Efficiency on the Infield: Why Quality Hurdle Carts Matter
For athletic directors and track coaches, the transition between events is often a race against the clock. Manually carrying hurdles one by one is not only inefficient but increases the risk of dropping and damaging expensive hurdle boards or frames. Our 2026 collection of hurdle carts focuses on institutional-grade durability and "track-safe" engineering. We prioritize carts with large, non-marking pneumatic tires or heavy-duty casters that can navigate over track curbs and soft grass without leaving ruts or causing damage to your expensive surfacing.
Built for High-Capacity Transport and Storage
We stock specifically chosen transport solutions to ensure your program can manage its equipment inventory safely and professionally.
- Multi-Hurdle Transport Carts: Our high-capacity carts, like the Blazer Universal Hurdle Cart, are designed to hold 10 to 20 hurdles in a single load. These units feature all-steel, powder-coated frames that resist rust and provide a low center of gravity to prevent tipping during transport.
- Hurdle Dollies: For smaller squads or indoor use, our compact hurdle dollies allow for easy maneuvering in tight equipment sheds or gymnasium hallways. These are essential for keeping hurdles organized during the off-season, preventing the "tangled mess" that often occurs when hurdles are simply leaned against a wall.
- Tractor-Towable Trailers: For large stadiums and collegiate facilities, we offer heavy-duty hurdle trailers equipped with tow hitches. These can be attached to a maintenance utility vehicle, allowing a small crew to set up an entire 8-lane, 110m hurdle flight in a fraction of the time it would take manually.
- Ergonomic Loading Designs: Most of our carts are engineered with a "drop-in" or "side-load" design, making it easier for student-athletes to load and unload hurdles without straining their backs or catching their fingers in the hurdle’s rocker mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many hurdles can a standard cart hold?
Most institutional hurdle carts are designed to hold between 10 and 20 hurdles per load. For a full 8-lane track (which requires 80 hurdles), having four high-capacity carts allows you to move and store the entire flight efficiently.
2. Are the tires safe for my all-weather track surface?
Yes. We prioritize carts equipped with pneumatic (air-filled) or large rubber tires. These spread the weight of the hurdles over a larger surface area, preventing high-pressure "point loads" that could indent or damage expensive polyurethane or latex track surfaces.
3. Do these carts work with all brands of hurdles?
Most of our carts are "universal," meaning they can accommodate L-style, Rocker, and Automatic hurdles from various manufacturers. However, some specialized "stacking" hurdles (like certain UCS models) perform best when paired with their brand-specific transport systems. Check the product specifications for compatibility.
4. Can these carts be used to store hurdles permanently?
Absolutely. In fact, storing hurdles on a cart is better for the equipment than stacking them on the ground. It keeps the weight off the bottom hurdle frames and ensures they are ready to be rolled out at a moment's notice, while also keeping your equipment shed organized and safe for foot traffic.
5. Is assembly required for hurdle carts?
Because of their size, most high-capacity carts are shipped via motor freight and require some basic assembly (attaching wheels and handles). We provide all necessary hardware and clear instructions to ensure your maintenance staff can have the cart operational in minutes.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for track and field carts?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and facility managers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase hurdle carts, hurdles, starting blocks, and landing systems for their entire athletic department.
