High jump stands

Helpful information about jump racks in a nutshell

1 Types of stands and application

Each type of high jump stands is designed with the specific needs of users in mind, allowing the equipment to be optimally matched to the athlete's level and training and professional conditions.
School stands
- are designed for use in educational institutions, such as elementary schools and high schools. They feature sturdy construction and ease of use, making them ideal for use by younger athletes during physical education lessons. With simple height adjustment mechanisms, the stands allow quick adjustment to different levels of fitness and height of youngsters.
The training stands
- are designed for intensive training of both amateur and semi-professional athletes. They combine the strength and stability needed for everyday exercise with the flexibility needed for a variety of technical workouts. They are ideal for sports clubs, athletic academies and individual training. They are used both inside sports halls and in outdoor stadiums. Thanks to their design, they allow for a wide range of exercises, from basic jumps to advanced techniques to improve technique and jump height.
Performance stands
- are designed for professional athletes participating in top-level competitions such as national and international championships and the Olympic Games. They are designed for maximum stability, precision and safety. These stands are designed for professional athletics stadiums, where training and competitions are held at the highest level. They meet all international standards and certifications, such as WA, which is essential to ensure proper conditions for setting sports records.

2 Technical specifications and safety

Technical specifications have a direct impact on the safety, convenience and effectiveness of training and competitions. Below is a detailed discussion of key aspects of the racks.
Materials and Construction
- Most high jump stands are made of aluminum, which is lightweight yet very strong. The aluminum used in the stands is often subjected to an anodizing process, which involves the electrochemical formation of a hard layer of aluminum on the surface of the material through an electrolytic bath in sulfuric acid, which increases its resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. Specially designed aluminum profiles are silver anodized in an effort to ensure longevity and weather resistance, ensuring not only durability, but also an aesthetic appearance.
- Some components, such as the base, can be made of high-strength low- or high-alloy steel of the following subtypes: S235JR, S355, which provide high tensile and compressive strength, which is crucial for load transfer, or the following stainless variants: AISI 304, AISI 316, which provide exceptional corrosion resistance, including resistance to various atmospheric agents. High-quality steel provides additional stability and durability. The bases have different shapes in the letters "T" or "Y", which provide adequate stability to the structure. In addition, the bases are often powder-coated, which increases their resistance to corrosion and wear. Powder coating involves applying dry powder to the metal surface using an electrostatic spray gun, and then the powder adheres to the metal surface by means of electrostatic charges. Finally, the structure is cured at high temperature. This process creates a durable, protective coating that is resistant to scratches, chemicals and weathering. In turn, the stance and training models are equipped with casters, which make it easier to move the stands.
- Equally important is the fact that weather resistance has been taken care of in the models. All models are designed and made for outdoor use; thanks to anodized aluminum profiles and powder-coated bases, protection against corrosion, rain and UV radiation is ensured, which is particularly important for the durability of equipment used in stadiums.
- What's more, the stands are equipped with two brackets for the position of the crossbar. One bracket follows the arrow indications, while the other, fixed 50 cm lower, prevents the bracket from moving over greater distances. Each of these components is designed to maintain the highest level of product quality, and therefore safety and durability, which is essential for effective training and competition at the highest level.

3 Functionality and certifications

Height adjustment mechanisms
- Models can be equipped with telescopic height adjustment mechanisms, allowing the crossbar to be precisely set at the desired height. The telescopic design is easy to use and takes up little space during transport and storage. In addition, gauges located in special recesses in the aluminum profile allow for precise adjustment of the height of the crossbar. The scale is protected from mechanical damage and wear, which ensures long-term precision of measurements. It is also worth mentioning the self-locking mechanisms with which the stands are equipped; they ensure that the crossbar is safely and securely held at the set height. These mechanisms are easy to operate and allow quick height changes without the risk of the crossbar falling uncontrollably.
Transporting the stands
- In high-performance models, training models and more, care has been taken to address the issue of logistics of the stands, which should be easy to transport and store without resistance. Bases equipped with casters make it easy to move the stands around the stadium or sports hall. The casters are designed to ensure the stability of the stand once it is set up.
Certifications and Standards
- Many models of high jump stands are certified for quality and compliance with international standards, such as WA (World Athletics). These certifications ensure that the equipment meets the highest standards of quality and safety, which is essential for use in official sports competitions.
- The high jump stands are manufactured in accordance with strict manufacturing standards, which include quality control of materials, precise manufacturing processes and strength tests. Each stand undergoes thorough testing to ensure its durability and safe use. Confirmation of the high manufacturing standards is the use of not only high quality aluminum and steel, but also anodizing and powder coating processes, further protecting the rack's materials.
