Autobraking Ziplines: Controlled with Fail-safe Trolleys
Since 2001, Richardson Safety Trolleys (RSTs) have redefined zipline safety. From a record-breaking zipline in Park City, Utah, our newest trolleys RST-V25, we boast a flawless track record safely braking zipliners. Our latest RST-23 (mini) provides lightweight, one-setting speed control for zipliners, ensuring safety on various terrains.The RST's versatile pin/slope settings offer adjustment to contol the trolley's brake force. These speed adjustments, allow all zipliners to utilize the same adjustment for a controlled descent.
Zipline Safety Standard
ASTM's Zipline standard (F2959) added friction brakes and springs systems. Our trolleys are fail-safe (primary and secondary brakes). Following our work in 2002, at Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) the safest zipline in the world. PCMR remains accident-free after twenty-three years of operation, showcasing the reliability of RST systems. (see video https://youtu.be/rOF5eMnI9lU).
Ask the Builders
"We met Troy in 2019 and he sent us home with our first friction braking zipline trolleys. Since then we have purchase 1,000's of his springs and spacer. Our ziplines are safer with Troy's trolleys & spring braking systems"
“Troy began supplying us with friction-braking trolleys and spring arrays in 2018. We installed them easily in Africa and Canada. Troy's (fail-safe) Trolleys are safer, with TWO BRAKES. They are two times safer than two-wheeled trolleys that don't have ONE (brake)."

“Our zipline attractions are safer, because, Troy installed emergency brakes last year. This year for more safety we purchased Troy's Trolleys".
