MH Goals is delighted to announce its new Stadium Box Goal has been officially recognised as a FIFA Quality Product.

This latest top accreditation for us has been a number of years in the making, and has been a key aim for the company since the new standard was announced by FIFA.

The new quality standard was an opportunity to overhaul and redesign our popular top of the range box goal, to not only pass this new standard but also give clubs and schools an outstanding and innovative product.

The goals have a number of special features, including external micro height adjustment, strengthened aluminium section and a new net attachment system which is encapsulated into the goal frame using MH Goals’ Hold Fast net hooks. The folding net rail has been upgraded and now includes a ground locking system, added strengthening wire to the nets and upgraded the net support system to included heavy duty straps and failsafe wire.

The renowned accreditation builds on the safety standard BSEN748 and BSEN16579, but requires a number of other key workplace polices. These include the companywide quality standard ISO9001, having an independent work place assessment to World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry standards (WFSGI) and specific FIFA approved insurances.

The goals were then tested by an approved FIFA test house, to the latest FIFA safety standards.

‘This new pro goal has been in progress for some time so it’s great to not only introduce it to the football world but also to have the all-important FIFA accreditation to go with it,” said Sales Director Matthew Harrod. “At MH Goals we strive to be at the forefront of the market with our range of unique British manufactured products but also to have the international quality marks and accreditations to back it up’.

The new Stadium Box Goal will make its Premier League appearance at the start of the 2023/24 season and is available to purchase now.

Firstly, we’ve implemented a new net retention system. This removes the rachet and strap from the back of the goal that would often become broken over time. In its place we now have a reinforced top wire (like our FIFA Pro Box Goal) along with straining bolts. This not only keeps the net tighter for longer, but also removes the temptation to over-rachet the net which causes damage to the goal.

We’ve also reinforced the internal front joints which has enabled us to remove the front lower brace from the goal. By doing this there’s no risk of a goal being disallowed due to it striking and then rebounding off this brace.

As more and more clubs move to having a 3G pitch as their main playing surface, it’s important to keep on top of the safety requirements, which include the wheels. Our Evo wheel already passes the BSEN16579 safety standard, but following feedback we have now started to produce a foam cover for these wheels. The Evo wheel has a unique feature which enables the user to remove the small turn handle, so now once this has been removed the wheel can be completely covered, leaving a small access hole at the top for the long reach handle to be used. This enables the wheel to not only be covered but the goals can still be moved as well.

In 2018 we were the first in the UK to bring out a new wheel that conformed to the latest safety standard BSEN16579. It’s since become standard across our range of freestanding wheel goals. The Evolution wheel was granted its patent back in 2020 and we’re delighted to announce that the Revolution goal has now been granted its patent as well.

We released the unique Revolution lift and lower swivel wheel back in 2020 – with its all-terrain tyre, great ground clearance and ability to work on both synthetic pitches and any type of grass pitch, it’s unique in the marketplace. The ability to easily move it, even through tight accesses and narrow gateways, meant it swiftly became a firm favourite with our customers.  

Gaining a patent (GB2602269) for this goal further reinforces our commitment to product innovation, quality and value for our customers. The Revolution goal is available in a range of sizes, models and can be found here.

ISO 9001 is defined as the internationally recognised standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). It is the most widely used QMS standard in the world, and is globally-accepted as an indicator of exceptional service and products.

To be awarded this prestigious recognition, we had to demonstrate our ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. We also needed to show we aim to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system.

Applying for the standard gave us the opportunity to closely examine the way we operate across our business, from goal design and manufacturing to our customer service. The 12 month process has resulted in a number of new systems being implemented and the introduction of a dedicated quality manager into the company. ISO 9001 also requires continuous review and assessment in order to retain this standard so you can be assured that our products will always be the highest quality.

Having ISO 9001:2015 is another step in our constant drive for the highest standards.

It sits alongside our approved supplier status with the football foundation, membership of the International Hockey Federations quality programme and MH Goals MD Mark Harrod’s role as an independent expert for the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).

The post Covid-19 Statement appeared first on MHGoals Ltd..

The biggest change to goal post safety in recent years was the introduction of BSEN16579 which overhauled the old BS8462 standard. This new standard addressed a number of safety issues and has been well received by the public.

However, goal testing is an ever-evolving beast and we are always looking to improve future goal testing, and asking what else can be done to increase safety and make the tests more applicable to real world applications.

With this in mind, along with a select few European manufactures and the support of the BSI and the CEN committee (The European Committee for Standardisation), MH Goals has created a new testing method and apparatus which will form part of the next football safety standard.

The current standard uses a vertical and horizontal pull test but this doesn’t take into consideration how somebody would actually interact with the goal should they want to swing on the crossbar. We also wanted to add to this how the difference in the length of the runback can have an impact on the stability of a freestanding goal.

These issues has been discussed in the past but no conclusive testing data or apparatus had been put forward until MH Goals started investigating this back in June. A number of parameters had to be set in order to make the testing relevant and realistic, including the size of the goals, the mass (weight) to be swung off the crossbar, the angle of the swing and how the weights were too be hung. It was decided that we would test both the 24x8ft and 12x6ft goals as they are the most popular size in the UK with a range of back bar weights. The weight hung from the crossbar would range from 74- 192kg, this covered the average weight of a single child to two average adults.

