Rider Capture Vehicle

Materials and Construction

Main Body: Aerospace-Grade Polymer
The RCV4’s core is made from an aerospace polymer, prized for its outstanding impact resistance. This durable material withstands repeated use, forming a dependable base for rider safety.
Exoskeleton: Aerospace Titanium
A titanium exoskeleton surrounds the main body, providing extra strength and a secure lanyard attachment points. Titanium’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio ensures robust support without adding unnecessary bulk.
Wheels: Aluminum
Equipped with two aluminum wheels, the RCV4 minimizes wear and damage to the zipline cable. Aluminum’s lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties contribute to a smooth ride and prolonged cable life.
Runner Pad: Friction Surface
A specialized Runner pad on top serves as a friction surface against the zipline cable. This eliminate cable wear and reduce impact bounce when the rider’s trolley hits the RCV4, boosting comfort and equipment durability.
Front Impact Pad: Rubber and Stainless Steel
The front features a high-quality rubber impact pad, reinforced with a stainless steel plate. This design offers excellent durability and shock absorption, performing reliably in all weather conditions.
Anti-Corrosion and Extreme Condition Design
All materials—polymer, titanium, aluminum, and stainless steel—are anti-corrosion and built to excel in extreme conditions, ensuring long-term performance in challenging outdoor settings.

The RCV4 is a state-of-the-art rider capture vehicle designed to elevate zipline safety and rider experience through premium aerospace materials and innovative engineering. Every element is carefully crafted to ensure smooth, controlled impacts at the end of the ride, enhancing both safety and enjoyment for riders and operators.

Configurations for Different Zipline Speeds

The RCV4 can be configured in two ways to suit different zipline speeds, ensuring optimal safety and performance for both low-speed and high-speed rider descent vehicles:

Low-Speed Configuration
Tailored for slower ziplines, this setup provides a smooth and controlled stop. It adjusts the RCV4 to deliver gentle deceleration, prioritizing rider comfort and safety on leisurely rides.
High-Speed Configuration
Built for faster ziplines, this configuration offers the strength and stability required to handle greater momentum. It optimizes the RCV4 to safely decelerate riders at higher speeds, maintaining reliability under increased impact forces.

These two configurations highlight the RCV4’s versatility, making it adaptable to a wide range of zipline experiences while upholding its commitment to safety.
