TRUBLUE Auto Belay

The TRUBLUE auto belay gives you additional unique benefits beyond other auto belays.

Safety First

Auto belays are not governed by the same standards as other climbing equipment, there is no industry safety standards for auto belays. The TRUBLUE auto belay has been engineered to meet international safety standards that pertains to general climbing equipment and is the ONLY auto belay that does.

Safety standards that TRUBLUE conforoms to:

American National Standard ANSI/ASSE Z359.4-2007 "Safety Requirements for Assisted-Rescue and Self-Rescue Systems, Subsystems and Components"

Canadian Standard, CSA Z259.2.3-99 "Descent Control Devices"

Australian and New Zealand Standard, AS/NZS 1891.3 1997 "Industrial fall-arrest systems and devices - part 3: Fall arrest devices"

European Union Directive BS EN 341 "Personal protection equipment against falls from a height - Descender devices"

Benefits

Advanced Technology

Smooth descent:
The self-regulating braking system 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 with no sacrificial wear parts:
Non-contacting magnetic technology with a reliable self-regulating backup system.

Safety

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.

Flexibility

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

Maximum descent height of 41 feet (12.5 m):
Provides the longest range of all modular systems.

Accommodates a wide range of climber weights:
The TRUBLUE allows for a weight range of 22 – 330 lbs (10 to 150 kg), making it the ideal auto belay system for facilities with a wide audience of children and adults.

Minimal Maintenance Requirements and Costs

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:
Uniqufield-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 with a low cost of $199. 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.
