Tabless Aerial Hoop (NATA Destruction Certified Only)

Price range: $399.00 through $775.00 AUD Inc. GST

(2 customer reviews)

Unlike other aerial hoops, tabless aerial rings have no lifting tab or clip off point. Work with a sling above or a silky tissu set up. Be creative! Extend your aerial ring choreography to include movement above the ring inside a soft fabric loop.

These tabless aerial rings do not come with engineer certification. They have been tested to meet and exceed expected loads according to Performing Australia Guidelines (2018).

Description

Design Components

Tabless aerial rings have no lifting tab or clip off point. You can use a standard rigging sling, any of the Trix Circus lyra straps and cordes, or a silky ring rope to attach them to your rigging. Our solid aerial rings are made of 22mm stainless steel bar, our hollow aerial rings are made of 25mm stainless steel tube and our semi-solid aerial rings are made of 27mm stainless steel pipe.

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 yield a higher MBS (minimum breaking strain) due to these work hardening processes.

The NATA Destruction Certified 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.

    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!

    • Amanda Lynch

      Yay!
