Prodigy Polysafe Trapeze:

The Prodigy Polysafe Trapeze is an aerial apparatus designed to offer an excellent balance of comfort, modularity, and robustness. It is equipped with PolySafe ropes specifically designed for aerial practice, featuring a soft, comfortable grip and abrasion resistance. Its stainless steel shackle design allows for easy replacement of certain components and adapts the setup to suit the needs of the studio, school, or performance.

This model can be rigged with a single or double point setup, depending on your installation. Its mobile and lightweight structure offers a different feel compared to a classic trapeze, with greater freedom of movement.

NetJuggler's review of the Polysafe Prodigy Trapeze:

The Prodigy Polysafe Trapeze is designed for practitioners and organizations seeking a reliable, modern, and easy-to-maintain aerial trapeze. Its main advantage lies in its PolySafe ropes: they offer excellent grip, remain comfortable in the hand, and withstand intensive use. The shackle system also provides a truly modular dimension, convenient for maintenance or part replacement. On the other hand, this type of setup is slightly less comfortable on the elbows than a more traditional trapeze, and its mobility may require a short adjustment period for those accustomed to a more rigid setup.

Particularly suitable for studios, circus schools and places of intensive practice thanks to its simplified maintenance.
Ideal for aerial trapeze in a single point setup such as dance trapeze, as well as for a more classic double point setup.
Interesting for artists looking for a modular apparatus, with a lightweight bar and more mobile movements on the ropes.

Information about the manufacturer Prodigy:

Prodigy develops aerial equipment designed in the UK, with a focus on modularity, safety, and durability. The brand offers compatible rigs and components designed for schools, studios, and artists who want technical equipment that is reliable and easy to maintain over time.

Assembly and configuration:

The Prodigy Polysafe Trapeze can be set up in two ways. In a single-point setup , both ropes join at the same top anchor point to form a dance trapeze configuration. In this case, the use of a rigging plate or a delta link is recommended to avoid triple-loading a single carabiner. In a double-point setup , each side is attached separately, which remains the most common method for maximizing clearance above the bar. On a freestanding frame, the included carabiners can be connected to suitable slings. If only one anchor point is available, an overhead spreader bar can be used to create a two-point setup.

Warning : This trapeze must be installed, inspected, and used by a qualified person. Never exceed the manufacturer's specified working load limit (WLL). Regularly check the condition of the ropes, bar, stitching, carabiners, and shackles. The threadlocker originally applied to the shackles must be replaced as part of routine maintenance. Particular care is recommended with the shackles, where small fingers can become trapped.

Usage and maintenance advice:

The main advantage of this model lies in its simple maintenance. The PolySafe ropes can be removed, cleaned, and replaced more easily than on some traditional trapezes. This modularity makes it a particularly suitable solution for facilities with many users. If you are switching from a classic trapeze to this model, plan a few adaptation sessions to get used to its mobility and the freer feel of the bar.
