Play Distribution Bar:

The Play Spreader Bar allows you to space the two suspension lines of an aerial apparatus from a single point of suspension. This spreader bar is designed specifically for dance trapezes and aerial hammocks . It maintains a separation between the ropes or the ends of the hammock, depending on the chosen attachment configuration.

Two center-to-center distances are available: 65 cm between inner points or 75 cm between outer points . The spacing is selected using the corresponding pair of points.

NetJuggler's review of the Play Distribution Bar:

The two available spacings allow you to adapt the suspension cable spacing to the apparatus being used. The matte black finish remains discreet on stage, while the included bag facilitates storage and transport of the kit. This bar is a rigging component: the compatibility of the connectors, straps, apparatus, and suspension point must be verified for each installation.

Optional complementary products:

Depending on your installation, connectors, an anchor plate, or a swivel may be required. Browse our selection of accessories and fasteners for aerial equipment . The choice of these components must take into account their compatibility and the requirements of the entire assembly.

Also check out our range of aerial circus equipment to complete your gear.

Installation safety : Have the assembly checked by a qualified aerial rigger before use. The breaking strength of the shackles does not determine the overall permissible load. Follow the component instructions and confirm the operating limits of the assembly. Before each session, check the bar, shackles, straps, and connectors. Do not use any component that shows signs of deformation, cracking, or suspicious wear.

How to choose between center distances of 65 and 75 cm?

The inner anchor points have a spacing of 65 cm; the outer anchor points have a spacing of 75 cm. Choose the pair that corresponds to the spacing required for your apparatus, then have the complete setup checked. These measurements refer to the distance between the anchor points, not the total length of the bar.
