Pole Vault Equipment & Poles

Vaulting poles are a major investment, and the Gill Custom Pole Bag protects them in transit while giving your program a sharp, team-branded look. Built from heavy-duty vinyl with leather-reinforced ends, it stands up to the loading, hauling, and travel that come with a full season of meets. Order it in your school's colors and turn a basic equipment bag into a piece of team identity that travels everywhere your vaulters do.

Key features & specs

• Custom look — Personalize the bag to match your school's colors and personality
• Holds five-plus poles — Carries at least five vaulting poles at once
• Heavy-duty vinyl — Tough outer material built for repeated travel and storage
• Leather-reinforced ends — Added durability at the high-wear ends for a long service life
• 10' length — Made to fit a 6" corrugated drain tube (tube not included) for rigid protection

Coach's tip: Slide the bag over a 6" corrugated drain tube so poles ride inside a rigid shell that resists bending and impact during transport. Care: Wipe the vinyl clean, let it dry before storage, and check the reinforced ends periodically for wear.

The Gill Aluminum Platform is the purpose-built foundation support for the Gill 654 Series pole vault landing system. Raising the pit off the ground surface protects the foam and vinyl casing from moisture intrusion and ground contact degradation — extending the service life of the landing system significantly and keeping the pit in competition-ready condition year after year.

• • Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Construction – Individual platform pallets are built from high-quality aluminum that resists rust and surface corrosion through outdoor exposure, rain, and humidity, maintaining structural integrity and supporting the landing system reliably across multiple seasons without deterioration
  • Elevates Pit Above Ground Level – Raises the 654 Series pole vault landing system off the ground surface to prevent water from pooling beneath the pit and soaking into the foam base units — the primary cause of premature foam breakdown and vinyl casing damage in pole vault landing systems
  • Individual Pallet Design for Easy Handling – Platform consists of separate individual pallets rather than a single heavy unit, making each piece manageable for one or two people to carry, position, and store without heavy equipment or excessive manual labor
  • Quick Assembly and Disassembly – Pallet system goes together and comes apart rapidly, allowing facility staff to set up or break down the platform during meet preparation or off-season storage without tools or lengthy setup procedures
  • Precise Fit for 654 Series Landing System – Engineered specifically to match the footprint dimensions of Gill's 654 Pole Vault Landing System, ensuring the pit sits flush, level, and fully supported across its entire base without gaps or instability at the edges
  • Compact Storage When Disassembled – Individual aluminum pallets stack efficiently for compact off-season storage, minimizing the facility space required to store the platform when the pole vault pit is not in active use during the competitive season

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
• Built for the 641 System — Sized to support the Gill 641 High Jump landing system

Coach's tip: Set the platform on a level, well-draining surface so water sheds away from the pit entirely. Care: Rinse off dirt and debris periodically and stack the pallets for compact off-season storage.

The Gill Competition Pole Tip, Size 002, is the small replacement part that protects both your vaulting poles and your athletes' plants. Made from tough, durable rubber, it cushions the pole tip for a softer plant into the box while delivering the long-lasting performance a busy vault program depends on. Replacing a worn tip is one of the cheapest, highest-impact maintenance steps you can take to keep your poles safe and your vaulters confident on every approach.

Key features & specs:

• Tough, durable rubber construction for reliable, long-lasting use
• Cushions the pole for a softer plant into the vault box
• Size 002 — consult Gill's replacement-tip sizing guide to match your poles
• Sold individually as a replacement pole tip

Coach's tip: Inspect pole tips at the start of every season and replace any that are cracked, worn thin, or missing chunks — a fresh tip protects the pole and softens the plant. Use Gill's sizing guide to confirm the correct size for each pole before ordering so replacements fit right the first time.

The Gill Pole Vault Standard Offset Extensions let officials and coaches drop the crossbar well below the standards' normal minimum, opening up your vault runway to younger and developing athletes who compete at lower heights. This 2-pin version lowers the crossbar an additional two feet, extending the usable range of your existing standards without buying a second set. Finished in safety orange for high visibility around the pit, they're a simple, durable add-on that makes your vault program accessible to more of your athletes.

