Trolley Brake Block

A perfect companion to our Zip Line Trolleys. Carved from dense Appalachian hardwood and sealed with an environmentally safe preservative. The striking surface is crafted from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, noted for it's exceptional wear resistance. Steel hardware and a galvanized eye bolt round out the package.

The Zip Line Brake Block is mounted on the 3/8" cable. toward the end of the zip line; approx 25-40' away from the cable termination. 2 - 4 lengths of 3/8" bungee or 1 -2 lengths of 1/2" bungee cord are attached to the eye bolt on the zip line brake block by a carabiner. The bungee is pulled and secured on both sides of the zipline corridor. Bungee cords must be separated to avoid contact and potentail injury to the zip line rider! 1/2" bungee has twice the life and durability of 3/8" bungee. To better protect your zip line bungee brake cord, you could cover it with 2" nylon webbing. this will greaty enhance your bungee cord's life and strength.
