INNOVATION BY GALICAN
Rigid-Core PVC Structural Profile.
Vertical Structure: Rigid-Core PVC Structural Profile
The Swift model replaces the aluminum frame with a high-performance Rigid-Core PVC vertical chassis. Engineered for those who prioritize agility and total weather resistance, its low-inertia architecture makes it EXTREMELY SAFE FOR DOGS.
High-Impact Rigid Polymer: Unlike standard PVC tubes, this profile features a reinforced internal geometry (Rigid-Core) that provides the necessary verticality and stiffness for competition while maintaining a lightweight profile of 4 kg.
Seamless Monomaterial Design: The structure is entirely free of welds. By using a single-material approach, we eliminate weak points and prevent the thermal fatigue often found in joined metal structures.
100% Corrosion-Proof: This full-polymer architecture is naturally immune to oxidation, making it the definitive choice for clubs in coastal areas or environments with extreme humidity and salinity.
Mechanical Anchor System & Modularity
Bolt-on Mechanical Fastening: The stabilizer base is integrated with the vertical post through a bottom-entry mechanical anchoring system using stainless steel (INOX) hardware.
Modular Maintenance: This "bolt-on" design (replacing fixed or welded joints) allows for the independent replacement of any component. If a part is damaged, it can be swapped in minutes, ensuring a virtually unlimited product lifecycle.
Logistical Efficiency: The detachable nature of the chassis allows for Flat-Pack storage and transport, optimizing space during major events or for club storage.
SOFT COVERS
The union between the MDPVC panel and the Rigid-Core PVC upright incorporates a system of technical covers called Soft Covers. This component is not merely aesthetic; it plays a critical role in passive safety and 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 Swift 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.
Rigid-Core PVC Profiling: Manufactured from high-impact Rigid-Core PVC, combining extreme lightweight transportability (4 kg) with the necessary structural rigidity for professional use.
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/Glued Joints:
Fatigue Resistance: Unlike glued or welded plastics that can crack under stress, bolted hardware allows for controlled micro-flexion, significantly extending the overall service life.
Maintenance and Repair: Enables the independent replacement of the base in case of accidental damage, without the need to discard the entire vertical assembly.
Logistical Efficiency: Allows for a "Flat-Pack" configuration, making it easy to disassemble for compact storage or long-distance shipping.
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: Provides maximum grip on artificial turf, sand tracks, or technical indoor pavilion flooring.
Surface Integrity: They prevent scratches on delicate surfaces and eliminate noise during handling or contact with the ground.
Height Adjustment System
High-Precision Sliding Carriage
The Swift model incorporates a height management system designed for on-track operational agility and the dog’s mechanical safety.
1. Linear Sliding Mechanism
Integrated Polymer Guide: The cup support moves through a rail integrated directly into the Rigid-Core PVC 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, even in high-speed competition environments.
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. High-Visibility Measurement Scale (Visual Guide)
Direct Height Reading: The Rigid-Core PVC upright features a high-contrast 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: The numbering is designed to resist high-pressure cleaning, constant support friction, and UV radiation, ensuring the scale remains legible throughout the product's extended lifecycle.
Comprehensive Maintenance & Spare Parts System
Technical Breakdown & Selective Replacement
Mechanical Fasteners: By utilizing stainless steel bolts and hardware instead of permanent joints or adhesives, every element of the Swift jump remains independent. This bolt-on architecture ensures structural integrity while allowing for a completely modular design.
Targeted Repair: In the event of a critical impact or extreme wear, the user can replace only the affected part—whether it be an MDPVC panel, a Rigid-Core PVC 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.
