High-Jump & Pole-Vault Landing Areas

UCS ANGULAX ADVANTAGE

UCS has made a major contribution to the state of the art of pole vault landing area with its innovative Angulax construction concept. Angulax design means that the landing area "angles away" from the plant box. Development engineers have designed a landing area system that can be placed within an inch of the plant box, eliminating pole contact with the landing area while not interfering with the bend of the pole. The bottom line: increased vaulting safety and dramatically improved performance by your athletes

TWO INCH TOP PAD
Every UCS landing area, from the Olympic models to the high school models, comes standard with our 2" (5cm) top pad. At UCS we feel that top pads should be a standard feature, not an option. Our 2" (5 cm) top pad is manufactured out of specially selected urethane foam and covered with a 14 x 12 spike resistant breather fabric. To make foam replacement more efficient each top pad is manufactured with our #11 rust resistant zipper.

UCS VTX ADVANTAGE
The VTX 1000 System, which is standard on UCS landing areas, binds the base and front units together, thus eliminating base and front unit shifting. The 21 ounce vinyl knife-coated material and 8" Velcro fastener strip components are designed, engineered and double lock stitched to give you years of rugged use. The bottom line: increased safety.

COACHES' BOX
The 8' x 10' Coaches' Box (a NFHS recommendation) is available at no additional charge. Available in any color shown.

VINYL MATERIAL
Sides & bottoms of all units are manufactured of 21 oz. knife coated vinyl composed of 5 oz. 840 denier nylon with a 23 x 23 construction and 16 oz. of liquid coated urethane that is spread over one side of the nylon material. The result - a 37 oz. equivalent vinyl that has the highest tear strength in the industry.

HARDWARE
Hardware is zinc coated, rust resistant steel.

HANDLES & ZIPPERS
UCS handles have a lifetime guarantee. Fabricated out of 3500 TC 2" nylon webbing and covered with 21 oz. vinyl knife coated material. The handles are box stitched to the side of the double reinforced vinyl base unit, below the zipper. The result - a zipper that is guaranteed for 7 years.

STITCHING
All seams and hems are double folded and double stitched with high tenacity 232 polyester thread with at least five stitches to the inch.

SPIKE RESISTANT BREATHER FABRIC
Tops of all base units, front units and both sides of the 2" top pads are manufactured out of 14 x 12 PVC extruded 1000 denier polyester.

FOAM
Our foam is engineered in a lattice formation with three different densities and three different compressions. No one else in the world uses this combination of densities and compressions that will outperform any other pit in the world.

UCS Strength & Speed

UCS Strength and Speed equipment provides you the foundation to build great athletes. Each piece of equipment is carefully designed to maximize workouts and durable enough to withstand the demands of an entire team. At UCS Strength and Speed, we don’t just build the highest quality equipment, we partner with our customers. We deliver quality so you deliver results.

Exclusive Linear Bearing Systems
UCS exclusively uses block and rail linear bearings. The unique system eliminates all “flex” and bouncing effects caused by tube and collar systems.

Padding
Continuing to revolutionize all aspects of equipment, UCS has development a unique stitch pattern, completely removing seams from high-pressure areas. This results in a more comfortable platform for the athlete as well as a more durable pad.

Hydraulic Piston
In an effort to enhance the efficiency of today’s strength facility, UCS utilizes a hydraulic piston to enable quick and safe adjustments from a seated position.

Hook Plate
In order to maintain the integrity of our 7-gauge steel systems, UCS racks feature our nickel-plated hook plate. Laser cut from ¾” steel, the smooth edges eliminate common pinch points. The nickel plating is guaranteed not to chip or rust.

7 Gauge Steel
Fully welded 7-gauge steel tubing, laser cut ¼” to ¾“ plating are exclusively used on all UCS Strength and Speed products.

HDPE Plastic
In order to protect the equipment and expensive training bars from metal to metal contact, UCS features highly resilient shatter proof HDPE coatings on all potential contact paint.

Side Entry Weight Storage
All UCS racks are available with optional side entry weight storage, allowing for the rack to be placed flush against the wall and allow for entry from the side for spotters.

Locking Accessories
The locking mechanisms used in our equipment are specially designed for our number one goal: safety. Bar holders, safety sport arms, and many other pieces utilize this feature allowing for quick repositioning.
