A THROW CAGE THAT’S BUILT TO SURVIVE THE ELEMENTS
Thor 10 is World Athletics certified and suitable for top level competition. This cage proves to be easy to maintain and is built to last so you won’t be searching for a replacement cage.
THE CAGE YOU’LL WANT TO USE FOR YOUR SPORTING STADIUM
The Thor 10 is a four pole setup with steel poles on hinged base plates for easy installation, along with steel ground sleeves. The ground area has only the four support poles, offering great spectator visibility of the thrower during events.
Net height is set at 7m for the main perimeter of the cage and is held in place with retaining ropes all around the perimeter. Nets are set away from the structure to avoid any contact between the hammer and the poles. This negates rebound towards the thrower and reduces any chance of damage to the poles as well as the net. Gates are set 10m high and can be opened and closed independently with the gate ropes.
The Thor 10 has a Wind Rating to 100 km/h which means that the nets can be left in place during strong winds unlike many other cages. This reduces any manpower required to manage the cage and further reduces any cost involved.
Note: Thor10D is the throwing cage suitable for a double circle application.

The Thor 9 Hammer Throw Cage is a unique Patent Design #9,889,366 B2 that is set to change the future of Hammer Throw cages.
This efficient setup makes use of only 3 support poles leaving the ground area free from obstructions. This provides a clear view for spectators and also means the cage has minimal visual impact when not in use.
The 3 support poles are all on hinged base plates making installation even easier. The 7m high perimeter net is anchored with retaining ropes and is set away from the poles to reduce any chance of damage to the net and poles. The 9m high gates can be opened and closed easily with the gate ropes.
The Thor9 cage is much cheaper to maintain than other types of cages. This cage is wind rating to 100 km/h which means that the nets can be left in place during strong winds unlike many other cages. Not having to lower and re-raise the nets constantly reduces the manpower required to manage the cage and ultimately reduces any ongoing cost.
Thor9 is World Athletics Certified and is built for long term use.
