Product Description

Dual-Material Construction | 304/316L Stainless Steel Frame with Non-Slip Plastic Composite Surface

Engineered for the demanding conditions of competitive aquatic environments, our starting platforms and diving stands feature a hybrid construction that maximizes both structural integrity and athlete safety. The load-bearing framework is fabricated from premium 304 or 316L stainless steel, selected for exceptional resistance to chlorine corrosion, saltwater exposure, and chemical degradation—ensuring decades of reliable performance without rust or structural compromise.

FINA-Compliant Technical Specifications | SGS & ISO 9001 Certified Quality Assurance

Starting platform height: Surface positioned 50–70 cm above water level, with a minimum platform area of 50 cm × 50 cm and forward incline not exceeding 10°

Diving platform handgrip configuration: Front-mou

nted handrails positioned 30–60 cm above water surface, with horizontal grips parallel to water plane and vertical grips perpendicular, meeting FINA ergonomic standards

Starting edge profile: Front-edge thickness not exceeding 4 cm, complemented by integrated handgrip slots measuring minimum 40 cm in length, 10 cm in width on both sides, and 3 cm in depth

Corrosion Resistance, Non-Slip Surfaces & Clear Lane Identification | Designed for Long-Term Facility Operations

Corrosion-Proof Engineering
The combination of 304 / 316L stainless steel structural components and corrosion-resistant plastic surfaces ensures zero rust, no pitting, and no chemical degradation—even in saltwater pools or high-humidity indoor environments. This eliminates the maintenance burden of repainting or replacing corroded components, reducing lifecycle costs significantly.

Non-Slip Surface Performance
The textured plastic composite decking is engineered specifically for wet-zone applications, providing consistent friction coefficients that meet or exceed FINA surface traction requirements. Unlike painted metal surfaces that wear smooth over time, our non-slip material maintains its grip characteristics throughout the product’s service life.

Clear Lane & Position Marking
Each platform features prominently displayed Arabic numerals on all visible sides, ensuring clear lane identification from both deck level and across the pool. This facilitates efficient meet management, reduces confusion during relay exchanges, and enhances overall competition flow. Numerals are applied using UV-stable, chemical-resistant finishes that remain legible despite constant exposure to pool chemicals and cleaning protocols.
