The Gill Sloped Pole Vault Standard Base Pads are a mandatory safety component for any compliant pole vault installation, wrapping the exposed base uprights of the standard system in protective padding. The sloped profile is the key: it lets athletes land on and around the standards without striking sharp corners or hard edges, reducing injury risk in the busiest, highest-traffic zone of the vault area.

Key features & specs

• Designed specifically for the Gill 61617C pole vault standard system
• Sloped profile eliminates sharp corners and hard edges at the base
• Protects both athletes and the standard structure during landings
• Precision-fit for seamless integration with compatible standards
• Helps meet safety requirements at high school and collegiate facilities

Facility tip: inspect the pads at the start of every season and replace any with compressed foam or torn covers, since worn padding no longer provides compliant protection. Wipe the covers down with mild soap and water, let them dry fully before storage, and keep them out of prolonged direct sun when the runway is idle to extend cover life.

The Gill Steel Vault Box is the foundation of a safe, competition-grade pole vault runway. Constructed from heavy-duty steel, it delivers the strength and rigidity programs demand at the high school and collegiate level, receiving the pole tip at plant and safely transferring the enormous forces generated during the vault. Because the box is one of the most punished pieces of pole vault infrastructure, Gill's steel build is engineered to withstand repeated impact season after season without deforming or shifting.

Key features & specs

• Heavy-duty steel construction for maximum strength and rigidity
• Engineered to receive the pole tip at plant and transfer force safely
• Withstands repeated competitive impact without deforming
• Meets NFHS and NCAA specifications
• A trusted choice for new installations and runway renovations

Facility tip: pair the vault box with a compliant box collar to pad the exposed hard surfaces around the plant area. Keep the box clear of sand and debris, drain standing water after rain, and periodically inspect the welds and mounting to ensure it stays flush with the runway surface.

The Gill 3 Piece Pole Vault Crossbar is the smart-shipping solution for programs that want competition-grade performance without competition-grade freight bills. It's the only Gill competition crossbar engineered to ship in a small package by UPS rather than by truck, dramatically reducing shipping charges and letting you expedite delivery when a meet is on the line. The bar arrives in three sections and assembles quickly in the field, then performs like a one-piece bar once it's set on the standards.

Key features & specs

• Ships in three pieces via UPS small package for lower freight cost and faster, expeditable delivery
• Built from the same durable, thick-walled pultruded fiberglass used in Gill's Collegiate Crossbars
• Assembles on-site for immediate meet-day use
• Meets NFHS and NCAA specifications for high school and collegiate competition
• Consistent flex and roll-off performance expected from a Gill competition bar

Coach's tip: keep a spare on hand so a chipped bar never delays a meet. Store the crossbar horizontally on a rack or in its shipping tube to prevent warping, wipe it down after wet meets, and inspect the sections and end fittings for cracks before each use.

The Gill AGX Pole Vault Crossbar is Gill's premier competition bar, engineered to give vaulters every technical advantage the rules allow. Its exclusive half-moon profile ends lower the bar's center of gravity so it sits more stably on the pegs — keeping the bar up on near-miss clearances that would dislodge a lighter, less stable crossbar and giving athletes the benefit of the doubt at big heights.

Key features & specs:

• Profile ends: Exclusive half-moon ends lower the center of gravity for peg stability
• Weight: Built to the heaviest weight the rules allow for maximum stability
• End pieces: Shorter, more stable, redesigned for improved performance
• Construction: Durable thick-walled pultruded fiberglass rod
• Compliance/Note: Meets High School and NCAA specifications; not guaranteed against breakage; GP-530

Coach's tip: Set the bar with the half-moon ends seated correctly on the pegs for maximum stability, and inspect it for cracks or deep scratches before each session — crossbars aren't guaranteed against breakage, so retire any compromised bar. Store it supported along its full length to prevent a permanent bow.

The Gill AGX is the premier high jump crossbar in Gill's competition lineup — purpose-built for athletes and facilities that demand every technical advantage the rules allow. The AGX's patented half-moon end profile and maximum-allowable weight work together to keep the bar on the pegs through near-miss clearances that would dislodge a lighter, less stable crossbar, giving jumpers the benefit of the doubt on borderline attempts.

• Exclusive Half-Moon Profile Ends – Patented half-moon shaped end pieces lower the crossbar's center of gravity compared to standard round-end bars, keeping the bar sitting more stably on the standard pegs and reducing the chance of the bar falling on near-miss clearances — a critical competitive advantage for athletes pushing personal records and championship heights
• Heaviest Crossbar the Rules Allow – The AGX is engineered to the maximum weight permitted under competition rules, providing the greatest possible bar stability and peg-sitting inertia — heavier bars are less easily dislodged by incidental contact, giving jumpers more margin on close clearances at high heights
• Thick-Walled Pultruded Fiberglass Rod – Premium thick-walled fiberglass construction through the pultruding process delivers consistent flex characteristics, minimum sag across the full 13'1-1/2" span, and the structural integrity needed to withstand the physical demands of high-volume competition and practice use
• Redesigned Shorter, More Stable End Pieces – Updated end piece geometry is shorter and more precisely contoured than previous designs, providing improved contact stability on standard pegs and a more consistent bar-to-peg interaction across different standard brands and configurations at competition venues
• World Athletics, NFHS, and NCAA Certified – Carries full World Athletics (IAAF) certification and meets NFHS and NCAA specifications, making it competition-legal at high school, collegiate, and international competition levels without requiring different bars for different meet standards
• Standard 13'1-1/2" Competition Length – Full regulation length for high jump competition, compatible with all standard high jump uprights; also suitable for pole vault crossbar use — ships via freight carrier due to length; ordering multiple bars helps offset shipping costs

The Gill Elastic Krossband is a training crossbar that takes the fear out of learning to clear height in the pole vault and high jump.
