Description
Design Components
Unlike other aerial hoops, tabless aerial rings have no lifting tab or clip off point. You can use a standard sling or a silk sling to attach them to your rigging. Our solid aerial rings are made of 22mm stainless steel bar, and our hollow aerial rings are made of 25mm stainless steel tube.
We use both the results derived from the engineer certification and the NATA destruction tests to create the ratings for these hoops, always being cautious with our recommendations. The ratings below are from a theoretical analysis and do not account for the work hardening processes (EN1993-1-4 Annex B). NATA destruction testing has proven the hoops (in particular the hollow) yield a higher MBS (minimum breaking strain) due to these work hardening processes.
The NATA destruction tested only hoops meet and exceed the requirements stated in Live Performance Australia Guidelines: Safety Guidelines for the Live Entertainment and Events Industries: Event Rigging Hazard Guide (Feb 2018, p. 16).
All hoops sold as NATA Destruction Certified Only (as are the ones available on this webpage) are NOT Engineer Certified. If you’d like to know more about the difference between the types of hoop and certification, please read our blog here.

The above ratings are from the certification process and may not take into account the effect of work hardening from fabrication.
*User loads must take into account dynamic forces applied.
We use INSIDE DIAMETER as our measurement. The standard sizes are 75cm (kids), 85cm, 90cm, 95cm or custom. Sizes over 95cm are only available in SOLID material.
Trix Circus aerial rings arrive clean, untaped and ready for you to personalise it as you desire. Our tabless rings are sold without rigging. We suggest that you browse our aerial accessories and rigging catalogues to find the slings or silky extensions and hardware that you desire.

Love my hoop from Trix! I’m about 157cm tall and the 90cm hoop is the right size for me. The solid hoop is great for spins and the 22mm diameter is perfect for my grip. Thank you Trix for such great quality product!
