If you would like to build a Zip Line cable ride for your back yard, play area or special adventure location, Outdoor Fun Store can get you parts to do the job. We have helped adventurous individuals with the installation of over 4500 zipline projects in United States, United Kingdom, France, Guam, Australia, Canada and Guatemala.
Installing a zipline trolley ride is a combination of Art and Science. You need an understanding of the mechanical and safety aspects of zip line construction before ordering these materials. We can provide an installation tip sheet when you order the zip line kit. If you want a simple do-it-yourself kit, look at our Fun Ride Deluxe.
A very good and informative site, thank you!
It's evident that you are interested in more than just selling products...

NOTE: When you order your zip line cable assembly kit, put in the special instructions block of the order form the distance between trees and the thickness (girth or diameter) of the trees you plan to use, so we send you a kit designed for your needs.
NOTE: If you order a cable assembly kit plus extra cable, you will receive one spool of cable with the total amount ordered. If this is not what you want, call or put a note in the special instructions block of the order form. (e.g. Cable kit + 150' cable = 250' reel.)
NOTE: We offer both Galvanized and Stainless Steel Cable. While the Galvanized cable is about 10% stronger, the Stainless is more resistant to the effects of weather and offers a smoother ride.

Velocity Zip Line Tandem Trolley
This professional dual pulley trolley with ball bearings is the heart of a zip line system. If you have everything else and just need a good pulley to bring your zip line to life, this is it.
The trolley has in-line stainless steel sheaves(a trolley must have hardened steel sheaves to work on wire cable instead of the typical steel and aluminum sheaves found on most pulleys)and fixed sideplates for added stability and optimal load distribution.
A tandem pulley is also desirable on ziplines due to the pulley creating a trolley effect vs a swinging effect that a single pulley will create. The side plates are split apart so that it will easily fit over the top of the cable without having to unhook the cable.
The sheaves are fitted with sealed ball bearings for high efficiency. Breaking strength on this trolley is about 14,000 pounds. Maximum recommended working speed is 20 meters per second (over 40 MPH). For use on 1/4 inch thru 1/2 inch steel cable.

Zip Line Connector Strap - HD Trolley Lanyard
The Heavy Duty Trolley Lanyard makes ziplining a cinch. A rider with a dual attachment trolley should have two separate lanyards attached to the trolley for a safe and secure ride.
