Pole vault

The planting box is an essential part of the pole vault installation. At the end of the runway, the athlete places the pole in the planting box, after which the take-off and jump are initiated.

W&H supplies planting boxes with cover. The cover protects the planting box when it is not in use and provides a neater and safer finish to the athletics facility.

Pole vault standards in rails are practical when the position of the standards must be adjustable accurately and flexibly. The rails make it possible to move the standards and align them properly with the jump and the competition level.

This version is suitable for athletics facilities where training takes place regularly and competitions are organized. The adjustability contributes to a professional and user-friendly pole vault setup.

In addition to standards in rails, we also supply pole vault standards in ground sleeves. This version is installed firmly in the facility and is suitable for fixed applications.

Standards in ground sleeves are interesting for locations where a robust and fixed solution is desired. Depending on the facility and its use, it can be determined which standard version fits best.

A landing mat is of great importance in pole vault for the athlete's safety. Because great heights are reached in this discipline, the mat must be sufficiently large, stable and cushioning.

W&H supplies landing mats in various versions. The right choice depends on the competition level, the available space, the use and the requirements set for the facility.

A platform under the landing mat ensures that the mat is raised off the ground. This helps with ventilation and prevents the mat from being in direct contact with moisture.

For outdoor facilities, a platform is a practical addition. It contributes to stable placement of the landing mat and can help extend the lifespan of the mat.

For competition use, materials for pole vault must meet the requirements of World Athletics. Think of the dimensions of the landing mat, the design of the standards, the planting box and the layout of the jumping location.

The materials from W&H meet the requirements of World Athletics and are therefore suitable for athletics facilities where training and competitions take place.

A safe pole vault facility consists of multiple components that must fit together properly. Think of the runway, planting box, standards, crossbar, landing mat, platform and cover.

W&H can help think through the complete setup of the pole vault location. In doing so, we look at safety, ease of use, competition suitability, protection and maintenance.

The dimensions of a landing mat for pole vault depend on the use and competition level. For official competitions, minimum requirements apply according to World Athletics.

The height of the standards depends on the version and the intended use. W&H supplies standards that are suitable for training and competitions and can advise which version suits your facility.

Landing mats can be protected with a platform and a canopy. The platform keeps the mat off the ground and the canopy protects against rain, dirt, sun and rodents.

For competition use, the landing mat must comply with the applicable requirements for dimensions, cushioning, stability and safety. We can advise which mat is suitable for your competition level.

For pole vaulting you need, among other things, a planting box, pole vault standards, a crossbar and a landing mat. For protection and maintenance, a platform and canopy are also recommended

Standards on rails are flexible to move and can be adjusted precisely. Standards in ground sockets are placed in a fixed position and are suitable for a robust permanent setup.
