Add-on
Items Required for some "unconventional" facilities:
[top]
Upgrade
to 1 HP Winch:
Stronger
winch required for tandem cages or if using extremely
heavy net.
Return
Pulley System:
This
system is used mainly in a facility where the size of
the cage is close to the same length as the area the cage
would be positioned, or obstructions hinder installation.
The Return-Pull system pulls a series of cables in two
separate directions, allowing a 70’ long cage to
be installed in a facility as long as 75’.
Beam
Brackets / Clamps:
Required
when joists are not Angle-Iron with gap between, which
is used to thread bolts to support pulleys. Custom clamps
fabricated to grip beams to support pulley lift points.
Used in lieu of drilling into overhead truss structures.
Ceiling
Brackets / Clamps:
If
beams are not on the correct centers required for supporting
the pulleys at the necessary width, we can fabricate custom
brackets to step the center drop-points over to 12'W (for
a 14'W cage). If distance is too great, Strand System
below is required.
Strand
Mounting System:
Required
when there is not access to sufficient number of mounting
points for pulleys. Typically a result of obstructions
below trusses which would be in pathway of cables, or
if spacing of trusses is greater than 14'W, or between
8'-10' on-center (for a 14'W system -- 12'W or other dimensions
have different requirements).
Hardware
components include a very taut cable system called "strand",
steel wall mounting plates, and strand support tubing
which provides the additional support structure necessary
to stabilize the system.
Steel
Tube Extensions for Pulleys:
Required
to work around obstructions in ceiling which hang below
joists in area of batting cage. Custom steel tubes which
anchor into joists / beams & extend pulleys beyond
obstructions to allow for clear cable path.
Winch
Tube Mount:
Creates
an adjustable & stable mounting point for the winch.
Can be mounted to trusses or a block/concrete wall or
headers. Allows for winch to be mounted around tube, which
can then be swiveled as needed to adjust cable line, to
avoid issues such as tangling which may occur if the cable
isn't in a perfectly straight line with the pulleys. The
mounting flange is also adjustable up to 3-4", which
creates a versatile winch mount without going through
the trouble of drilling & re-drilling multiple times
to get everything lined up just right. Our seasoned crew
even uses this winch mounting tube during installation,
which makes installation go MUCH smoother. *If client
prefers to custom fabricate tube on site, this can be
omitted

Drive-Pipe
System:
Required
when obstructions hang below beams in area of batting
cage, or there aren't mounting points for winch &
return-pulley. Used in lieu of numerous fabricated tube
extensions & extra cables/pulleys to work-around obstructions
in path-way of cage.
Consists
of 2-3/8" Schedule-10 Black Tube running length of
batting cage, and is supported by a 1/4” laser cut
bracket with (3) phenolic wheels on which the drive shaft
rotates. The cage is lifted by 1/8” galvanized aircraft
cable. The cables wind up on individual reels located
on the drive shaft at each lift point on frame of cage.
More
versatile & stronger system which interacts with winch
& pulleys - keeps everything in controlled area directly
over cage, instead of requiring cables to run length of
facility. Can also handle un-even weight distribution
on cage, i.e. basic system requires net to be wrapped
on top of frame evenly -- drive-pipe system can handle
100 lbs on one side, and 10 lbs on opposite side, and
cage will still retract straight & evenly.
A
Drive-Pipe Winch System can virtually be installed in
any location, and STILL RETRACT YOUR BATTING CAGE. i.e.
it could be installed several feet below and off to the
side of the height of your pulleys, whereas a standard
winch operated system requires the winch to essentially
be in-line with the pulleys. Does NOT need to be installed
over the cage like our competition, which limits the cage
elevation height when stored. Our cage can raise within
12-18" on a flat plane of the lowest hanging structure.
Drive-pipe
System weighs approximately 2 lbs / linear ft.

Winch
Curtain Lock with Bracket (CL1000):
Safety
mechanism for winch, keeping cage secure regardless of
conditions. Highly recommend for tandem or very long cages
- or when cage is retracted very highly or positioned
over spectators or players. Includes custom laser-cut
bracket to make curtain-lock compatible with facility.

-
Lightweight unit, only 68 pounds/30.84
kilograms.
- Attached
to solid wall or ceiling truss in 9 different
points, and uses vibration-proof Nylon bolts which
will not come loose during usage.
-
A powerful, instantly reversing 3/4 HP motor is
governed to stall at 14 amps to prevent overload.
It develops over 1,000 pounds/453.51 kilograms
of line pull at a speed of 9 feet/2.74 meters
per minute.
- The
average amp-draw is 9.8 Amps, which means it can
utilize a standard "lighting" circuit.
-
A large grooved drum, with a 4 1/2 inch/11.42
centimeter diameter, assures long cable life and
proper coiling.
-
A hardened steel worm gear is supported for both
radial and thrust loads, unlike winches that use
an unsupported high-speed gear that can create
a great strain on the motor, shortening its life.
-
Positive locking, the double reduction worm gear
drive provides a 200:1 reduction rate that creates
a strong cable hold under load. This eliminates
the need for special brakes that can overload
the motor, causing it to generate excessive heat
and shorten its life.
-
Sealed gear case uses precision ground bearings
and premium seals for superior performance and
a lifetime of maintenance-free operation.
-
Can be mounted in any position for flexibility
during installation.
-
Extensive Life Cycle testing assures high quality
and long life.
-
UL Listed.
-
1/4" aircraft cable wraps at 5.25 per minute.
- Motor
has reversing feature to prevent motor burnout.
- Rotary
type limit switch located in the 110 volt circuit
stops hoist in raised or lowered positions for
accurate positioning.
Limited
Warranty: 5 year
Shipping
weight: 68 lbs.
*Remote
optional - includes 1 transmitter &
1 receiver. Transmitter remote pad can control multiple
winch systems in the same gym, i.e. enter code for
winch #1 to operate batting cage nets, enter code
for winch #2 to operate basketball hoops etc.
