• Aesthetic and functional design eliminates spike contact with base units and unevenness at the edge of the pit. This Gill exclusive feature will increase the life of your new pit and improve safety near the edges.

• Using exclusive 17 x 11 1000 denier material increases the life of your top pad and stands up to repeated use better than any on the market.

• Soft and durable foam creates confidence in every practice. Coaches can teach with assurance because of this industry leading design.

• Designed to evenly distribute the force from the athlete's landing, V-Loop straps eliminate tears compared to traditionally designed pits that put undue stress on the seams.

• Extend the life of your pit; Gill's top pads are designed to use either side safely and easily.

• Top Pad is connected to base pads with carbiner side attachments, eliminating any obstruction on top of the pit. This detail provides an obstruction-free landing area with athletes' safety in mind.

• Exclusive to Gill landing systems, this unique design keeps water out of your pit better than old-school mesh top units. Protecting the foam from water extends the life of your landing system.

• New design provides reversible sections for maximum interchangeability. This adds years to the life of your pit by maximizing the usage and size of the athlete's landing area.

• Athletes need to know they are landing safely and comfortably. Gill's new quadruple Duralife foam is 25% softer than others yet with firmness necessary for the safest landings.

• Evenly distributed 1000 x 1000 denier polyester fabric is bonded on both sides with 18oz knife-coated PVC Vinyl. The exclusive fabric design eliminates vinyl delamination seen in other pits after years of use. This creates the most durable casing on the market that is lighter than the other pits.

• Gill's entire landing system is stitched with the industry's strongest 210 bonded polyester thread. Simply put, your new Gill pit comes triple stitched with the toughest thread in the industry to hold up to high volume practices.

• A pit is safest when constructed as an integrated system. Gill's Grip Strip Fastening System will keep your base sections functioning as one unit season after season.

• Gill Athletics cares about the environment and your budget. All landing systems are expertly packed and shipped utilizing Compress-Pack shipping, reducing freight volume, lowering fuel consumption and shipping costs. Pits restore to original size and shape quickly after unpacking.

• A long-term warranty is only as dependable as the company standing behind it. After 100 years, you can count on Gill to stand behind your landing system for years to come. If any failure occurs in the first 12 years, under normal use and care, we will repair or replace the damaged part.

• Choose from over 100 unique vinyl casing and top pad color combinations. Select your vinyl casing (xx) and top pad (yy) color combination. Add distinction with multi-color graphics on the top pad, weather cover, or both.

The Gill Polymer Platform gives your Gill 654 Pole Vault landing system a dry, elevated foundation that fights the biggest enemy of any pit: standing water. By lifting the foam and vinyl base off the ground surface, it stops rain and ground moisture from soaking in from below — the leading cause of foam breakdown and casing rot in pole vault pits. Molded from tough polymer, it resists rust and corrosion entirely, delivering a long-lasting base with virtually no upkeep.

Key features & specs

• Elevates the pit — Raises the 654 Pole Vault landing system above the ground to prevent water damage and extend service life
• Durable polymer construction — Rust- and corrosion-proof, with no metal components to degrade over time
• Modular pallet design — Individual sections are easy to carry, position, and store
• Built for the 654 System — Sized to support the Gill 654 Pole Vault landing system

Coach's tip: Set the platform on a level, well-draining surface and confirm the pit sits flush across the full base before every season. Care: Rinse off dirt and debris periodically and stack the sections for compact storage in the off-season.

The Gill Polymer Platform is the modern, low-maintenance way to keep a Gill 641 High Jump landing system off the ground and out of standing water. Elevating the pit protects its foam core and vinyl casing from the moisture that pools on tracks and infields — the number-one cause of premature landing-system breakdown. Built from durable polymer instead of metal, this platform won't rust or corrode, making it an easy, long-term foundation for programs that leave their pits set up through the season.

Key features & specs

• Elevates the pit — Raises the 641 High Jump landing system above the ground to prevent water damage and extend pit life

Standing water is the fastest way to ruin an expensive landing pit, and the Gill Aluminum Platform is the fix. Built to support the Gill 641 High Jump System above the ground surface, it lifts the foam and vinyl base off the track so rain and ground moisture can't pool underneath and break down the pit from below. For programs protecting a serious investment in their landing system, this platform is the difference between a pit that lasts a few seasons and one that lasts for years.

Key features & specs

• Elevates the pit — Supports high jump (and pole vault) landing pits above the ground to prevent water damage and premature foam breakdown
• Corrosion-resistant aluminum — Stands up to rain, humidity, and outdoor exposure without rusting
• Modular pallet design — Consists of individual pallets that are easy to carry, position, and store

Protect your landing systems and the athletes who use them with the Gill Pit Stop base plate system. Pole vault and high jump pits shift under repeated landings and can slide dangerously toward standards or hard surfaces; the Pit Stop locks the base in place with a spiked, powder-coated steel plate — a simple, rugged safety addition that keeps your pit where it belongs, practice after practice.

Key features & specs

• 1/4" powder-coated steel plates for heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant durability under constant use
• 1/2" spikes on the base secure the plate to the surface and prevent the pit from shifting
• Pole Vault Pit Stop includes two base plates joined by a connector panel
• High Jump Pit Stop includes a single base plate
• Universally compatible with any pole vault or high jump pit
• Low-profile design anchors the pit without obstructing the landing area

Coach's tip: set the Pit Stop on firm, level ground and press the spikes fully in so the plate can't creep during a session, then reposition the pit over it and check alignment before athletes begin. Inspect the plates and spikes periodically for bends, and wipe them down and store dry in the off-season to preserve the powder coat.
