing

Because its so easy, because you can clip

and go, the TRUBLUE allows for the maximum
number of routes that you can climb. Kids love
the auto belays; they come in, clip in, and theyre
climbing all over the place. Weve had adults at a
high climbing level using them. The popularity so
far is huge, everyone loves them.
Will Russ, Owner
Santa Barbara Rock Gym

Theres virtually no maintenance. They are

definitely worth the investment. Putting in the
four TRUBLUEs was the best thing that we could
have ever done.
Mike Fitzgerald, Owner
Mid Air Adventures

Available in lengths up to 65 feet (20 meters).

Modular and compact, TRUBLUE Auto Belays are

easy to install, move and maintain. Plus, TRUBLUE

ZIPSTOP
TESTIMONIALS
With the zipSTOPs installed, our guides do half
the work they used to do, which saves us and our
customers valuable time. Our throughput nearly
doubled after the installation.
Traci Walker
Canyons Zip Line and Canopy Tours

In 2012 we installed two zipSTOPs on our dual

race lines, which average 45 mph. They have been
perfect from go. We have saved thousands of
dollars the zipSTOP does all of the work for both
lines and we only need one guide on the platform.
We love our zipSTOPs and couldnt be happier
with the product, staff, and reliability of Head Rush
Technologies.
Ty Seufer, Owner
Royal Gorge Rafting and Zip Line Tours

zipSTOP Zip Line

Brake
The best brake for your zip line. The zipSTOP uses a
self-regulating magnetic braking system to brake zip
line participants smoothly and comfortably.
The zipSTOP brakes participants consistently, even
at high velocities. The result is a better customer
experience and higher throughput and profitability
for your zip line or canopy tour.

KEY BENEFITS OF THE ZIPSTOP BRAKE

INCLUDE:
Eddy current magnetic braking technology for
smooth and consistent braking creating a better
rider experience
Wide range of rider weights and speeds
providing operators with a better ROI through a
greater range of potential participants
Controlled braking distance

ZIPSTOP IR
The zipSTOP IR is more streamlined version of our
popular zip line brake. The IR stands for internal
reduction, meaning that the device does not require
an external reduction line system. This device can
accommodate speeds to 37 mph (60 kph) without
the need for a reduction line system, making
installation easier.
The zipSTOP IR is ideal for the most common zip
lines those contacting the brake trolley at speeds
between 15-37 mph. For less than 15 mph, the
standard zipSTOP is perfect.
