SafeSledgeTM Trainer
ScrumMaster's version of the ever-popular scrum sled is improved by the use of pneumatic cushioning and superior materials. The specially designed pads aid in the alignment of the players head and also protect players' shoulders from injury that can occur upon impact. The SafeSledge can be upgraded to supply pressure readings and/or with a Lift & Shift option allows the machine to be moved to a secure storage area or to different areas of the practice pitch.

Why it is called a SafeSledgeTM
The Scrummaster SafeSledgeTM is our entry level scrummage trainer. It is based on the
traditional style of scrum sleds from the past. Our version is highly engineered
to ensure maximum safety, while providing realistic training.
The primary function of the scrum trainer, is to give a resistant platform that allows
a group of eight players to practice techniques with stable controlled movement.
As in previous sledges, it relies on the friction of moving a large mass across the
field to resist the movement of the scrum. This weight, over 1000kg, is provided
by the use of a plastic bladder which can be filled to a desired level. The ballast
tank sits atop of a large aluminum base, which has over 32 ft2 of surface
area. When this platform is ballasted, it creates considerable resistance to being
moved on the engagement and once it is in motion.
Our sledge is a much safer version due to the engagement aid of the contact pad assembly.
These pads are constructed of dual density foam that is very soft on initial contact
and has a much stronger foundation layer that protects the pressure points on the
player's shoulders.
Once the player's heads and shoulders have been guided to the proper position and
pressure is being transmitted through the assembly, the energy is then absorbed by
the air spring. The advantage of using an air spring is, when you first push it,
it compresses easily, and the harder you push it, the harder it resists. This means
that even if the trainer does not move, it allows for a cushioned platform that is
always compressible, reducing the danger of spinal injuries.
The SafeSledgeTM
trainer has been designed with attention to safety and has proven over time to be
one of the most functional trainer regardless of price. This sledge is the safest
entry-level trainer available in the world market today and works well for the absolute
novice to the national level player
