Product Overview
Aerial Helix Portable Spiral – Length, Deflection & Clearance
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
The Aerial Helix Portable Spiral is designed to flex and extend under load. The amount the Helix increases in length will depend on the number of sections fitted and the weight applied.
You must ensure that you have sufficient height and ground clearance for the Helix itself, its expected deflection under load and all additional rigging equipment.

⚠️ Safety First
1. Please ensure that, when using the Aerial Helix, you take adequate safety precautions, including the correct crash mats, etc.
2. Regularly check the equipment and ensure that the joints are inspected.
3. We recommend that the Aerial Helix be dismantled after every time it is used. Note: Not doing this could cause the joints to become tight, making them difficult to separate.
4. Ensure the joints are wiped clean and add a small amount fine oil, which is supplied with your Aerial Helix.
