Tight wire balancing apparatus : Self-standing wire on an autonomous frame.
Our free-standing tight wires are an effective, aesthetic, and innovative solution that eliminates the need to install stakes or find suitable anchors.
Our range of wires offers a modular, demountable and practical design that allows you to adjust their height and length.
For demanding users, this rigid and technical design offers excellent acrobatic sensations.
Due to their practicality, self-standing tight wires have become standard in the circus arts sector, whether for amateurs, schools, or professionals.
The Self Standing tight wire is easy to assemble. It can be installed by a single person. You will only need two 19 Hex Key.
Its great strength and stability are ensured by its triangular shape and high-quality supports.
The round feet pads (100 mm) spaced 1.20 m apart ensure good stability on the ground with excellent anti-slip properties.
Our unique design of these self-standing wires provides good overall elasticity, particularly when using a spring.
The pulleys located under the top plates return the main wire downwards and prevent gaps between the plate and the cable. The presence of the hoist and spring in a vertical position at the ends of the apparatus allows for easy adjustment, a more aesthetic appearance and better overall performance under the effect of the spring (optional).
Practical, easy-to-use pins enable quick assembly with minimal use of tools.
The lowered central beam (0.48 m) provides more space for practice, greater safety and an attractive appearance.
The modular design, with a maximum number of common parts, allows for different versions to be created by purchasing only a few additional parts.
If you wish to convert your free-standing tight wire to a different height configuration, you will only need to replace the two masts and their lateral struts bars. Similarly, to change the length, you will simply need to replace the central element of the main beam and the opposite cable.
Finally, thanks to their quality and the demand in the sector, these apparatuses are easy to resell and maintain excellent value over time. A low-risk investment with unparalleled versatility.
Designed for acrobatic activities, this freestanding wire is suitable for dynamic tightrope walking, both at amateur and professional levels.
The optional compression spring adds dynamic deformation to the wire and gives you more vertical travel when jumping and landing during high-performance acrobatic tricks.
The foot plates adapt well to all floors and leave a gap that allows you to fit a 5 cm x 100 cm wide safety mat. They are equipped with non-slip rubber pads that are easily replaceable if necessary.
These self-supporting frame-shaped structures operate on the principle of two cables stretched in opposition on either side of a compressed central beam. The maximum initial tension of the upper cable (walking cable) is 1000 kg (1 t). This can be slightly exceeded during jumps and dynamic actions to accommodate peak loads in the cable of up to 1250 kg.
During our tests, the systems were tensioned to 1800 kg without any damage or permanent deformation.
The self-standing thight wire is equipped with a genuine wire rope for tightrope walkers:
* Non-rotating construction
* Diameter: 12.7 mm
* Reinforced end thimbles
* WLL: 1000 kg
* Ungreased finish
Several versions are available in this category.
Our models are modular:
* Height: 1.10 m, 1.50 m and 1.80 m
- by replacing the masts and side struts
* Length: 5.00 and 6.00 m
- generally by replacing the central section of the beam and the opposite cable only
- the walkway cables are identical for the 5 and 6 m versions (except for the H110L5, whose cable is 30 cm shorter)
For other heights or lengths, please contact us.
These items have several options located at the bottom of each product sheet and in the same general category.
The top platform (or plate) is round and large (> 450 mm), providing a safe space for beginners.
It is easily customizable, replaceable, and removable with four screws bolted to the metal base, so you can replace it with a model of your choice if necessary.
Access to the platform is facilitated by the presence of small steps located on the mast.
If additional stability is required for the person on the platform, an optional support stick is available. It attaches to the steel head and offers a useful height of 1.05 m.
This product remains dangerous equipment used in acrobatic environments, which are themselves risky. It is essential that it be operated by competent and experienced personnel who are aware of the stresses created in the systems and who have read the operating instructions before any assembly.
This self-standing tight wire remains easy to transport since no part is very bulky.
A complete kit, even the largest, can easily be transported in a compact car.
The longest piece measures only 1.76 m.
This equipment is available with the following options:
* Compression spring for greater acrobatic dynamics
* Round support stick to be placed on the right or left of each platform (4 possible positions)
* Walking wires with different characteristics
* Custom heights made using tubes of dimensions adapted to your needs (contact us)
Our spare parts can generally be purchased separately:
* Pins, cables, heads, platforms, masts + struts, central beam, rubber foot pads, turnbuckle, lever hoist, stick, etc.
This product comes with a user manual, assembly instructions and a CE certificate in French and English.
