Throwing and shot put disciplines
 General Shot put facilities on running tracks or on regional school sports grounds should be equipped for use by those with disabilities by ensuring that the athletes can attach and secure the throwing chair without any great effort.

If you are going to use such accessories, we recommend coating the parts cast in concrete with bitumen paint. All W & H shot put rings correspond with IAAF regulations. | Material The throwing rings (available in various designs) are made of stable right-angled aluminium profiles. Design All throwing rings are designed in two parts and are screwed into place on site using the accompanying screws and nuts. The fact that there are no struts (which are not needed thanks to the sturdy aluminium ring profiles) makes installation easier |
