MAXIMUM STRENGTH, MAXIMUM AFFORDABILITY
Prodigy Aerial have designed the PolySafe Shackle Trapeze to provide maximum strength and safety with a rope that is both flexible and comfortable to use. The Prodigy Aerial PolySafe Rope used on this trapeze is specially designed for Aerial acrobatics, it's super strong and much more affordable than cotton ropes.
The Aerial PolySafe Rope has a very comfortable squishy feel in hand and is comfortable to hock onto. The internal construction is the same as a polyester strop/spanset, so PolySafe Ropes have industrial strength and a unique polyester webbing cover that is hard-wearing, soft, and comfortable!
The PolySafe Ropes have no stretch ensuring the trapeze remains horizontal and stable like a steel-cored trapeze. However, unlike a steel-cored version, the rope is highly flexible, ensuring it is both comfortable to use and stable even wrapped and twisted.
The bar on these trapezes measures 62cm from end to end, 60cm from shackle to shackle, and has approx. 56cm between ropes.
MAXIMUM STRENGTH, MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
The Prodigy PolySafe Ropes are fixed to the trapeze bar with high-grade stainless steel (SS316), Prodigy Hex-Lock D shackles. These can be inspected, removed and replaced, and feature on other Prodigy Aerial props such as the Prodigy Multi-point Aerial Hoop.
Dyna-Core Hanging Ropes and other components are inter-compatible and can be used in different configurations. This modular feature of Prodigy Aerial equipment allows for greater flexibility when rigging.
The shackles have a low profile 6mm bar, and the hex head pin locks into place very neatly in an indentation on the shackle bar. This means it locks securely and with no protruding pin to get in the way. We recommend using a medium strength threadlock on the thread of the pin to eliminate any risk of vibrations loosening the pin.
These shackles have a WLL of 300KG (FOS 5:1).
MAXIMUM SAFETY, EASY TO INSPECT AND MAINTAIN
The Prodigy PolySafe Ropes are a dream to inspect! They only require regular and straightforward, external inspections (assuming normal use). More details on full inspections are included with the product.
The Prodigy PolySafe Shackle Trapeze is ideal for high use studios because it's so easy to maintain! The PolySafe Ropes can be removed, cleaned, and easily replaced.
The ability to thoroughly inspect every component and replace any part is a huge step forward in safety for a trapeze design. Trapeze boots on the elbows would need to be removed to take full advantage of this feature.
