EP-950™ Features

Backrest
Movement in traction promotes re-alignment, and the backrest moves with you, allowing for increased range of motion. Smooth surface allows the body to slide and achieve the optimum stretch.

Adjustable pillow.

Pristine appearance over years of use: no tear, no stain, durable, easy to clean.

Simple Height Setting
Measurements are embossed in centimeters and inches.

Ankle Lock
Simply pressing down on handle opens and closes ankle clamps.
Triple lock security feature.

Traction and Support Handles
Pushing heels of hands up against support or traction handles increases traction on the lower back. Handles make it easy to move up and down.

Tether strap: Like 'training wheels' allows you to relax while getting used to inversion, as it gives the option of 'locking' the backswing at a pre-set angle.

Ankle Comfort
The foot platform can be adjusted higher or lower to allow a comfortable fit for smaller or larger feet.

Robust Medical Grade Frame

Stable base and floor protection
Corner feet increase width of the A-frame base by 20% and reduce sliding on hard surfaces.

Security Features
Auto-locking hinges, cam locks, and heat-treated steel parts enhance security and reliability.

Smooth, Quiet Rotation
A de-ratter knob and specialized pivot bearings ensure a lifetime of smooth silent rotation.

High Quality Finishes
Scratch-resistant powder coating and triple-plated chrome.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Teeter Hang Ups products are produced by Inversion International,
family-owned American company,
leaders in the field with over 25 years’ experience.

Safety, comfort and performance are the primary motivation behind production of Hang Ups inversion equipment, to ensure a comfortable relaxing inversion experience.

Approved according to US standards
Precision-engineered to the highest standards, and subject to continuous quality control.

As inversion tables are not required to conform to any standards of quality, Teeter have volunteered theirs for testing with UL (Underwriters Laboratories), one of the leading organisations in product safety-testing and certification within the United States.  The EP-950 has been classified in accordance with UL 2601-1 (medical equipment in a clinical setting).

Although maximum recommended weight is 136 kg, during testing tables withstood a weight of up to 653 kg, more than 4x the maximum recommended weight.

Comparative Testing
Tests by an independent engineering company in USA compared 7 international brands, and found Hang Ups to be the strongest and most reliable (details under 'Independent Testing'.)

Precision Balancing
Comparative tests show Teeter tables to be the most precisely balanced.

Durable
Because the main shaft is subject to potential wear and tear due to consistent adjustment for individual height, it is triple-coated, with copper, nickel, and a finishing coat of durable outdoor-quality chrome, to protect from rust.

Capacity for Exercise
The exceptionally thick steel of the main shaft makes it possible for the table to extend beyond the vertical, and "lock" into position, leaving you hanging free. This allows for inverted exercises.

User-Friendly
Having introduced over 85 improvements (5 patented) you are assured of a mature product with unique features.

Spares
In case of parts being mislaid, spares are available at reasonable cost.

QUALITY TESTING

Worldwide there are 6 major competitor products. According to independent tests Teeter Hang Ups by far exceeded all competitors in quality, durability and performance.

Dynamark, USA, an independent engineering company, undertook 2 tests, one static, to test the weight of the load that would cause each unit to collapse, and the second dynamic (in action, the units were rotated while carrying a load equivalent to the manufacturer's maximum recommended weight).

1. The Static Load Test measured WEIGHT CAPACITY to assess strength in relation to the manufacturer's maximum recommendation. Weight was applied to the point of collapse.

The standard of approval for medical equipment is 4 times the stipulated maximum.

RESULT: Teeter was the only table that surpassed the requirement for approval as medical equipment, which it did by 20%.

2. The Cycle Test simulated USE IN ACTION loaded to the manufaturer's maximum weight specification. The units were rotated repeatedly until some component gave in.

The result was presented in terms of estimated years of use until a problem developed, and calculations were based on 730 cycles a year, which assumes it would be used twice a day at maximum weight allowance.

RESULT: The first of the competitor brands collapsed after the equivalent of 5 months, and the others all gave in at some point, the best competitor at the equivalent of 18 years' use.

Teeter Hang Ups was the only table voluntarity stopped after the equivalent of 68 years' use.
