For detailed information please read below in the text, for direct purchase interest we recommend our online store.
Ground sockets for sports equipment
inconspicuous but important!
They are quite inconspicuous and usually not seen. Nevertheless, ground sockets for sports equipment fulfill very important functions: They ensure a stable and safe installation of the sports equipment and, as a special ground socket, can be closed when the sports equipment is dismantled and, if necessary, coated with artificial turf or the running track surface so that they optimally match the adjacent ground surface in terms of appearance.
Ground sockets – Technology from artec® Sportgeräte
At artec® Sportgeräte you can get a large number of different types of ground sockets. The high product quality of our sockets is developed in-house by a technically experienced and highly motivated team and ensured in handcrafted production at the company site in Melle. Through this, we have built a name for ourselves as a quality leader in the field of sports equipment manufacturing, so that these are known in the market as technically advanced and durable products. A lot of detail work goes into our products, making them unique and distinctive. These services as well as our short delivery times are honored by our customers, so that they always like to come back to artec®.
Our ground sockets basically differ in the two types “Standard” and “Special” as well as the different aluminum profiles and installation depths used. In the following we would like to present these types comprehensively:
Standard ground sockets
Our standard ground sockets are made of high quality and durable aluminum profiles with loose cover. This simple design guarantees extreme durability and longevity due to its robust and stable construction.
Special ground sockets
The (partly patented) special ground sockets from artec® Sportgeräte are also made of high-quality and durable aluminum profiles. These designs are manufactured with a permanently attached and trough-shaped tilt cover, which can be coated with plastic surfacing or artificial turf so that these sockets visually blend in with the adjacent surfacing. When a piece of sports equipment is mounted, the tilting lid is tilted into the lid pocket via an internal running rail, where it is safely and optimally stowed. The cover pocket is drained into the drainage layer by means of a plastic pipe.
Special designs of ground sockets
We also supply our sockets in various special designs. In addition to lockable and tiltable variants (for example with tilt joint for flagpoles, protective grids, etc.), these also include designs that are adjustable in inclination and height. In addition, we also manufacture sockets with reversible adapters, such as those used for beach volleyball. For the attachment of mobile soccer goals, team cabins or even the covering of long jump pits, we can also supply appropriate clamping ground sockets.
Other components for floor mounting
In addition to the ground sockets, artec® Sportgeräte also supplies other installation parts for fixing to the ground. These include, for example, the following products:
- Plastic snap-on cover sockets for corner flags
- Adapter to extend the goal posts (e.g. handball goals, recreational goals goals)
- Ground anchors for setting in concrete (e.g. for team cabins, recreational goals, etc.)
- Ground pegs for flexible play and training on a lawn area
- Spiral anchor for example for the cover for the ground frame of soccer goals
Many different uses
The uses of sockets for sports equipment are very diverse. Of course, the first thing is always to ensure the stability and sturdiness of the sports equipment in order to provide the athletes with optimal conditions and safety. In addition, the sockets also fulfill other important functions such as the precise alignment of sports equipment or the temporary de-installation of sports equipment (for example, tilt floor sockets for the posts of safety fences).
