SafeSledge™
Classic Shown here with Ballast tank
The “Classic” is our entry Level model without any options making it more affordable. The primary function of the scrum trainer, is to give a safe 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. The base which has over 40 sq. ft of surface area, is easy on the pitch so it can be used on any game or practice field. Just add water barrels, players or our large capacity tank to load it down. When this platform is ballasted, it creates considerable resistance to being moved on the engagement and once it is in motion. Fully adjustable pad head assembly
The pads can adapt in width by 12” for any size scrummager and also in depth by 12” for setting the tighthead up, for the most realistic and powerful engagement possible for your scrum. Our sledge is a much safer version due to the engagement aid of the contact pad assembly. These pads are constructed of multi density foam that is very soft on initial contact and has a much stronger foundation layers 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. Safe engagement with an air cushion
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 absorbent, reducing the danger of compressive spinal injuries
