zipSTOP Zip Line Brake

The zipSTOP Zip Line Brake delivers consistent and comfortable deceleration for a wide range of riders. Its self-regulating magnetic system adapts to different weights and speeds, enhancing safety and the overall rider experience on your adventure course, outdoor park, or recreational facility.

Reliable Rider Deceleration

The eddy current braking technology automatically adjusts to each rider, ensuring a smooth and controlled stop every time. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments and reduces the risk of abrupt stops, providing a safer and more enjoyable experience for your guests.

Simplified Operations and Safety

The automatic reset feature of the zipSTOP minimizes the potential for human error, allowing your staff to focus on other critical aspects of your operation. By taking the braking process out of the hands of riders or guides, you significantly enhance safety protocols and reduce potential risks.

Robust Design, Low Maintenance

The zipSTOP is built to last in demanding outdoor environments, ensuring consistent performance across all weather conditions. Its durable construction and minimal wear parts contribute to a low cost of ownership, with a straightforward annual recertification process.

Adaptable Performance

The zipSTOP can handle a broad spectrum of rider weights, from 15 to 150 kg (33 to 330 lbs). It accommodates arrival speeds up to 36 kph (22 mph) with a direct 1:1 connection and up to 60 kph (37 mph) when used with a 2:1 reduction line system.

Easy Integration

The zipSTOP assembly includes the brake device, trolley, and all necessary mounting hardware, making installation straightforward. Its design allows for a maximum line extension of 12.5 meters.
