Designed and manufactured in accordance with the Regulations of the International Association of Athletics Federations.
The standard consists of a set of two uprights with their respective rails for horizontal movement.
The base rail is a guiding structure made of steel profiles. The two longitudinal profiles of the rail are U-shaped and the base plate of the upright moves between them. At the upper part, it has 9 register holes to adjust the depth of the base every 10 cm.
The upright base is also made of steel and features four polypropylene wheels to move along the rail and a second four wheels to guide it and prevent contact between metal parts. It has an indexing plunger/blocking system that fixes the base in the position desired by the athlete. This position is indicated by a ruled sticker on the rail. Finally, the base has a vertical steel buttress which the upright is bolted onto and a tie-rod that stiffens the structure against lateral stress.
The uprights are made from an oval cross-section profile of extruded aluminum (120 x 100 mm) having a groove running along the side to allow the crossbar support to move. The crossbar holder can be moved manually with a handle that operates an internal strap connected to it. A visual indicator of the height at which the crossbar is placed is mounted on the drive shaft, which is fitted with a brake to prevent the crossbar holder from falling.
The crossbar holder is made from 10mm thick polycarbonate.
The adjustment device of the upright and the base allows to set a height between 181 and 643 cm and at a depth between 0 and 80 cm behind the zero line.
The base rails are fitted with a handy wheel system on one side of the rails, which allows the Standard to be folded up and moved from use location to storage location.
The bases, the rails, the uprights, the stiffener profiles, and the crossbar holders are finished with a powder coating. All bolts and nuts are made of stainless steel.
