Track & Field Equipment

Protect your track surface from cleats, spikes and equipment traffic with the Gill Crossover Zone. Lighter and far easier to handle than heavy "conveyor belt rubber" systems, this protective mat shields your investment against steel-tipped cleats, shoes and equipment wheels wherever athletes and gear cross the track. Its geotextile construction lets rain drain right through so water won't pool, and the clean black-with-gold-edging look keeps your facility sharp on event day.

Key features & specs

• Lighter and easier to handle than conveyor-belt-rubber systems
• Protects against steel-tipped cleats, shoes and equipment wheels
• Rain drains through to prevent pooling
• Durable black geotextile with gold edging
• Backed by a manufacturer's warranty

Coach's tip: lay the Crossover Zone at high-traffic entry points and equipment paths to save your track surface from the most concentrated wear. Care: hose off dirt and debris as needed, let it dry before rolling, and store flat or rolled in a dry area to preserve the material.

Restore a worn approach or build one where none exists with the Gill Runway Surface. This 10mm-thick, 36"-wide rollout surface installs quickly to give jumpers and vaulters a consistent, competition-quality approach without a costly full-track resurfacing project.

The Gill Landing System Tie-Down Kit is a simple but essential safeguard for your high jump or pole vault pit — dramatically reducing the chance of a landing system shifting or 'flying' in high winds. By securing the pit to the ground, the kit keeps your expensive landing system safely in place between sessions and protects athletes from the hazard of a displaced pit. Sold in single-strap increments, it lets you build the exact tie-down configuration your facility and pit size require.

Key features & specs

• Decreases the chance of your landing system shifting or 'flying' away in wind
• Sold in one-strap increments so you can tailor the number of anchor points to your pit
• Available in a concrete-installation configuration or an 'earth' (grass) installation
• Includes the appropriate anchors for the chosen installation surface
• Helps protect both athletes and your landing-system investment

Coach's tip: Match the kit to your surface — concrete anchors for hard-surface installs, earth anchors for grass — and add straps for larger pits or windy sites. Care: Inspect straps and anchors for fraying or corrosion at the start of each season and after major storms, and replace any worn hardware promptly.

The Gill Recessed Steeplechase Water Jump Cover lets your facility reclaim the water jump pit as usable, safe surface when the steeplechase isn't in session. Built from heavy aluminum planking framed in rugged aluminum angle, the cover panels bridge the water jump so athletes, crews, and other events can move safely across the area — then lift out cleanly when it's time to run the steeple. The recessed design sits flush with the track surface for a seamless, trip-free transition.

Key features & specs

• Each panel made from 9.5" x 1.75" x .125" aluminum planking
• Framed with heavy-duty aluminum angle for structural rigidity
• Four flush-mount handles per panel for safe, easy lifting and placement
• Recessed design engineered for a 0.5" (12mm) track surface for a flush fit
• Understructure supported with 4" x 2" aluminum beams

Coach's tip: Use the flush-mount handles and a two-person lift to seat and remove panels safely — the aluminum construction is durable but the panels are best handled in pairs. Care: Rinse off grit, dry before storing, and keep the beam understructure clear of debris so panels seat flush every time.