Key features & specs:

• 2-Pin Offset Extensions lower the crossbar an additional 2' below standard minimum
• 4-Pin Offset Extensions (sold separately) lower the crossbar an additional 4'
• Powder-coated in high-visibility safety orange
• Sold as a pair to fit both standards

Coach's tip: Keep a set with your vault standards so you can quickly accommodate beginning vaulters or youth meets without swapping equipment. Store them with the pins so nothing goes missing, and wipe down the powder-coated finish after wet meets to keep the safety-orange visibility bright.

The Gill Universal Steel Vault Box Lid finishes your pole vault plant box installation, sealing the box flush with the runway so athletes get a clean, consistent surface right up to the plant point. Built from twelve-gauge steel with fold-and-weld construction, it delivers the rugged strength a heavily used plant zone demands, while flanged edges and flared sides lock it securely in place so it stays put through every planted pole. It's the durable, meet-ready cap that keeps your vault runway safe, level, and competition-legal.

Key features & specs:

• Twelve-gauge steel with fold-and-weld construction for heavy-duty strength
• Flanged edges and flared sides for secure, stable installation in the runway
• Finished with a durable white powder coat for weather resistance and visibility
• Universal design pairs with Gill vault boxes (box and lid sold separately)
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; World Athletics certified

Coach's tip: Confirm your box and lid are ordered together as a set since they ship separately, and check the fit and anchoring at the start of each season. Sweep out debris and clear standing water after wet meets to protect the powder coat and keep the plant zone clean.

The Gill Sloped Manual AGX PV Standard Base Pads are purpose-built for Gill's AGX M2 manual pole vault standards, giving your program a precise-fit safety component instead of a generic one-size compromise. The sloped profile is contoured to the AGX M2 base so the pads seat correctly and cushion the standard bases, protecting vaulters from hard contact and shielding poles from impact during vaults and dismounts. For any facility running AGX M2 standards, these are the matched base pads that complete a safe, competition-ready pole vault setup.

Key features & specs

• Designed specifically for Gill AGX M2 (manual) Pole Vault Standards
• Sloped profile contoured to the AGX M2 base for a precise fit
• Protects vaulters from impact with the standard bases
• Also shields poles from base contact during use
• Sold in pairs (one per standard)

Coach's tip: Confirm you're running AGX M2 manual standards before ordering — pads are shaped per standard model and won't seat correctly on a different base. Care: Wipe clean, dry fully before storage, and inspect for compression or tears each season so the pads keep cushioning as intended.

The Gill Sloped AGX M4 PV Standard Base Pads are engineered specifically for Gill's AGX M4 pole vault standards, delivering a precise, purpose-built fit that generic pads can't match. Their sloped profile is contoured to the AGX M4 base geometry, cushioning the standard bases so vaulters and poles are protected from hard contact during vaults and dismounts. For programs running AGX M4 standards, these are the correct, competition-ready base pads to complete a safe pole vault setup.

Key features & specs

• Designed specifically for Gill AGX M4 Pole Vault Standards
• Sloped profile contoured to the AGX M4 base for a precise fit
• Protects vaulters from impact with the standard bases
• Also shields poles from base contact during use
• Sold in pairs (one per standard)

Coach's tip: Match your base pads to your exact standard model — AGX M4 pads are shaped for that base and won't seat correctly on other standards. Care: Wipe clean, dry fully before storing, and check for wear or compression each season so the pads continue to cushion as designed.

The Gill Flat PV Standard Base Pads deliver critical protection at the base of your pole vault standards — one of the most overlooked collision points in the event. Positioned around the standard bases, they shield vaulters from hard contact and protect expensive poles from impact damage during vaults and dismounts. For any program running pole vault, base pads are a fundamental safety investment that keeps athletes confident and equipment intact.

Key features & specs

• Fits 28" tall Gill systems and all standards with center-mounted uprights
• Protects vaulters from impact with the bases of the pole vault standards
• Also shields poles from hitting the standard bases
• Flat profile designed for center-mounted upright configurations
• Sold in pairs (one per standard)

Coach's tip: Confirm your standards use center-mounted uprights before ordering — the flat profile is designed specifically for that configuration. Care: Wipe the vinyl surface clean, allow to dry before storage, and inspect the pads for compression or tears at the start of each season to ensure they still cushion effectively.

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.
