Description:

Jumpflex Hero trampolines are a brand new range of trampolines, designed to answer critical business issues facing Jumpflex, through innovative design.

These issues include developing a differentiated premium aesthetic to stand out in-market, reducing logistics costs, and ease of assembly - all within the confines of a traditional spring-based trampoline.

The trampoline industry is full of inefficiency and waste, both in the physical design and business/service model. We identified the key inefficiencies as constraints which would inform the main requirements of the product as:

-Achieving a sub 30-minute assembly time sub, reducing frustrating time-consuming user experiences (especially for solo parents or caregivers)

-Designing a lasting product for disassembly so parts can be individually replaced or separated for recycling post-life cycle

-Ensuring the product would fit within a 1m3 pallet to mitigate freight and last-mile shipping charges for Jumpflex and the customer respectively

Traditional coil extension springs are the gold standard in bounce technology for trampolines and are still used at the highest level in Olympic equipment. Other ‘no coil spring’ trampoline products use alternative materials that degrade over time and lose power, creating diminishing returns as a functioning trampoline with ultimately less fun.

Hero takes Jumpflex’s proven extension springs and provides a superior bounce in an enclosure that alleviates all safety concerns.

Our “Safeseal Technology” 360 Degree net enclosure clips to the jump mat all around the trampoline, ensuring no possibility for kids to fall out once the trampoline door is zipped shut. Our soft touch safety nets are woven with Endless Weave Technology ™ , using 100% high-strength polyester and an active UV protection additive. The safety nets maintain a Grade 6 Intertek UV Testing standard and are 250% more durable than standard nets. With the unique Jumpflex silhouette, the safety net poles curve away from the trampoline to totally eliminate the risk of contact through the safety net.

The T-Joint button clip snap together system allows the trampoline frame to be clipped together like Lego, and reduces assembly time down to twenty minutes. The weld free, bolt free assembly means individual parts can be disassembled and replaced easily, and creates a robust double ringed structure boasting a 550lb weight rating. Breaking the assembly up into smaller sections allows the product to pack efficiently and easily fit within a standard 1m3 shipping pallet and avoid excess freight and last mile charges.

With the ‘Hero’ trampoline, Jumpflex will lead innovation in traditional spring-based trampolines, with increased revenue, lower costs, greater defendability against imitation and improved sustainability through:

-A new, distinctive premium design aesthetic

-Lower distribution costs are achieved through a product design that breaks down into component parts that fit into courier-sized boxes (versus overweight items)

-Patented weld-free, bolt-free technology - which makes assembly sub 30 minutes versus two hours plus. This is also better for the environment (zero weld).

-Championing quality products in an industry dominated by low-quality products that become waste within 24 months - reinforced with a lifetime warranty.
