Allen Keyball Trapeze System - Narrow

Allen Keyball Trapeze System - With Narrow Backing Plate - Includes 2 x Handles

For many years the development team at Allen were keen to design a trapeze system that improves the safety of the sport and reduces the risk of entrapment by the traditional hook-on trapeze harness.

Designer Julian Bethwaite had also been thinking along the same lines and had produced a prototype of the keyball trapeze system. In conjunction with Bethwaite Design, Allen have developed the concept into a sleek and innovative design, eliminating the hook altogether and creating a safe intuitive solution that really works.

The ball and guide is manufactured from solid aluminium in three parts:-

A solid aluminium guide with an integral rope-friendly thimble for attachment to the wire via a height adjustable rope.
A flexible section joining the ball to the guide enabling articulation
A solid aluminium ball for smooth and secure location
The buckle is manufactured from two parts and bolted securely together:-
A 3D moulded keyhole with a wide opening guides the ball securely into place when trapezing whilst easily releasing when required.
A stainless steel back-plate in narrow format allow for easy changing to suit different designs of harness.

Maximum webbing size 44mm
