TRUBLUE Auto Belay
The TRUBLUE Auto Belay was the first of its kind and it remains the best auto belay for your climbing gym, indoor climbing wall, fun climb, recreation center, training center – anywhere that fall protection is needed.
The TRUBLUE was designed specifically for the climbing industry and it uses technology that is superior to all other auto belay systems.
Advanced Technology
- Smooth descent: The self-regulating braking system adjusts automatically to suit the weight of the climber and has minimal variation in the descent rate of a child (at 22 lb/10 kg min.) and an adult (at 330 lb/150 kg max)
- Reliability: The fail to safe design means that the braking core will always engage even in the extremely unlikely case that the internal components completely fail.
- Fully Patented: The TRUBLUE is the only auto belay on the market with magnetic braking.
Minimal Maintenance Requirements and Costs
There are no wearing or sacrificial wear parts in this magnetic, non-contacting system; TRUBLUE was engineered to eliminate one-way clutch bearings, which removes a key potential point of failure present in other auto belay designs.
Carabiner
Our largest belay and rappel locker, the Petzl carabiner features a keylock, is Munter Hitch compatible and can be operated with one hand. Square hinge end holds belay loop securely in place Slightly curved spine maximizes gate opening Keylock nose prevents snagging One-hand operable Twistlock sleeve.
TRUBLUE Replacement Webbing
The TRUBLUE Auto Belay is fitted with a webbing that can be replaced in the field by the owner using the Replacement Webbing. Worn or damaged webbing should be replaced immediately. Damage includes, but is not limited to, excess wear, fluffing, sun bleaching, cuts, knicks, loose stitching, or burns.
Flexibility
- Simple to install and relocate: Compact modular unit designed to be hung from a top anchor.The end user can easily install the auto belay themselves.
- Wide range of descent heights from 7.5 m (24.6 ft) to 20 m (65.6 ft) - TRUBLUE provides the longest range of all modular systems
- Accommodates a wide range of climber weights: The TRUBLUE allows for a weight range of 10 to 150 kg (22 – 330 lbs), making it the ideal auto belay system for facilities with a wide audience of children and adults
- We believe that auto belays should not only meet the same standards as other fall arrest devices, they should meet the same standards as other climbing gear.TRUBLUE meets the strictest safety standards of all auto belays and has undergone extensive testing by an ISO 17025 certified lab.
