What our customers say about our security systems

    "Very good product, easy to use and simplified briefing!"

    Guilhem Grouvel, Indiana River
    CLiC-iT RiDER

    "Quality materials, intuitive operation, well thought-out design!

    Used in conjunction with the C-ZAM L+, the CLiC-iT harness is very easy to handle. It gives us, the operators, and our customers the peace of mind of knowing that they'll stay strapped in at all times. Compatible with a wide range of safety systems."

    Jimmy Moore, Tree Adventures
    CLiC-iT Adventure

    "We've been using the C-PASS ZiP for our long zip line in our Laichingen adventure park since 2022. We're very happy with it."

    Sascha Vetter, Kletterwald Laichingen
    C-PASS ZIP

    "Reliability, peace of mind and confidence!

    For our rather extensive fleet, the product makes it easier to circulate on our various routes, avoiding traffic jams (possibility of overtaking, adults helping children, etc.). With the CLiC-iT fitted with a pulley, it's even more comfortable!

    Etienne MACE - PARADISE AVENTURE
    CLiC'n ZiP

    "The various feedbacks from our customers are very satisfactory. The transition of the courses to CLiC-iT RiDER is very conclusive, both for adults and children."

    Loïk KUMAR - AKROPARC DE LA VANOISE
    CliC-iT RiDER

    "The pulley that meets all our expectations! The C-ZiP XTREM pulley's connector holders eliminate wear due to impact at the end of the zip line, as well as friction on the rope. That saves time and materials!

    Stéphane COMBREMONT - Parc Brasov
    C-ZIP XTREM

    "Ergonomics at its best! We appreciate the consistency and durability of the steel sheaves on the C-ZiP SPEED pulley. There's no more risk of fingers or hair getting caught.

    Ergonomic, safe and easy!

    Félix TESTUT - Lioran Aventure
    C-ZIP SPEED

    "Easy to install! Thanks to the excellent rolling properties of the C-ZiP XTREM pulley, we didn't have to change the slopes of our zip lines. Its plus: real ease of installation on the cable!"

    Maël ROUX - VERTIVELAY
    C-ZiP XTREM

    "Quiet and ergonomic! I recommend the C-ZiP AIR pulley because of its quality and reliability. I've noticed a clear reduction in cable wear! The performance is contant and reliable, so adjusting the zip lines is greatly simplified!"

    Patrice VARGEL - Trièves Adventure Trail
    C-ZiP AIR

    "I'm fully satisfied because the product considerably reduces the risk of collision.

    Today, I can't do without it on long zip lines (160m) because of the control exercised by customers. I highly recommend using the C-PASS ZiP, which does its job and makes long zip lines safer."

    Valentin JACQUET - Geneva Adventure Park
    C-PASS ZIP

    "Very useful on long zip lines where you can't see the finish, it avoids heavy pruning around the zip line and keeping an operator busy watching the start. Very good system!"

    Jérémy CASTAING - Akrobranch d'Orlu
    C-PASS ZIP

    "It's superbly suited to all silhouettes. It doesn't slip or loosen, even with strong movements. It opens easily thanks to the quick-release straps."

    Hochseilgarten HEIST
    C-BODY

    "What we particularly like is that the harnesses are well adapted to customers of different sizes and morphologies. This is particularly practical for large groups."

    Abenteuer im WALD KENZINGEN
    C-BODY

    "We have three parallel 160m zip lines and over the distance, customers don't pay enough attention and collisions happen because they don't look to see if their zip line is free. With the C-PASS, safety is noticeably increased!"

    Adventure park Geneva, Onex, Switzerland
    C-PASS

    "On our ziplines, we were always afraid that someone would leave while the previous person was still on it, because it's hard to see the finish. What's more, customers often wondered whether they could leave or not. The C-PASS is very reassuring. It's very easy to install and use. We highly recommend this product, it brings security and peace of mind!"

    Sherwood Parc, Viarmes, île-de-France
    C-PASS

    "Visibility was difficult in the forest, so we had several collisions a year, despite a system of lights at the start. Impossible to solve without an operator on site... Problem solved! Impossible to have a collision on the course. Easy to install on existing courses, very simple to use and intuitive for customers".

    Parcobranche du Diable, Avrieux, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the BABO BOLT easy to install?

    Yes, it's designed to be installed quickly and easily by a single operator. An installation guide is provided, and videos help you follow the steps.

    What is the mechanical strength of BABO BOLT?

    BABO BOLTs are designed to ensure optimum strength of the fixing in the tree. That's why we offer a BABO BOLT model for hardwoods and platforms, and a longer model for softwoods (because the wood is softer).

    Of course. Our technical experts are available to study your specific needs and propose the best solutions for your fleet configuration.
