MAG Brake Trolley: Self-braking Zipline trolley with integrated magnetic brake
Proven Technology
We use proven Eddy Current brake technology, that is extremely reliable, smooth, and low maintenance. The magnetic braking is friction-free with no contacting parts. Eddy Current technology is fully proven and used in many critical applications. Our automatic-braking Zip wire Pulley is therefore one of the safest brake pulley available on the market for high end commercial zipline with slopes up to 25% and speeds up to 140 km/h.

About Magnetic Braking Technology
The Eddy Current (Magnetic) brake technology is extremely reliable, smooth, and low maintenance. The braking is friction-free with no contacting parts.
Low Maintenance
Because the braking is magnetic there are no contacting parts in the braking system to wear out or fail. The Magnetic Zipline Trolley is low maintenance and extremely reliable. Wheel changes are easy and are integrated in the normal inspection cycle.
Self-Regulating
The self-braking Zipline pulley is self-regulating, meaning it adjusts automatically based on the characteristics of the zipline and rider. Since the braking resistance adjusts automatically to zip wire configuration, the MAG Trolley can accommodate a wide range of ziplines, and thus providing riders a similar and consistent experience.
Best User Experience
The automatic-braking Zipline trolley with Magnetic braking system is self-regulating, braking will be gradual and the speed will progressively decrease. A heavier participant will generally generate a faster speed, causing the magnetic field to create increased braking force. This allows a wide range of weights to enjoy a similar and consistent experience.
