The TRUBLUE iQ+ marks the largest leap forward in auto belay innovation in over a decade. Designed for both indoor and outdoor climbing walls, the iQ+ is the first and only auto belay device to offer advanced features like catch-and-hold technology.
As the premium model in our iQ series, every TRUBLUE iQ+ is handmade in the USA and engineered to last. The patented magnetic braking system is friction-free, delivering high cycle counts with low maintenance requirements and minimal wear on internal parts.
Features
- Catch-and-Hold Technology: Allows climbers to rest and project routes.
- Built for indoor and outdoor use.
- High cycle count, minimal maintenance, and low cost of ownership.
- Smooth descent: TRUBLUE is the only auto belay to utilize magnetic braking technology. Magnetic braking is extremely reliable (even in wet conditions), friction-free, and self-regulating, providing the same rate of descent regardless of a user’s size or weight.
- Unassisted Ascent: Rather than pulling climbers up the wall, TRUBLUE gives users the most authentic climber feel, giving users the freedom to climb under their own power.
- Improved Durability: The iQ series is equipped with wider webbing, a built-in back bumper, and replaceable mount guard.
Safety
- Meets international safety standards: TRUBLUE is designed for climbers and engineered for safety. We engineered TRUBLUE to meet international safety standards for fall arrest devices.
- Extensive safety testing: For over four years, the TRUBLUE iQ series has undergone extensive safety testing by an ISO 17025 accredited company specializing in product testing.
- Shock Load Certified: TRUBLUE Auto Belays are certified under EN360:2002 to protect against shock loads. In climbing, these can be caused by dynamic movements.
- TÜV SÜD tested to 10x Class A
- Printable wall signage is available for your facility. You can download your copy here: TRUBLUE iQ+ Instructional Signage

TRUBLUE Auto Belays use patented magnetic braking technology, also found in high-speed trains and roller coasters. This provides friction-free, reliable braking that eliminates brake pads and reduces wear and maintenance.
Each device undergoes extensive third-party testing by an ISO 17025 accredited lab, ensuring top-tier safety and performance. This results in an extended device lifespan and higher cycle capacity, making TRUBLUE the safest, most durable auto belay on the market.
TRUBLUE Auto Belays are life-safety devices, and annual service inspections are crucial to maintaining safety standards and ensuring your device warranty remains valid. Lives are quite literally on the line!
Each service includes a comprehensive 62-point inspection, repairs or replacements of worn parts (including webbing), cleaning, and testing across a full range of weights to ensure optimal performance.
TRUBLUE Auto Belays require service inspections 15 months after the manufacturing date and every 12 months thereafter to ensure a high standard of performance and safety.
We offer two service options: a standard annual service appointment, where you send in your device for inspection and get the same one back, or contact us for our No Delay Belay program, which provides a quick swap for a new device with zero downtime, as well as other benefits.
