Quatron FX is categorised as a quadruple pulley, basically it’s two pulley systems in one. This is what makes rigging 100m line a breeze even for the loneliest slacker. Working on a new pulley system. Available soon!
Product description
Let’s dig into history a bit - Quatron FX is the very first quadruple pulley system developed solely for rigging the longlines. But trickliners have fallen in love with it too for tensioning a trickline longer than 20 m supertight and superquick.
Quatron FX is a pulley system designed for 8mm static rope that is light yet very strong and easy to work with. A special Elephant FX rope brake is mounted directly to the rear pulley leaving you in no need of a rigging plate or additional anchoring sling.
High-quality ball bearings are included; we’ve used 4 of those in each of Quatron’s pulley. That does indeed provide maximum tensioning efficiency (a single person can rig the line to 1 ton of tension) and increased safety due to force being spread on multiple parts of the system.
You can choose from a variety of rope lengths and multipliers, the table below will help you choose what’s most suitable for your needs.
Quatron FX is the slackline top-tier pulley system, a reliable system for professionals. Extreme efficiency, low weight, ball bearings, built-in rope brake, compact 8mm static rope. If you aim far and high, search no more. Quatron was designed, tested and made in the Czech Republic.

FAQ
In principle, Quatron FX is a dual pulley system using quadruple pulleys instead of double pulleys increasing its efficiency compared to standard pulleys. Its construction is what makes Quatron safer for long and tight lines.
Due to absent legal restrictions for slackline (and especially highline), there are currently no norms in place and thus all manufacturers including ourselves are obliged to clearly state that their products are uncertified for highline. Products with at least 30 kN MBS are however commonly used in highline but it is utterly important to get familiarised with all safety measurements and precautions, as well as having sufficient experience with tensioning.
