SIT & SPORT History of SIT synthetic structures for winter sports 1958 Ponte di Legno: First ski-jump in Italy with plastic covering. The plastic covering consisted in panels with plastic filaments, fixed to a metallic support. 1959 First synthetic downhill ski-run – European Patent 1972 First synthetic long-distance ski-run 1958 - 2001 S.I.T. S.p.A. continue the production and the sales of synthetic ski slopes all around the world, with satisfaction of the customers for quality and duration of the products. 2002 Forniture of the first prototypes of synthetic panels (with plastic filaments fixed...

SIT & SPORT Passion for brushes and outdoor activity Thanks to its innovative nature and its passion, SIT has patented technologies and products in sports industry (ski but also golf and tennis). In 1962 Pietro Acquaderni, starting from his passion for winter sports, created and patented artificial ski slopes “QUATTROSTAGIONI”, that reproduce the attributes of snow, for downhill, ski jumping and cross-country skiing. Experience and intuitions lead to many patents and soon SIT became first inventor and manufacturer worldwide for brush ski slopes. “QUATTROSTAGIONI” SYSTEM WIRE Crimped wire in PVC...

“SANDWICH” system Patented SIT “sandwich” system certified to FIS (International Ski Federation) made of: Safety Plate Brush Panel • Superior mechanical resistance • Very high mechanical resistance thanks to the double welding of filament • Perfect horizontal continuity of the panel surface • Ottimo scivolamento • Special design for fast and easy assembly • UV rays and temperature variations resistant filaments for a “4 seasons” use • Cushioning and jumpers’s safety • Non erasable traceability • Recyclable and made of recycled materials • Custom colors Zinc plated belt and nylon strip • High...

Technical details • Weight Kg 1,3 (+0,1/-0) • Length mm 500 • Height mm 520 • Thickness mm 15 • Polypropylene filaments Crimped, standard green colour with antiUV additive and low temperature resistance section max 2,7x1,6 mm • Polypropylene support with additive as above In order to create a homogeneous structure

Panels Technical details POLYPROPYLENE (PP) product, with special additives for reaching a high resistance to temperature variations and high resistance to the action of UV rays. FILAMENTS: with dimensions lower than 1,6 x2,7 mm, manufactured with a particular process for granting a perfect uniformity in the filaments, both in ondulation and in the wire section. PANELS made with an innovative technique for achieving: • high mechanical resistance for the holding of filaments • high sliding • Perfect repeatability of structural form of all the elements, that can grant an easy mounting and uniformity...

Safety Plates

Safety Plates details HDPE (polyetilene) material with special additives for a better resistance to external agents EXTERNAL EDGES MADE WITH A LITTLE RISE for avoiding cutting or dangerous edges. PANEL’S TRACEABILITY data, not erasable, for having details about manufacturing date and granting a total warranty for our customers. BONDS WITH TRIANGULAR SHAPE for a better mechanical resistance, in order to avoid breakings for a long time. PARTICULAR SHAPE’S LENGTH, to allow their use with different density/overlap of panels with filaments. PINS FOR THE FIXING OF PANEL AND SAFETY PLATE for an easy...

Interchangeability of SIT plastic covering The structure of SIT safety plates and panels with filaments allows their installation also on old ski jumps plastic coverings. In order to improve the quality and safety of already existing plastic coverings, SIT panels with filaments or also safety plates, can be mounted on partial areas of the landing slope and in particular in the area of athletes landing, which is the most important.

Advantage NEW SUPPLIER but with experience and tradition HIGHER QUALITY SAFETY TRACEABILITY LOGISTICS TRANSPORT Lower costs thanks to optimizazion and overlapping of packaging STORAGE Less space is needed thanks to packaging overlapping and to the possibility of stocking goods HANDLING Special boxes SIT Ski Jump, containing about 36 panels, make the movement of the panels inside the yard easier, and prevent filament deformation from the moment of production to their final use RECYCLING OF SKI JUMP PLASTIC PANELS All types of plastic panels for our Ski Jump can be recycled. This is possible because...
