Prodigy Dyna-Core Shackle Extended Trapeze
This extended trapeze from Prodigy Aerial combines the versatile shackle style with modern Dyna-Core ropes, which feature minimal stretch and no bounce.
The bar on these trapezes measure 92cm from end to end, 62cm from shackle to shackle, and has 59cm between ropes.
UK made, tested, and certified trapezes.
MAXIMUM STRENGTH, Built for two
Prodigy Aerial have designed the Dyna-Core Classic Trapeze to provide maximum strength and safety with a rope that is both flexible and comfortable to use!
The Dyna-Core rope is a super strong 4mm diameter, 12-strand synthetic Dyneema core enclosed by a 4-strand natural cotton rope.
The outer cotton rope is selectively sourced in the EU from a reputable manufacturer, ensuring consistency.
The cotton component has a 24 kN Minimum Breaking Strain (MBS).
Expert splicing at the top and bottom of the ropes make the terminations incredibly strong.
The core has a 1500kg MBS and provides additional strength and durability.
✔ Modular – change the ropes or bar.
✔ Movability – the trapeze movements are more compliant and mobile.
✔ Lighter bar - using the ropes for moves feels better.
✔ Beating feels better with a lighter bar!
✔ Recommended for experienced Aerialists and Doubles!
X Not as comfortable at the elbows compared to a classic style trapeze.
X Be aware of small fingers' potential to get caught in the shackle area.
X Harder to dress than a classic style trapeze.
X If you're used to a classic trapeze, take time to get used to the
increased mobility before trying new moves.
The Dyna-Core rope features no stretch and no bounce, ensuring the trapeze remains horizontal and stable like a steel-cored trapeze.
A trapeze with no bounce will not cushion the impact from any drops. This is perfect for most doubles acts, where you are less likely to need bounce in the ropes!
Designed for doubles, this extended trapeze has an extra 15cm of the bar at either end.
The bar is lighter than a classic style extended trapeze, weighing only 1,556g!
The light bar is better for beating and shackles change the way the trapeze moves, making it more compliant and mobile, compared to a classic style.
MAXIMUM STRENGTH, MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
The Prodigy Dyna-Core ropes are fixed to the trapeze bar with high-grade stainless steel (SS316), Prodigy Hex-Lock D shackles. These can be easily inspected, removed, and feature on other Prodigy props such as the Multi-Point Shackle Hoops.
Ropes and other components are inter-compatible and can be used in several different configurations. This modular feature of Prodigy Aerial equipment allows for greater flexibility when rigging.
NOTE: A pair of longer custom-length ropes are available but become considerably more expensive the longer they are, due to manufacturing and material costs.
The shackles have a low profile 6mm bar, and the hex head pin locks into place very neatly in an indentation on the shackle bar.
This means it locks securely and with no protruding pin to get in the way. We recommend using a medium-strength threadlock on the thread of the pin to eliminate any risk of vibrations loosening the pin.
These shackles have a WLL of 300KG (FOS 5:1).
EASY TO INSPECT, EASY TO Maintain
The Prodigy Dyna-Core ropes are a dream to inspect as the cotton rope can be untwisted, exposing the Dyneema core and splicing to the thimbles.
The ability to thoroughly inspect every component in the system and replace any part is a huge step forward in safety for a trapeze design. Trapeze boots on the elbows would need to be removed to take full advantage of this feature.
Prodigy Aerial use a very high-quality rope with a very tight lay which mitigates most of the problems that can occur with a softer rope, and the Dyneema core is much less prone to the issues that arise with steel cored trapezes.

Aerial acrobatics products have a different returns policy from the rest of our catalogue.
Please make sure you are familiar with this before buying.
You can find information on rigging here, and general aerial safety information is here.
IMPORTANT NOTE…
Everything above assumes you have a suitable and safe rigging point, like a professionally installed rigging point or a reputable and rated freestanding rig.
Not every home/studio will be the same, so we cannot advise on this part.
If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer/experienced rigger/professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.
