zipSTOP IR Zip Line Brake

The zipSTOP IR Zip Line Brake utilizes the trusted self-regulating eddy current magnetic braking technology found in other zipSTOP models, ensuring smooth, comfortable, and consistent deceleration. Its internal reduction design streamlines installation for adventure parks, outdoor centers, and recreational facilities.

Simplified Installation

The key difference of the zipSTOP IR lies in its internal 2:1 reduction. This eliminates the need for external reduction lines, making the installation process simpler and cleaner. While a redirection line is still necessary, the integrated reduction offers more versatile mounting options, including pivot mounts.

Optimal Speed Range Performance

Specifically engineered for rider arrival speeds between 24-60 kph (15-37 mph), the zipSTOP IR delivers reliable braking within this range. This focus ensures efficient and safe stops for a wide variety of zip line designs and rider experiences.

Consistent and Safe Braking

Like all zipSTOP brakes, the IR model features eddy current magnetic technology that automatically adjusts to each rider's weight and speed. This guarantees a smooth and controlled stop, minimizing the risk of rider error and enhancing overall safety on your course.

Durable and Low Maintenance

Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, the zipSTOP IR offers consistent performance in various environmental conditions. Its robust design contributes to a low cost of ownership, supported by an annual recertification program.

FAQs

• What does the "IR" in zipSTOP IR stand for?

  • IR stands for internal reduction. This means the device has a 2:1 mechanical reduction engineered inside, eliminating the need for an external reduction line setup.

• What are the main advantages of the zipSTOP IR compared to the standard zipSTOP?

  • The primary advantages are simpler installation due to the integrated reduction, no requirement for external reduction lines (only a redirection line), and more flexible mounting options like pivot mounts.

• What is the ideal speed range for the zipSTOP IR?

  • The zipSTOP IR is best suited for rider arrival speeds between 24 and 60 kph (15 and 37 mph), providing optimized braking performance within this range.

• Can I use an external reduction line with the zipSTOP IR to handle higher speeds?

  • No, the zipSTOP IR is specifically designed with an internal reduction and should not be used with external reduction lines. Attempting to do so may compromise the safety and performance of the brake.

• Does the zipSTOP IR still offer automatic reset and smooth braking?

  • Yes, the zipSTOP IR utilizes the same eddy current magnetic braking technology as other zipSTOP models, ensuring smooth, automatic deceleration and automatic reset after each rider.
