Our 10m High Hammer Cage that you’ll want to use for your Sporting Stadium
United States (of America) Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) – Patent #9,889,366 B2
Why are the NEXT GENERATION CAGES a major leap forward in cage design?
Venue operators and club officials all complain about the misgivings of their throwing cage equipment. It’s either in disrepair, no longer compliant, damaged or is just difficult and labour intensive to operate. Features incorporated in the design of Thor 9 and Thor 10 hammer plus Apollo discus cages provide a better customer experience all round.
The Thor 10 is a four pole setup with steel poles on hinged base plates for easy installation, along with steel ground sleeves. The ground area has only the four support poles, offering great spectator visibility of the thrower during events.
Net height is set at 7m for the main perimeter of the cage and is held in place with retaining ropes all around the perimeter. Nets are set away from the structure to avoid any contact between the hammer and the poles. This negates rebound towards the thrower and reduces any chance of damage to the poles as well as the net. Gates are set 10m high and can be opened and closed independently with the gate ropes.
The Thor 10 has a Wind Rating to 100 km/h which means that the nets can be left in place during strong winds unlike many other cages. This reduces any manpower required to manage the cage and further reduces any cost involved.
Note: Thor10D is the throwing cage suitable for a double circle application.
