Professional Training Cones and Marker Pylons for Precision Drills
1 to 7 (from a total of 7)
Technical Requirements for Professional Training Pylons
Unlike standard traffic cones, athletic training pylons must meet specific biomechanical and material criteria. The primary requirement is the reduction of injury risk. High-quality pylons are manufactured from soft PVC, which yields in a controlled manner upon physical contact or when stepped on, without splintering or losing permanent structural integrity.Material Composition and Mechanical Durability
The choice of material determines both service life and safety. While entry-level pylons often consist of brittle plastics, Sportikel24 utilizes thermoplastic elastomers or specialized soft PVC. These materials remain elastic even at low temperatures, enabling year-round use on training grounds. A critical technical aspect is UV stabilization, which prevents the fading of signal colors and the embrittlement of the molecular structure caused by solar radiation.| Pylon Type | Standard Heights | Material | Technical Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marker Pylon | 30 cm - 38 cm | Polyethylene (PE) | Lightweight, highly stackable |
| Multipurpose Pylon | 38 cm - 50 cm | Soft PVC | Includes bores for hurdle poles |
| Heavy-Duty Pylon | 50 cm | Recycled Rubber/PVC | High wind stability (self-weight) |
Integration into Hurdle Systems
A unique technical feature of many pylons in our range is the multi-hole perforation. This allows the insertion of hurdle poles at various heights and angles. Through this modular construction, pylons can be transformed into variable coordination hurdles within seconds. When purchasing, ensure the bore diameter (standardized at 25 mm) is compatible with your existing pole systems to maintain technical synergy.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the advantage of soft PVC over hard plastic pylons?
Soft PVC pylons drastically minimize the risk of injury. If an athlete steps on the pylon, it collapses inward and then springs back to its original shape. Hard plastic, conversely, can break and form sharp edges, posing a significant safety risk, especially in youth training.
How stable are the pylons in high wind conditions?
Stability results from the base geometry and the pylon's self-weight. For wind-prone open areas, we recommend pylons with a square, widened base or models made from a heavier rubber compound that feature a lower center of gravity.
