TruBlue iQ Auto Belay — 12.5 m (41 ft) Controlled Descent for Fire Training

Move beyond manual belay. The TRUBLUE iQ Auto Belay is an automatic controlled descent system designed specifically for firefighter training. Replace the variability of manual belays with consistent, predictable lowering — and let your instructors focus fully on the trainee.

Engineered for fire & rescue training

From ladder bailout drills to window bailout evolutions, at-height victim removal, and recruit evaluations, the TRUBLUE iQ delivers the repeatability and realism today's training demands.

• Reduce human error. Automates belay management to remove variability in technique and reduce the potential for human error during training evolutions.
• Run more evolutions. Eliminates the need for a dedicated belayer and enables faster reset between drills — more repetitions per session, fewer staffing constraints.
• Build firefighter confidence. Repeatable, realistic training evolutions help firefighters develop the confidence and composure needed during real emergencies.
• Realistic training conditions. Consistent tension and slack management allow natural movement during elevated drills.
• Train at full height. Supports full-height evolutions with consistent slack management and controlled lowering.
• Instructor focus. Instructors stay on the trainee, not the belay rope.
