About us

Neodymius is a leading Slovenian manufacturer of self-braking magnetic zipline trolleys designed for safe descents on steep zip lines. Our company is based in Slovenia and supplies professional zipline operators worldwide, focusing on safety, reliability, and long-term performance.

The company was founded in 2015, when we developed our first self-braking magnetic trolley. Since then, all product development has been based on extensive practical testing and real-world operating conditions.

Special attention is given to the selection of materials responsible for the braking performance, ensuring consistent speed control and reliable operation.

Neodymius trolleys are specifically engineered for steep ziplines, where controlled deceleration is critical for rider safety.

The self-braking system operates without external power or electronics, providing passive safety and minimal maintenance.

Our products are recognized for their high quality, long service life, and durability, offering maximum safety for users and long-term reliability for operators.
