Trublue Auto Belay
Trublue Auto Belay
In 2012, Eldorado Climbing, the creator of Kinetix Action Towers, spun-off Head Rush Technologies, maker of the world’s most trusted auto belay, the TRUBLUE. All Kinetix Action Towers incorporate TRUBLUE Auto Belays.
Protecting over 1 billion climbs across 60 countries and 6 continents every year, TRUBLUE is the #1 Auto Belay in the world. No other brand even comes close.
TRUBLUE makes climbing simple and approachable, turning first-time users into return customers and lifelong members. TRUBLUE Auto Belays are engineered to minimize maintenance and are built to last. The difference is the patented magnetic braking system, which delivers the smoothest user experience, the highest level of reliability (even with high cycle counts), and dramatically reduces device downtime.
By using Trublue Auto Belays on Kinetix Challenges, you increase throughput and reduce staffing numbers.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Magnetic Braking
TRUBLUE is the only auto belay on the market to use magnetic breaking.
Unmatched Reliability
Unlike brake pads or hydraulics, TRUBLUEs work as dependably as your compass points north thanks to our patented friction-free magnetic braking technology, ensuring a soft catch every time.
Catch-and-Hold Mode
TRUBLUE IQ+ is the first and only auto belay with Catch-and-Hold technology.
An Auto Belay Like No Other
TRUBLUE iQ+ features a Catch-and-Hold Mode, giving climbers the rest they need to finish routes. Now everyone can make it to the top.
Durable Construction
TRUBLUE Auto Belays are handmade in the USA and designed for heavy use, both indoors and outside.
Made To Last
From improved, wider webbing, to a built-in back bumper and replaceable mount guard, the iQ series is more durable (and lighter) than ever before
Low Maintenance
TRUBLUE’s patented magnetic breaking reduces wear on internal parts.
More Sends, Less Service
Our patented magnetic braking system means there are no pads or contacting parts required for braking, resulting in fewer components with the potential to wear out or fail.
Best Climber Experience
Unassisted ascent for an authentic climbing feel.
Designed For Climbers
Rather than pulling climbers up the wall, our devices offer an unassisted ascent, truer to the quintessential climbing experience.
Certified to the Max
Third-party tested to meet the most rigorous industry requirements.
Engineered For Safety
TRUBLUE is engineered to the highest international safety standards, including 10x Class A and Shock Load certification.

WHAT IS MAGNETIC BRAKING?
Magnetic braking utilizes magnets to make an object slow down or stop. A far superior braking technology than friction, magnetic braking is smooth, reliable, and extremely safe. Because it is friction-free, it also results in longer lasting products with fewer replacement parts. That’s why our patented magnetic braking system is the secret sauce behind the TRUBLUE Auto Belay.
HOW MAGNETIC BRAKING WORKS
When a user loads their weight onto a TRUBLUE Auto Belay, centrifugal force sends aluminum rotor arms spinning into the magnetic field of stationary magnets within the device. The movement of aluminum past magnets creates a phenomenon called an “eddy current” within the device. Eddy currents are circular electrical currents, named because they flow like eddies in a river. The force of the eddy currents opposes the force of the magnets, providing resistance and slowing the release of webbing from the device.
