The New Edelrid Smart Belay X with Magnetic Technology

Introducing the new Edelrid Smart Belay X. The Smart Belay X is an enhanced version of our legendary Smart Belay—now with innovative magnetic technology for continuous safety and maximum freedom of movement on your high ropes course. A new feature is the magnetic locking mechanism—the Smart Belay's opening mechanism is only released by an integrated magnet after contact with the steel cable.

Park Operations

Unmatched freedom and intuitive handling

The communicating, interconnected pulley carabiners form the heart of this highly reliable safety and belay system. If one carabiner is opened, the secondary carabiner's opening mechanism is automatically blocked. Disengaging the entire system without additional tools is strictly impossible.

With its outstanding geometry, the Smart Belay X is exceptionally intuitive, allowing even children to maneuver the course securely and independently. Overtaking slower participants is simple and safe, effectively eliminating frustrating bottlenecks and long waiting times on the course.

Common Questions

Edelrid Smart Belay X FAQs

How does the magnetic locking mechanism improve safety?

The Smart Belay X's opening mechanism is only released by an integrated magnet after physical contact with the steel cable. This makes it completely impossible for the belay system to be disengaged without specialized additional tools, drastically minimizing the risk for both operators and visitors.

Can the Smart Belay X be used directly on zip lines?

Yes. The device features integrated steel pulleys built straight into the carabiner. These are explicitly designed for zip line use, eliminating the need to provide or switch to a separate double pulley for those sections of the course.

What is the purpose of the integrated Pilot Bar?

The integrated Pilot Bar helps minimize the risk of strangulation and provides participants with a firm handhold to control their direction on zip lines or while navigating physically demanding obstacles. Crucially, it ensures the user's hands stay clear of the active steel cable.

Will I need to extensively modify my existing adventure park to install this?

No. The modular design of the Smart Belay X means it can be seamlessly integrated into existing setups and elements without expensive retrofits. It easily accommodates all common safety cable heights (1.6 m–2.1 m) and standard steel cable diameters.

How does the built-in RFID transponder benefit operators?

The embedded RFID transponder allows for rapid registration, tracking, and management of your rental fleet. You can precisely monitor usage cycles and check the product's PPE status at any time, saving administrative costs while actively increasing compliance and safety.
