Designed for Competition & Training Facilities
The KLM-7/10-A has been developed for facilities requiring a professional throwing cage suitable for both competition and high-level training.
Its aluminium construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion while reducing the weight of the overall structure. This makes installation and maintenance considerably easier than traditional heavy steel cage systems.
The stainless-steel lifting and tensioning components are designed for reliability and straightforward day-to-day operation.
Safety Net & Tensioning System
The certified net is supported by a specialised tensioning system incorporating side arms, stainless-steel wires and hooks.
This maintains the correct net shape and tension while allowing sufficient elasticity to safely absorb the impact energy generated by hammer and discus throws.
The self-locking crank mechanisms allow the net to be raised and lowered safely and efficiently.
