The THOR 10 benefits:
- Cost saving
With only 4 main poles instead of the standard 8-10 pole uprights, there is less build cost and ground disturbance to the track infield during cage installation.
The lightweight aluminium 4 pole superstructure is assembled on the ground and raised easily by an ‘easy motion’ hand winch pulley (provided). There are no additional costs for hiring heavy machinery required to lift superstructure into place
Easily erected and dismantled by only 2 people in a 6-hour time frame – including netting – without a crane. Minimal labour time required
- Available to train 24/7, 365
Nets can remain erected longer for greater usability for the athlete training
Thor can withstand 74mph winds (with net up)
- Athlete Safety
Fewer implement strikes, with the superstructure skeleton positioned safely away from the netting
The athletes do not feel claustrophobic/inhibited
- Media friendly
Great vision for spectators and media/or live online broadcasts
- Certifications
Meets NCAA and IAAF Specifications. IAAF Certified. Engineer Certified
