saltos_blog

Anyone who regularly sets up courses knows: a jump is not just a jump. Different ground and weather conditions require different solutions. That’s why we offer different models that clearly stand out: Soft, Intercan, Lite, and Base.

Here you get the differences at a glance – straight from practice.

Lite PVC & Soft Jump vs. Intercan PVC – One Concept, Three Jumps


Lite PVC and the Soft Jump rely on round PVC structures – lightweight, robust, and ideal for frequent training. But there are some differences in construction and function.

Lite PVC

very stable

The Lite PVC jump features a fully round structure with a diameter of 32 mm. The corresponding bar is also 32 mm wide. Despite its light weight, the jump is very stable and was specially developed for maximum flexibility in everyday training. Perfect for clubs, mobile trainers, or training halls with frequent equipment changes. The Lite PVC jump offers excellent value for money – without compromising quality. The arms are designed so the bar falls easily when knocked down and the arm doesn’t get stuck or jammed.

Product details: 

  • 100 cm, height adjustable from 5 to 65 cm
  • Weight: 6 kg

Soft Jump

premium model

The Soft is the premium model among the round PVC jumps – thoughtfully designed and high-quality through and through. Its seamless integrated structure with barely visible joints avoids protruding parts and minimizes injury risk to a minimum. Thanks to its light weight, the jump is especially easy to set up and transport. The curved foot also provides extra stability – even on uneven ground.

Product details:

  • 120 cm, height adjustable from 15 to 65 cm
  • Weight: 6 kg

INTERCAN PVC Jump

maximum stability

The INTERCAN PVC jump differs in some details from the Soft and Lite PVC versions: Its structure is not fully round but has rounded corners and a generous width of 40 cm. Like its aluminum counterpart, it has a 40 mm thick bar for maximum stability. The high-quality, reinforced PVC is especially durable and therefore ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Thanks to the curved feet, the jump stands securely – even in wind and weather.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Height adjustable from 10 to 65 cm
  • Structure 40 cm
  • Diameter pole 40 cm

With a total weight of only 5 kg, the jump is easy to transport – perfect for daily training use.
