Why are they important to us?

Teeter Hang Ups has always considered product quality our Number One priority. We are in continuous contact with a quality assurance engineering firm that inspects our products for top quality. Teeter Hang Ups has continuously invested resources to maintain and improve product quality and integrity, making countless upgrades over the years to increase user friendliness, structural integrity and product safety.

And isn't quality the most important thing to consider when purchasing a piece of equipment from which you will hang upside down?! If a treadmill breaks, it's annoying. But if your inversion table breaks, it could hurt you.
In fact, we believe so strongly in the importance of safety that we voluntarily submitted the F-series Inversion Tables to Underwriter's Laboratories for evaluation. We are proud to say that the F-series Inversion Tables are Classified as UL 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment, part I; General Requirements for Safety in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Representative samples of these tables have been evaluated by UL and have successfully met these safety requirements.
UL 60601-1 is a very rigorous specification that tests a unit in its extreme use positions. At the maximum height settings, the 300 pound rated load is tested at the fully inverted position with a 400% safety factor.
Additionally, the Power II Inversion Table is UL Listed under standard 1647, the standard for motor-operated exercise machines.

UL Definitions:
Listing Mark
This is one of the most common UL Marks. If a product carries this mark, it means UL found that samples of this product met UL's safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on UL's own published Standards for Safety. This type of mark is seen commonly on appliances and computer equipment, furnaces and heaters, fuses, electrical panelboards, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems, personal flotation devices like life jackets and life preservers, bullet resistant glass, and thousands of other products. The Power II and VI are UL Listed 1647.
UL Classification Mark
This mark appears on products that UL has also evaluated. Products carrying this mark have been evaluated for specific properties, a limited range of hazards, or suitability for use under limited or special conditions. Typically, products Classified by UL fall into the general categories of building materials and industrial equipment. Examples of types of equipment Classified by UL include immersion suits, fire doors, protective gear for fire fighters and industrial trucks. Inversion tables model F-5000, F-7000 and F-9000 are UL Classified 60601-1, for Medical Equipment in a clinical setting.
