Three-piece steel plyo set
One box teaches you to jump. Three teach you to progress.
A single plyo box is a height you either clear or you do not. This is a stepped set — a low box to learn the landing, a middle box to build it, and a tall box for the day you have earned it. The smaller two nest inside the largest, so the whole set stores in one footprint.
The three heights, and what each one is for
Those footprints are measured across the base, which is the widest part of the frame. Each box is a trapezoid, so the top deck you land on is smaller than the base. We have asked the supplier to publish the deck dimensions and we will add them here once we have them in writing rather than estimate them for you.
Construction
Bolted, not welded — and that is worth knowing
Each box is square-section steel tube with a black powder-coated finish. The top frame arrives made up; the four legs bolt to it with the supplied hardware and wrench. That is a normal, strong way to build a plyo box, and it is why the set ships flat and stores nested.
It also means the frame has fasteners that can loosen under repeated impact. Nip them up after the first few sessions and check them periodically after that. A bolted frame is not a worse frame — it is one that asks for thirty seconds of attention now and then.
The deck
A ribbed steel platform, not a bare flat plate
The top of each box is a flat deck covered edge to edge in fine parallel ribs. Ribbing is what gives a trained shoe something to bite on when a foot arrives at speed, and it sheds sweat instead of holding a film of it.
Train in shoes on it. It is a hard surface with a defined edge, and it is not designed for bare feet.

How people get hurt on a plyo box
Almost nobody is injured by the box failing. They are injured by a missed rep. The shin catches the edge of the deck on the way up, or the ankle rolls on a landing taken too tired, or the box slides because it was set on a rug. None of that is exotic — it is the ordinary failure mode of this whole category, and it is preventable.
- Set it on a flat, non-slip floor. Rubber gym tiles or bare concrete. Never a rug, a mat that slides, a polished or dusty floor, or anything uneven. The bottom rails are bare steel and they will slide on a slick surface.
- Press down on the deck before every session. If the box rocks at all, stop and find out why before you load it.
- Clear the space. Nothing behind you, nothing to either side, nothing you could catch a foot on.
- Step down between reps, do not jump down. Jumping down multiplies the force through your ankles and knees for no training benefit, and it is where tired landings go wrong.
- Start lower than your ego wants. The right box is the one you can land quietly and in control, every rep of the set.
- Check the bolts. After the first few sessions and regularly after that. Retire any box with a bent leg, an egg-shaped bolt hole or a joint that has opened up.
- Not for children, and not for unsupervised use. This is adult training equipment with a hard edge at shin height.
What we are not going to tell you
Pages in this category tend to print a big round load number. We are not going to, because we do not have a load test we can stand behind for this specific set. What exists is a figure the factory quotes for frames of this design, published without a test standard and without saying whether it is a static load or an impact load. On a plyo box that distinction is the whole question: a landing puts several times your bodyweight through the deck in a fraction of a second.
So rather than repeat a number we cannot source, here is the honest guidance. This is a steel frame built for adult training use. Do not stack it with loaded barbells or use it as a lifting platform. Do not put two people on it. If you are near the heavier end of adult bodyweight, work the lower boxes and step rather than jump until you have a feel for how the frame behaves. We are chasing a documented rating from the supplier and this page will be updated the day we have one.
The previous version of this page also described the joints and the floor contact in terms the supplier's own photographs do not support. We have corrected both above and left the corrections visible rather than quietly deleting them.
What arrives, and what you do with it
It ships flat. Deck panels, legs, frames, and a bag of bolts and nuts with a small wrench. Assembly is required and it is not optional.
Build each box. Four legs bolt to each top frame. Leave every bolt finger-tight until the box is square, then go round and tighten properly.
Nest and store. The 12 and 18 drop inside the 24, so the set parks against a wall in the footprint of the largest box.
The set is black throughout. Assembly hardware and a wrench are included; no other tools are needed.
Specifications
We list only what we can see in the supplier's own photography or read in their documentation. Steel gauge, wall thickness and a tested load rating are not published for this set, so they are not listed here. Ask us before you order if any of them decides your purchase.
Buy the height you can land, not the one you can reach
Three boxes means you are never choosing between a height that is too easy and one that is a gamble. Start low, land quietly, and move up when the landing stops being interesting.
