Vertical Structure: Extruded Aluminum Architecture
The "skeleton" of the Steady model is manufactured entirely from 6063 Architectural Grade Aluminum, selected for its excellent mechanical response and premium surface finish.
1. Structural Integrity through Extrusion
High-Precision Profiling: Unlike simple tubular structures, the use of extruded aluminum allows for the design of specific internal geometries that maximize rigidity without adding unnecessary weight.
Seamless Design (Absence of Welds): The design completely dispenses with welded joints. Welds are critical points where the material undergoes thermal alteration, creating zones of potential fracture or corrosion. By eliminating welding, we guarantee a homogeneous structure and impeccable aesthetics.
2. Bottom Anchoring System and Modularity
Mechanical Fastening via Bolted Hardware: The stabilizer (foot) integrates with the vertical upright through a bottom-mounted anchoring system using high-strength stainless steel hardware.
Advantages of Mechanical Assembly:
Simplified Maintenance: Allows for the individual replacement of components in case of accidental damage, without needing to replace the entire jump.
Dynamic Stability: The threaded anchoring provides a rigid union that absorbs vibrations better than a rigid weld, preventing material creaking over time.
Efficient Logistics: Facilitates total disassembly for long-range shipping or compact storage.
3. Finish and Chemical Resistance
Corrosion Resistance: 6063 Aluminum naturally generates a protective oxide layer, making it ideal for outdoor use, resisting humidity and salt spray without the need for additional coatings that might chip with use.
Integrated Height Guide: The internal face of the aluminum profile allows for the smooth sliding of the cup support, ensuring that height adjustment is fast and precise.
SOFT COVERS
The union between the HDPVC panel and the 6063 Aluminum upright incorporates a system of technical covers called Soft Covers. This component is not merely aesthetic; it plays a critical role in injury prevention
1. Elimination of Shear Points
Joint Shielding: Flexible polymer sleeves seal the transition between the metal and the rigid panel. This prevents gaps or crevices where a dog’s coat, or even a nail during a compromised lateral jump, could get trapped.
Edge Impact Absorption: The Soft Cover acts as an elastic bumper at the jump's stiffest point, dissipating kinetic energy in the event of a direct collision by the team against the vertical upright.
2. High-Resistance Thermoplastic Material
Elastomeric Composition: Manufactured from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compound or high-density industrial silicone, these parts maintain their flexibility in both freezing climates (preventing them from becoming brittle) and high temperatures.
Tear Resistance: The material is engineered to withstand constant friction and assembly/disassembly without deforming, maintaining a watertight fit over the structure.
3. Operator Ergonomics (Judge/Handler)
Safe Contact Surface: When handling the jump for relocation on the track, the Soft Covers provide a smooth contact zone that prevents accidental cuts from the panel edges or the aluminum profile, enhancing the logistical user experience.
Ergonomic Opening with Constant Radius Profile – Comfortable and Secure Grip
Transverse Stabilization System
High-Inertia Support Base
The base of the Steady model has been redesigned to offer superior static stability, ensuring the obstacle maintains its verticality even on uneven surfaces or in crosswind conditions.
1. Inverted "T" Stabilizing Geometry
Load Distribution: The use of a transverse T-profile maximizes the jump's support polygon. This geometry ensures the center of gravity remains low and centered, absorbing ground vibrations without residual displacement.
Reinforced Aluminum Profiling: Manufactured from the same 6063 Architectural Grade Aluminum as the upright, combining lightweight transportability with absolute structural rigidity.
2. Mechanical Assembly via Bolted Hardware
Weld-Free Architecture: In the final design, the joint between the foot and the vertical post is achieved through bottom-mounted mechanical fastening (stainless steel bolts).
Advantages of Bolted vs. Welded Joints:
Fatigue Resistance: Welds can crystallize and fracture under repeated impacts; bolted hardware allows for controlled micro-flexion that extends the overall service life.
Maintenance and Repair: Enables the independent replacement of the base in case of accidental deformation, without the need to discard the vertical assembly.
3. Contact Grip and Surface Protection
Elastomeric End Caps (Rubber Caps): The ends of the base incorporate high-friction rubber caps. These components serve a dual purpose:
Anti-Slip: Maximum grip on artificial turf, sand tracks, or technical indoor flooring.
Protection: They prevent scratches on delicate surfaces and eliminate metallic noise during contact with the ground.
Height Adjustment System
High-Precision Sliding Carriage

The Steady model incorporates a height management system designed for on-track operational agility and the dog’s mechanical safety.
1. Linear Sliding Mechanism
Profile-Integrated Guide: The cup support moves through an internal rail machined directly into the 6063 aluminum upright. This captive guide design eliminates lateral play and ensures fluid, jam-free vertical movement.
Friction Lock / Rapid Positioning: The system allows for millimetric adjustment, ensuring the bar remains perfectly level at both ends of the jump.
2. Quick-Release Safety Support (Bar Cup)
Open-Geometry Support Cradle: The support piece is designed with a specific curvature that holds the bar firmly against vibrations or wind, yet allows for an instant release upon the slightest impact from the dog (strictly complying with FCI regulations).
Anti-Wear Engineering Polymer: Manufactured from a high-impact thermoplastic compound, the supports withstand thousands of adjustment cycles and bar drops without showing deformation or color fading.
3. Screen-Printed Measurement Scale (Visual Guide)
Direct Height Reading: The aluminum upright features a engraved numerical scale (range from 10 cm to 65 cm). This scale allows judges or ring party staff to perform height changes in seconds with competition-grade precision, eliminating manual measurement errors.
Erosion Resistance: Being integrated or engraved into the metal chassis, the numbering resists high-pressure cleaning, constant support friction, and UV radiation without degrading.
Comprehensive Maintenance & Spare Parts System
Technical Breakdown & Selective Replacement
Component Interconnectivity: By utilizing mechanical fasteners (stainless steel bolts and hardware) instead of permanent joints, every element of the jump remains independent.
Targeted Repair: In the event of a critical impact or extreme wear, the user can replace only the affected part (whether it be an HDPVC panel, an aluminum upright, or a stabilizing base) without the need to purchase a complete jump unit.
Advantages of the Knock-Down Design
Optimized Storage: The ability to disassemble the base and panels allows for flat-pack storage. This is the ideal solution for competitions that require transporting large volumes of equipment in limited space.
Sustainability and Circular Economy: By enabling part-by-part repair, Galican reduces industrial waste and offers a more cost-effective and eco-friendly maintenance solution for high-traffic training centers.
