The TRUBLUE provides many unique benefits to operators:
TRUBLUE’s auto belays self-regulating magnetic braking system is the result of years of research, development and testing. This braking system is engineered to eliminate the need for a clutch bearing, which is a key potential point of failure in previous and current modular auto belay designs.
The TRUBLUE FAR outlasts other autobelays because the unique magnetic braking system. The TRUBLUE is not affected by the elements so it will work, wet, dusty, cold, or hot!
TRUBLUE is designed for climbers and engineered for safety. Our auto belays are engineered to meet the strictest safety standards of all auto belays. Plus, These auto belays have undergone extensive testing by an ISO 17025 certified lab specializing in product safety testing.
TRUBLUE does not contain any sacrifical wear parts. The result is a lower cost of ownership than other modular auto belays.
TRUBLUE auto belays is built for Challenge Course and Outdoor Ropes Courses. The only unit that can be used on Traversing Elements*. With TRUBLUE, autobelays can be used for High V, Vine Walk, Cat Walk, and other traversing ropes course elements. *Certain design criteria MUST be applied.

Why Auto Belay?
What’s an auto belay?
Traditionally, top rope climbing involves two people – the climber and the belayer. As the climber ascends the wall, the belayer takes up slack in the rope through a belay device. With a brake hand on the rope at all times, the belayer controls the descent of the climber and is also responsible for applying a braking technique in the event of a fall.
An auto belay is an automatic device that eliminates the need for a human belayer. In the case of the TRUBLUE Auto Belay, we use a patented self-regulating braking system, which is enabled by non-contacting magnetic braking technology. The belay device takes up the slack as a climber ascends and controls the descent when the climber reaches the top or in the event of a fall. Rather than requiring one human belayer per climber, this devices allows multiple climbers on the wall with one person as a supervisor.
Why use an auto belay?
Bottom line, incorporating auto belays into your facility helps you increase revenue while reducing costs and risk.
- Attract single climbers: With an auto belay, climbers don’t need to rely on having a partner every time they visit your facility. Single climbers can come in whenever their schedule allows, giving them the opportunity to visit your facility more frequently.
- Reduce barriers to entry: Climbing can be intimidating for beginners, and climbing wall operators can attract more new participants by minimizing the barriers to entry. Autobelays eliminate the need for belayer training and testing, allowing new participants to just clip in and climb. This also makes autobelay devices perfect for venues that attract infrequent climbers, like amusement parks and resorts.
- Provide a unique endurance training tool: Using an autobelay device gives single climbers the ability to climb up and down routes continuously without the need to take turns with their climbing partner. The result is an endurance workout much more intense that in traditional indoor climbing.
- Increase programming while decreasing staff costs: Having modular auto-belays allows you to hold more classes, birthday parties, clinics and other group programming while keeping staff costs to a minimum. Simply move the auto belay devices to the areas where they are most needed for your programming schedule and fewer staff members will be needed to belay or supervise your climbers.
- Minimize your facility risk: The biggest risk in running a climbing facility are falls related to belayer human error. These devices eliminate the human error factor from the equation, reducing your risk.
