These innovative assets provide greater safety for the thrower and spectators.
- Only 3 main poles instead of the standard 8-10 pole uprights.
- The lightweight aluminium 3 pole superstructure are assembled on the ground and raised by an ‘easy motion’ hand winch pulley (provided). No heavy machinery required – Saving costs and not disrupting the track surface
- Erected and dismantled by only 2 people in a 6-hour time frame – including netting – without a crane.
- Nets can remain erected longer for greater usability for the athlete training 24/7, 365
- Fewer implement strikes, with the superstructure skeleton positioned safely away from the netting
- 100kph wind rating (with net up)
- Great vision for spectators and media
- The athletes do not feel claustrophobic/inhibited
- World Athletics Certified
- Engineer Certified
- Choice of 12 colours
All of the implements that are thrown at athletics training sessions and during competitions have the potential to be lethal weapons if their use is not properly managed and supervised at all times.
