Foam pit

A pit from PE-Redskaber can consist of a foam pad or loose foam cubes, with or without height adjustment function, and can be open or closed with edge pads.


The foam pad is the "heart" of the pit. The quality of the foam is of the utmost importance. It must have the right hardness to provide optimum safety. The foam pad has a cover of stretch fabric of a strong quality. The fabric is divided into 3 colours to give the gymnast better orientation in the air, and thus greater safety. The use of loose foam increases the safety of multi-rotations with and without twists. The risk of injury, in case of an accidental landing, is minimized.

The lift (raising/lowering mechanism) offers an incredible number of possibilities - first of all as a jumping platform for practising and learning new jumps and techniques. PE-Redskaber installs pits which can be raised up to 220 cm - of course with fixed safety covers so that no one can fall underneath.

Closed pits can be installed in halls where other sport activities are also taking place. A neat transition is provided between the fixed and the movable floor, so that handball, football and badminton, for example, can be played both on and next to the closed pit.

The edge pads provide extra safety that significantly reduces the risk of a user or gymnast hitting the edges of the pit.

Quality makes the pit a good investment

We never compromise on quality

We know that a pit is a big investment. But when it comes to materials and craftsmanship, we never compromise. And the higher the quality, the more durable and longer the life of your foam pit in the end, which is why quality also helps determine whether your pit is a good investment.


Pits with lots of possibilities

A pit gives you (even) more possibilities to make the most of your gym space:

  • Other sports can be played on the floor when the pit is closed and not in use
  • Avoiding heavy lifting of landing mats
  • Allows users to learn new jumps - with many repetitions and soft landings 

You can adjust the landing height quickly and easily. PE-Redskabers manufactures pits which can be raised up to 220 cm. 

A partner you can talk to from the first sketch to the final installation

"Well begun is half done." That's why we make sure these questions (and many more) are clarified at the initial stage:

  • What are the actual needs of the users of the pit? 
  • How long can the run-up be?
  • How high will the ceiling above the pit be?
  • Is the location of the pit appropriate in relation to the other activities in the hall?
Your answers will help us to achieve our goal of tailoring a solution to your specific needs. And we'll be with you every step on the way to the finished pit.

Your security is our responsibility

For us the safety of our users is first priority. That's why we've taken every step to make our pits as safe as possible.
All our edge pads are fixed onto the floor so that the gymnast does not risk falling into a gap

The edge pads are made of firm foam, which ensures that the gymnast does not pass through to the floor

All assemblies are made so that fingers and toes cannot get underneath them and get stuck

The trampolinestop (front edge pad) is only 9,2 mm wide which allows the trampoline to be placed very close to the landing foam for example
The safety edge pad at the end of the foam pad prevents the gymnast from falling into the floor underneath the pit when jumping too far

The edge pad prevents a child from falling between the floorboard and the foam pad

Large full-height plate in the A-hole prevents persons from crawling or falling next to the floorboard
On the recommendation of the Danish Working Environment Authority, we have also chosen to install an extra safety system as a standard feature in all of our pits

All height adjustment systems are equipped with an extra safety shield around the wire wheels to minimize the risk of injury if the pit is not used as directed by PE-Redskaber

The power is automatically disconnected if a person steps under the trampoline and/or foam pad - the system must then be restarted by the caretaker/ hall supervisor or other trained person

During cleaning/service, the "installation key" is placed in the key box down in the hole - it prevents the restart function up in the gym, which means no operation while people are in the hole!

After cleaning/service the system is restarted in the gym and the control panels can be used again for the lift cushions etc.
