Timber portable PE equiment...
Continental manufacture a range of traditional timber PE equipment, from vaulting boxes and springboards to benches and agility planks. We are the UK leaders in PE equipment.

On this page:

For equivalent apparatus manufactured from steel and aluminium, please see our metal portable equipment here.

   
 

Vaulting box

Traditional 5 section box with padded top. Upholstered in hide.

An optional retractable integral transporter system is available and is strongly recommended.

It is more cost-effective to have the transporter fitted at the time of manufacture rather than at a later date.

PLEASE NOTE: Most customers who choose not to have the transporter gear fitted when they buy the box (especially the 'B' size box) ask to have it retro-fitted at a later date to make it easier to use the box. Without the tranporter gear, the box must be carried manually which may be a health and safety issue. The price for retro-fitting the transporter gear is significantly in excess of the price to have it fitted when new. To retro-fit the transporter we require your box to be returned to our factory which results in additional costs.

The above image shows an 11' (3.4m) bench suitable for secondary school / senior usage

 

The above image shows an 8' 9" (2.7m) bench suitable for secondary school or general purpose usage

 

The above image shows a 6' (1.8m) bench suitable for primary school usage

The above image shows bench hooks. Standard benches are in the traditional configuration of hooks at one end. f they will not be used for linking and bridging, then benches are available without hooks, or for more flexibility, hooks can be specified at both ends.

After extensive field testing we have recently switched from traditional steel hooks with hook rubbers, to a more modern, non-marking white polypropylene hook as shown above. As well as being extremely hard wearing, this new hook has the added benefit of no requirement for replacement hook rubber.

Lightweight foam springboard

This junior lightweight foam springboard is a fantastic addition for the junior and lighter gymnasts in your gym.

It can be used by smaller gymnasts for simple apparatus mounting activities such as onto beam and uneven bars, or for play groups and infant classes as a fun introduction to standard springboards.

The springboard features a traditional timber and foam block spring system with a foam covering all enclosed in a brightly coloured attractive pvc cover.

The PVC cover is fixed with an integral zip and is fully removable and replaceable. The optimum spring zone is marked with a white sewn in pvc circular target.

The springboard is the same size but approximately half the weight of a traditional school springboard and is easily carried by children using the integral nylon webbing carry handle.

The fully enclsoed pvc cover removes the finger traps and hard edges of standard springboards, making this a more fun and easier piece of apparatus for children to use safely.

The underside of the springboard features a fully sewn in anti-slip waffle textured pvc base.
