Ropes Courses
Highgate designs and installs a full range of facilities on high, low and multi level ropes courses using either treated wooden poles or steel for the frame work. These ropes courses offer leadership, teamwork, communication, diversity and risk training for individuals and teams in a safe and contained environment without requiring special athletic ability or physical prowess. Ropes courses can include any number of activities from Cargo nets, Postman’s Walk, Tension Traverse, V Traverse, Sumo Buoys, Wobbly Logs, Multi Vine etc.
All our structures are designed and engineered to comply with all Australian industry standards and regulations.
Highgate can also incorporate an Expoglider continuous belay system into your ropes course design.
- The Expoglider® is a unique fall protection system developed over years for the challenge rope course industry
- The Expoglider® system was designed with the concept of producing a modular product that can be mounted in an easy and cost effective way on new and existing buildings and poles, both indoors and outdoors
- The Expoglider® is a continuous belay system that allows the user to pass from element to element, and even other participants, without having to ever unclick from the safety belay cable
- The participant cannot disengage from the system therefore greatly reducing the number of facilitators required
- The design of the Expoglider® makes it possible for the shuttle to easily slide over profiles
- The safe-lock system prevents the Expoglider® shuttle from being detached without first removing the carabiner
- The Expoglider® meets EN15567-1, the European Standard for the operation and management of ropes courses. The shuttle is accepted as Personal Protection Equipment.
