We have helped adventurous individuals with the installation of over 4500 zipline projects in United States, United Kingdom, France, Guam, Australia, Canada and Guatemala.

NOTE: If you order a cable assembly kit plus extra cable, you will receive one spool of cable with the total amount ordered. If this is not what you want, call or put a note in the special instructions block of the order form. (e.g. Cable kit + 150' cable = 250' reel.)
NOTE: We offer both Galvanized and Stainless Steel Cable. While the Galvanized cable is about 10% stronger, the Stainless is more resistant to the effects of weather and offers a smoother ride.

Deluxe Zip Line Tandem Trolley
This professional dual pulley trolley with ball bearings is the heart of a zip line system. If you have everything else and just need a good pulley to bring your zip line to life, this is it.
The trolley has in-line stainless steel sheaves(a trolley must have hardened steel sheaves to work on wire cable instead of the typical steel and aluminum sheaves found on most pulleys)and fixed sideplates for added stability and optimal load distribution.
A tandem pulley is also desirable on ziplines due to the pulley creating a trolley effect vs a swinging effect that a single pulley will create. The side plates are split apart so that it will easily fit over the top of the cable without having to unhook the cable.
The sheaves are fitted with sealed ball bearings for high efficiency. Breaking strength on this trolley is 24 kN (that's a lot - about 5,400 pounds) and a maximum working load of 10 kN (about 2,250 pounds). Maximum recommended working speed is 20 meters per second (over 40 MPH). For use on 1/4 inch thru 3/8 inch steel cable (12mm maximum size)(also works great with rope up to 1/2 inch).

For acrobatic passengers, the Zip vest allows passengers to flip up-side-down with no chance of falling out of the harness.
