Description
Overview
When jumpers start clearing greater heights, the Air Cell Crash Pad 500mm gives them more depth to land into than the school-level pads. It is a Silver Fern pad, 3 m by 1.5 m and 500 mm high, built with urethane cell foam, a PVC cover, breather panels and reinforced handles.
The 500 mm height sits between the 400 mm and 600 mm pads in the range. Like the rest of the range it is suited to school or club use at lower levels as a single pad, and several can be combined into a set with a top cover for competition. It also appears in our crash mats & pads category for gymnastics.
Key benefits
- Deeper 500 mm foam section for athletes landing from greater heights.
- Urethane cell foam and breather panels cushion the landing and recover quickly.
- PVC cover wipes down and tolerates being dragged out onto a field.
- Reinforced handles spread the load when two people carry the pad.
- Joins with matching pads under a top cover for a competition landing area.
Who it's for
Suits secondary schools and athletics clubs whose jumpers have outgrown a thinner pad, and gymnastics clubs needing a deeper landing for vault or bar dismounts in training. Where budget is tight and heights are modest, the Air Cell Crash Pad – 400mm does the job for less bulk.
Clubs building a competition area usually go to the Air Cell Crash Pad – 600mm and order several pads with a top cover. Our reps can put a whole landing area, stands and bar onto one quote.
Care, safety and set-up
As a made to order product this pad is built once your order is confirmed, and its size means freight is quoted rather than charged at a flat rate. Add it to a quote and request a quote; schools and clubs can also ask about funding packages.
Keep the pad dry and store it flat or on its edge in a dry shed. Carry it by the reinforced handles, and never let athletes jump onto it unsupervised.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose 500 mm over 400 mm?
The extra thickness gives more foam to absorb a landing, which matters as jumpers clear higher bars. For lower school heights the 400 mm pad is enough.
Can I combine this pad with others for competition?
Yes. Pads are combined into a set with a top cover to be used in competition. Tell us how many pads you need and we will quote the set.
Is there a lead time?
Yes, it is made to order, so allow time for manufacture before dispatch. Our team will confirm timing when they quote freight.
