This invention is a gravity powered Dual Cable Zipline Trolley Transfer System comprising, a dual cable zipline trolley and dual cable zipline transfer unit which work in conjunction of each other. The trolley comprises tandem wheels that traverse over the dual cables and are pivoted in the center to allow the trolley to pass smoothly over the transfer unit, which is suspended on support structures. Unlike the traditional zipline which has a path between two stations, this system is designed to allow the participant to travel in a continuous uninterrupted path without the need to detach from one cable to another in order to sustain the journey beyond the station. The transfer unit is lengthened to create curves both horizontal and vertical. This invention eliminates the menacing sag in the cable that occurs over distance.

    Linvention est un mécanisme de transfert de chariot à tyrolienne à double câble comportant un chariot à tyrolienne à double câble et un module de transfert de tyrolienne à double câble qui fonctionnent de manière coopérative. Le chariot comprend des roues en tandem qui passent au-dessus des câbles doubles et qui pivotent au centre afin de permettre au chariot de passer doucement sur le module de transfert, qui est suspendu sur des structures dappui. Contrairement à la tyrolienne traditionnelle qui comporte un chemin entre deux stations, ce système est configuré pour permettre au participant de se déplacer sur un parcours ininterrompu continu sans avoir à se détacher dun câble et sattacher à un autre pour faire un déplacement au-delà de la station. Le module de transfert est rallongé pour créer des courbes, tant horizontales que verticales. Linvention élimine le relâchement menaçant que subit le câble sur la distance.
