EBL will, from time to time, take select equipment from courses and conduct break tests to determine how equipment is wearing and tearing after use by ropes course participants. Currently, we have a working knowledge of over tens of thousands participant cycles on our client courses. These results help us provide more accurate information for our clients and help maximize equipment life cycles without compromising customer or course integrity.

EBL assisted in the design and development of custom harnesses, pulleys, safety lanyards, and operational procedures in conjunction with an ISO-9001 registered company. All lanyards, pulleys, and carabiners are selected and designed specifically for their industrial use and operation with zip line ecology tours. Many components are rated and break test well over 7,000 lbs. Tour pulleys are rated to and break test at around 19,000 lbs.
