Long Jump and Triple Jump Equipment for Clubs, Schools and Stadiums
Whether you are building a new landing area, replacing a worn take-off board or stocking an officials’ kit bag, this range covers the equipment for both horizontal jumps. If you are planning a new pit or a refurbishment, our installations and fit-out page explains how we can help, and our jumps fittings cover the ground equipment around the runway and pit.
Long Jump Pit Equipment
Sand for long jump pits
A good landing area starts with the sand. Our Washed White Soft Sand is supplied for long jump and triple jump landing pits. You can see the full range of sand, covers and foundation equipment in our sandpits and foundation equipment collection.
Sandpit covers
Covering a pit between sessions keeps the sand cleaner and protects the landing area. The range includes a PVC sandpit cover with mesh, a steel roll-over, wheel-away cover for long jump and triple jump, and a retractable canvas cover over a concertina steel frame. The retractable cover is available for long jump, high jump or pole vault landing areas.
Foundation equipment and pit maintenance
The Hills foundation trough is a metal trough for long jump and triple jump, and it provides the foundation for the take-off board. When you are not using a take-off board or no-jump board, the Hills blanking board fills the gap. Once the pit is in use, keeping the sand level and tidy matters for every jump. We stock a wooden sandpit rake, an aluminium sandpit rake, a broom with soft or hard bristles and a watering can for the sand pit, so the landing area can be raked, brushed and dampened between jumpers.
Take-Off Boards for Long Jump and Triple Jump
The Hills take-off board with no-jump indicator is a complete board on a steel backing. If a board is worn, a replacement top is available separately. Hills also make a no-jump indicator board, a wooden board used without plasticine. Lifting hooks, in long or short versions, and an Allen key make it easier to fit and remove boards. Our range is compatible with both old and new style take-off boards and rules, so you can choose the setup that matches how your venue runs its competitions.
Officials’ Kit for Long Jump and Triple Jump
Officials need the right kit at the pit. For the no-jump board we stock a Softiplas and plasticine tool, no-jump modelling clay and a roller, and run-up marker tape helps mark out the runway. For measuring, the LaserLynx electronic distance measuring device (EDM) is built for athletics field events, and you can browse more in our electronic athletics meet management and measurement range. Traditional tape measures for athletics officials are also available.
What Equipment Do You Need for Long Jump?
A long jump facility needs a landing pit with soft sand, a take-off board with a no-jump indicator, run-up markers, rakes and brooms to keep the pit in condition, and measuring equipment for officials. Triple jump uses the same kind of pit and take-off board, so the range works for both events. For a longer explanation, read our guide to equipment for long jump, and if you would like help building a list for your club or school, get in touch.
Standing Long Jump and School Equipment
Standing long jump is a popular event in schools and sportshall sessions, where the athletes jump from a standing start onto a mat rather than into a sand pit. The Eveque Standing Long Jump Metromat is a foam mat that comes in three sizes and with a carry bag, so it can be set up and put away between sessions. Our Schools Jumping range has more equipment for school jumps sessions.
