The Single Jumper Jump-Scare Mech

The Single Jumper drives on a prop with a 32mm cylinder with 400mm of lift. A great prop to get your skeleton or other scary character jumping out of a wheelie bin or maybe up to scare the trick or treaters from behind a bush. 

The frame is fabricated from heavy-grade steel and finished in a high-end matt black — the kind of black that vanishes into the dark and won't throw a reflection when a phone torch swings past. It's built to take a full season of hard cycling and come back for the next one.

And because nobody wants a great welded cage eating half the garage come January, the whole frame comes apart. It stores flat — and it ships flat too. The base footprint is 40cm x 46cm: compact enough to hide, sturdy enough to take some ballast, and trust it won't bounce around.

Made by Paul
Every Single Jumper is made by hand in the UK by Paul — otherwise known as Baldy — a retired fabricator who spent his whole career building custom metalwork and clearly wasn't ready to put the tools down. These aren't stamped off a production line; they're built one at a time by someone who's been doing this longer than some of our customers have been alive.

To bring it to life
The Single Jumper is the mechanism, we supply the cylinders, valves, speed controllers - all you need to add is the air and the control, so a BaldrickSwitchy, the upcoming BaldrickScene, or some kind of analogue switch or button.
