Lock-In Crossbars

Description

Lock-In Crossbars convert standard game cones into hurdles, barriers, and elevated boundary markers by spanning between two cones at an adjustable height. This accessory transforms a basic cone inventory into a versatile obstacle and agility training system without purchasing dedicated hurdle equipment — a significant cost advantage for PE programs that need to stretch their equipment budgets across multiple activity types.

Each crossbar locks into the slots or openings on compatible game cones, creating a stable horizontal bar between two cone bases. By adjusting which slot the crossbar engages, PE teachers can set different barrier heights for different age groups, skill levels, and activity types. Low settings create step-over obstacles for agility courses, mid-height settings provide hurdle challenges for running drills, and upper settings create boundary barriers that students must navigate around rather than over.

The crossbar-and-cone combination is lighter and safer than traditional rigid hurdles. If a student catches a foot or shin on the crossbar during a hurdle attempt, the crossbar dislodges from the cones rather than causing the student to trip over a rigid, weighted structure. This knock-away safety feature makes crossbar hurdles appropriate for PE environments where students of varying ability levels are attempting obstacles, and where the risk tolerance is lower than in competitive track and field settings.

Lock-In Crossbars pair with the 18″ Color My Class Game Cones, 12″ Colored Cones, and 28″ Game Cones to create hurdle and barrier systems. Browse all physical education equipment.
