Gill Sloped PV Standard Base Pads

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

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.
