Whirlpole The Base GeckoGrip™ is an aerial pole for pole dance equipped with a double security rope and a sphere installed at the bottom, which, if inserted into a special platform called TheBase (included), allows performing various choreographic evolutions on the pole inclined at approx. 45°.
The space required will vary depending on the inclination. Please take into consideration that the minimum radius should correspond to ¾ of the pole’s height.
The TheBase GeckoGrip WhirlPole is composed of:
two pole sections of 150 cm in length with GeckoGrip coating
a central joint for the passage of the cables in anodised aerospace aluminium
a bottom end with ball and a top end in anodised aerospace aluminium
double cables: 450 kg tensile strength for each cord, guaranteeing the utmost safety
A hexagonal 5-mm thick steel base with anti-corrosion treatment
The hexagonal floor platform called TheBase is a 5-mm thick stainless steel plate, which allows you to use your Whirlpole as a regular spinning dance pole attached to the floor. The platform’s socket is made of special material with very low coefficient of friction, whereas its surface remaining in contact with the floor is covered with a high-friction rubber finish that ensures its stability and prevents slipping when in use.
Attention: make sure that the platform’s surface in contact with the floor is free of dirt and dust, which may reduce the grip and cause slipping.

The assembly of the Whirlpole aerial pole consists in fixing the included rope to the ceiling using special ultra-safe supports and inserting the pole’s end sphere into the base, which will allow its rotation.
The Whirlpole aerial pole is available in ø 40 mm and ø 45 mm, in bright white and glossy-black colour versions, with a special GeckoGrip™ lacquering.
Please keep in mind that the ø 40 mm aerial pole is designed to be used by only one person at a time.
