Gill Perfect Plant Sliding Vault Box

The Gill Perfect Plant Sliding Vault Box is a training tool designed by elite vaulters Pat Manson (19' 2¼") and Scott Huffman (19' 7") to help athletes master the run, plant, and take-off. By letting vaulters rehearse pole carriage, run mechanics, tempo, and step placement in a controlled, repeatable way, it builds the muscle memory that translates directly to higher, safer vaults on the runway.

Key features & specs:

• Purpose: Trains run, plant, and take-off mechanics for pole vault
• Design: Tip-proof design with a built-in carry handle for portability
• Accuracy: Zero mark molded into the side for placement accuracy; same size as a regulation vault box
• Construction: High-impact thermoplastic with UV-protected white polycarbonate for visibility and durability
• Model: GP-2531

Coach's tip: Use the sliding box for plant-and-takeoff reps before moving athletes to the live pit, and reference the molded zero mark to keep step placement consistent rep to rep. Store it indoors out of prolonged sun, and wipe it down so the high-visibility surface stays clear.
