Press Up Polecat R&D Update...

As shown on Instagram we’ve been testing a Press Up Polecat in our studio & we think that it’s up to the job subject to a few conditions - the ceiling height at the studio is +3m so it’s actually an extreme when compared to most other ceilings, which will be lower, & means that the spreader plate would be more secure as the unit would have a safer tilting angle when tensioned to the same degree.

We do still recommend a mechanical fixing to the ceiling for the Polecat over this Press Up version so this type of install would only get used in situations where there is basically no other option & it will need more safety checks than the standard install - unfortunately, the two piece design that we have also been testing on the same unit isn’t a runner so we still won’t be offering a two piece Polecat for the time being.
