3.8m Vertec Vertical Jump Tester (Multi Colour, Weighted Base)

Test vertical jumps, with measurement heights between 1.3m and 3.8m and increments of just 1cm, for granular measurement. The plastic vanes are multi coloured, for more accurate reading, with less mistakes. There are 10 vanes per colour group.

Height adjustment is done easily, via hand-twist bolt.

The stand is made from painted steel for stability, with a weighted base (water filled), with wheels for moving it around.

This particular model uses a pole to reset the vanes after each jump.

The tallest of our vertical jump testers, adjustable from 1.3 to 3.8m, 10kg, in painted steel and ABS on a wheeled and weighted base that moves around without requiring carrying.

• Test procedure. Measure standing reach first, then a countermovement jump with an arm swing, and subtract one from the other. Three attempts at most. You'll need to adjust the set-up height between the 2 tests.
• The widest range in the set. The 1.3m bottom setting is the lowest of our Vertec testers and the 3.8m top setting the highest.

Which Vertec to choose

Of our Vertec testers, this one covers the widest range, 1.3m to 3.8m, so the single unit works for both junior and senior athletes. The base is weighted and wheeled, so one person can move it around without taking it apart.

How does it compare with the other jump testers?

It has the widest range of our Vertec testers, from 1.3m at its lowest setting to 3.8m at its highest. It is lighter at just 10kg when unfilled, though weighs more after filling the base with water. The wheeled and weighted base means it rolls around without being dismantled. The reading is taken by eye off the coloured vanes.
