The Benefits of a TruBlue Auto Belay System

Smooth descent: The self-regulating braking system has minimal variation in the descent rate of a child (at 10 kilograms min.) and an adult (at 150 kilograms max).

Reliability with no sacrificial wear parts: Non-contacting magnetic technology with a reliable self-regulating backup system.

Meets international safety standards: TruBlue is designed for climbers and engineered for safety.  We engineered TruBlue to meet international safety standards for fall arrest devices.

Extensive safety testing: For over four years, the TruBlue auto belay has undergone extensive safety testing by an ISO 17025 accredited company specializing in product testing.

No clutch bearing: The TruBlue has been engineered to eliminate the need for one-way clutch bearings.  This eliminates a key potential point of failure that is present in other auto belay designs, as well as the need to maintain and replace these mechanisms.

Gentle whirring noise: Our auto belay makes a gentle whirring noise as the climber descends, alerting those below of a descending climber.

Simple to install and easy to relocate: Compact modular unit designed to be hung from a top anchor.  Just one step and no cost.  Units can be moved to accommodate classes, birthday parties and other group activities, reducing staffing costs.

Maximum descent height of 12.5 metres: 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, making it the ideal auto belay system for facilities with a wide audience of children and adults.

Webbing based system: Will not damage walls like cable-based systems can.  Plus, webbing is preferred by climbers over cable for its more natural feel.

Reduced webbing wear: Unique field-replaceable webbing delivery nozzle significantly reduces webbing wear.

Minimal Maintenance: Webbing replacement for the TruBlue is significantly less expensive than cable replacement for other types of auto belays.

Low cost of ownership: An annual re-certification inspection is required but is very inexpensive.  Check out our pricing section to find out more..   The TruBlue has no limit on the number of cycles before annual re-certification.  Because they are modular, TruBlue units can be sent to our servicing center should they need repair, saving you money on costly site visits for stationary/fixed auto belays.

All TruBlue automatic belay systems come with a 2 year manufacturers warranty: giving you added piece of mind that your auto belay won't let you down - and you'll get a new one if it does!
