MND: ADRENAZIP

sep22 np adrenazip

The new AdrenaZip trolley from MND Leisure uses new in-line braking technology that can adapt to slope steepness, up to a 30 percent grade. Two braking blocks on the wheels and non-contact braking eliminate wear and tear on the system, according to the company, and increase durability. The trolley has a load range of 88 to 330 lbs., and is capable of having one or two riders attached. The AdrenaZip is designed to pass through intermediate pylons along the span; the pylons are comparable to lift towers and serve to manage sag in the cable from one point to another, allowing for installations where a typical zip line wouldn’t be feasible. The trolley can be installed on lines up to 9,000 feet long and travel up to 75 mph. mnd.com
