I. Characteristics of KLD17-5/7-A
The safety cage for discus throwing is a modern construction made of high quality materials. Main characteristic
features of the cage are as follows:
1.
Innovative construction:
•
Net is hung in such a way that it does not touch the aluminium structure in any point.
•
Cage pillars are not linked with each other by means of inflexible elements, that is why they work
independently.
•
Application of anchors (instead of popular sockets) eliminates rusting caused by water penetration
in the lower parts of the cage.
2.
High durability:
•
Cage construction is made of aluminium which is anodized in silver colour.
•
All tube ends are protected with caps. They stop water from getting inside the construction and
provide good finish and appearance.
•
Steel elements are hot galvanized or electro-galvanized. All ratchet mechanism casings are
additionally coated with powder paint.
3.
High quality:
•
Cage is an IAAF certified product.
•
Cage complies with the IAAF rules 2020.
•
Cage is equipped with high quality, certified net.
•
Net is strained and fastened at the cage bottom by means of steel cable and hooks. That lets us
eliminate traditional bags filled with send.
4.
Easy operating:
•
Cage can be assembled and disassembled without using a crane or an extension arm. Assembly (or
disassembly) takes approximately 3
hours done by 3÷4 people.
•
Each pillar is equipped with the self-blocking mechanism of lifting and lowering the net by means of
crank.
We deliver the cage to a customer in partially assembled units. Assembly should be conducted according to this
manual. Since the enclosed instructional CD presents the discus and hammer throwing cage with two movable panels,
it should be only used as an general illustration of the installation process.
