zipSTOP Pivot Mount: Smoother Braking & Easier Installation

The zipSTOP Pivot Mount expands the mounting possibilities of your zipSTOP or zipSTOP IR Zip Line Brake, while also allowing for smoother braking, reduced webbing wear, improved retraction, and simplified installation.

Key takeaways

What you need to know

  • Expands mounting possibilities for zipSTOP systems, including structural gantry installations.
  • Reduces webbing wear and ensures smoother, more reliable braking for the rider.
  • Tested and rated to a 22 kN minimum strength for safe commercial zipline operation.
  • Designed strictly for direct overhead, in-line use without an external reduction configuration.

Operational efficiency

Simplify your installation

The zipSTOP Pivot Mount was specially designed to make it easier to install your primary braking device, enabling the use of a secure structural gantry setup. Custom-engineered exclusively for the zipSTOP and zipSTOP IR, this mount drastically improves operational efficiency by simplifying the retraction process.

Please note that the Pivot Mount must be installed directly overhead and perfectly in line with your zipline trajectory. Eliminating the need for extensive redirection ropes not only provides cost savings but ensures your braking forces remain balanced and predictable.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the mount

Which braking devices is the Pivot Mount compatible with?

The zipSTOP Pivot Mount is custom-engineered specifically for use with the zipSTOP and zipSTOP IR Zip Line Braking Devices. It is not compatible with other free-fall devices or auto belay systems.

What are the main operational benefits of using the mount?

Proper use of the mount allows for smoother braking, reduced wear on the braking webbing, improved retraction speed, and a highly simplified installation process that can reduce overall hardware costs.

How should the Pivot Mount be positioned during installation?

The device must be used directly overhead and exactly in line with the zip line path. The anchor installation point should be directly above the point where the braking action is intended to begin.

Can I use the mount with a reduction line configuration?

No, the Pivot Mount must be used without any external reduction. It is engineered to operate safely in a 1:1 reduction line configuration only.

What is the minimum rated strength of the hardware?

The minimum rated strength of the mount is 22 kN (4,946 lbf), making it suitable for secure integration into high-throughput commercial zipline operations.
