Mobile climbing walls can be transported to various locations either in sections or on a hydraulic lift mounted on a truck. They are popular at events and some home walls can be disassembled for transport. Truck-mounted walls are the most common and have climbing holds and anchors for safety.
A mobile climbing wall is a type of rock climbing surface that can be transported to a variety of locations, either by breaking the mobile wall into sections and transporting it in boxes, or by mounting the one-piece unit on a hydraulic lift that is in turn mounted on a large truck. The latter design allows the user to set up the mobile climbing wall anywhere with enough space for the trolley and the wall, and the set up and take down processes are quick and easy. Such walls are popular at celebrations or major events such as carnivals and festivals.
Some walls designed for home use may be constructed in such a way that the entire structure can be easily disassembled for transport to a new location if necessary, essentially making this type of wall a mobile climbing wall. The wall in this case is usually made of prefabricated panels that can be fixed or removed quickly and easily with the right tools; this design is not as quick and easy as other designs, but it does allow for a wall to be transported in case a homeowner moves to another house and wants to take the wall with them to the new location.
The most common mobile climbing wall is the truck-mounted version. These walls are usually built on a steel frame mounted on a hydraulic lift, which in turn is mounted on the back of a flatbed truck or similar vehicle. Some versions of mobile climbing walls are instead built on a trailer that can be towed by a large pickup truck or similar vehicle, and the trailer can be released from the truck once the wall has been set up. This reduces the amount of space the wall and truck take up, as the truck can be parked off site instead of supporting the wall in situ.
All mobile climbing walls have holes through which climbing holds can be attached. The climbing route pattern can be easily changed by moving the holds to different holds on the wall, which allows the owner or user of the wall to customize different routes for climbers of different skill levels. The top of the wall has climbing anchors through which ropes can be passed; this allows a person to secure the climber to the wall, or to support the other end of the rope in case the climber falls.