The angle of 60 degrees was chosen as it would give a large amount of initial inertia to see the effect on the goal and was deemed to be more realistic within the constraints of the goal and the human body. In order to get stable and reliable data MH Goals had to design and build a new testing rig that replicated the swinging motion of a person hanging from the crossbar. To achieve this we created a steel basket/cradle that was able to safely hold a varying amount of different masses which was attached to a remote operation release hook and our standard goal testing rig.

Overall MH Goals has now conducted hundreds of tests with varying weights across both goal sizes. This has offered a real insight into the correlation between the swing mass, weight inside the goals and the difference in stability of goals with a reduced runback length. The data gained from these tests and our previous testing in March is now being correlated with the rest of the CEN committee and will be made available in the near future. However these tests prove beyond doubt the importance of continuing to review and adapt current methods of testing in order to produce safe sports equipment now and in the future.

The post Leading the way on goal post safety and design appeared first on MHGoals Ltd..

MH Goals is run by Mark Harrod, the UK’s only recognised independent expert on goalpost safety, design and manufacturing, so the safety of the products we manufacture is, and always has been, paramount.

This is why every product we make conforms to the latest safety standards – and why for the last three years we have been busy testing and improving our goals to conform to BSEN16579, the newest safety standard which came into effect in 2018 and which all goals made in the UK must conform to.

BSEN16579 has brought with it a number of significant changes to how all goals should be tested and manufactured. Greater attention is paid to shear points, and the dangers of finger, limb and head entrapment. Goals must now pass a more stringent tip test, greater force is applied to the goal frames in the strength tests, and there is now a new category for mediumweight goals which must pass their own set of requirements.

We carry out two levels of testing on our goals, firstly in-house throughout the design and prototype stage, then at Labosport, the Football Foundation’s preferred test laboratory. This process of check and double check means you can buy goals from MH Goals with complete confidence in their safety and quality.

In all, dozens of tests are carried out on our goals before a safety certificate is issued. These are performed using a range of specialised equipment, including a set of probes and a high-grade steel rig which can apply over 3,000 Newton metres of pressure. You can find out more about these tests here.

And while all MH Goals goalposts are BSEN16579 compliant, we’re not resting on our laurels. Safety standards are constantly evolving and we have recently completed extensive research on the stability of freestanding goals in conjunction with the British Standards Institution and the European Committee for Standardisation. This research has been discussed at the highest level in Europe at the annual CEN meeting in Berlin, and will now go forward to shape the next generation of goal design and safety testing, of which we will – of course – be at the forefront.

Our current lift and lower wheel can be found at thousands of sports facilities across the UK and has become the mainstay of portable aluminium goals. However, with the introduction of BSEN16579 the design had to change to conform to this rigorous new safety standard. This may be a problem for other companies but where they see barriers, MH Goals sees opportunity.

The new Lift and Lower Evolution addresses many issues of the previous design while keeping the practicality and ease of use that the original wheel was praised for. The compact design makes for a safer product with no parts protruding past the wheel when the goal is in its lowered or playing position. This means that all solid parts are now covered by the rubber wheel, forming a barrier between players and any moving parts.

Our new design also reduces the chance of finger entrapment by decreasing and covering any gaps. A key element of the old design was the cantilever handle which is now banned under BSEN16579 as it creates a shear point and could cause possible injury; we have addressed this with the introduction of our easy to use turn handle. With just a few turns the goal is easily raised off the ground and ready to be moved. All goals will also have an extended handle which can be used at standing height making lifting and lowering the goal accessible to all.

The patent pending Lift and Lower Evolution is standard across our 100mm aluminium range from 2019 and along with a raft of other improvements makes our goals the safest and easiest to use on the market.

At the start of this season the FA released new guidelines for Mini Soccer and Futsal and how they can work together to support youth football.

Futsal is a fast paced indoor variant of the game which has its roots in South America. It is played with a size 4 football on a smaller pitch, which improves close control. Many of the world’s finest footballers, including Messi and Ronaldo, have said Futsal was integral to their development.

By allowing Futsal to be played in mini soccer leagues throughout the winter months not only keeps children out of the worst of the British weather but also promotes new skills, strategies and greater freedom and enjoyment of the game.

Futsal must be played with a 3m x 2m goal that meets the latest safety standards, so to support clubs and venues that wish to get involved with this exciting sport we have reduced the price of our aluminium Indoor Folding Futsal Goals to an unbelievable £500.00 per pair, which includes VAT and delivery – saving you over £250! What’s more, this Futsal goal offer is open to everyone so there’s no need for discount codes or vouchers – just head over to our special offers page or call 01502 711298 for more details.

Football goal net hooks are one of the most commonly used items in the game and never a day passes without a groundsman, player or volunteer twisting and turning them into an aluminium goal. The design has remained unchanged for many years. Until now.

With the introduction of the new BSEN16579:2018 standard, the current net hook system needed changing as the chances of finger entrapment in the aluminium channels and limb entrapment from unattached netting are too high.

To replace it we have designed the Holdfast Net Hook system. By clamping the net into the channel of the aluminium it not only reduces the chance of limb and head entrapment but also makes the hook far stronger and less likely to come out.

Our new Holdfast Net Hook works in harmony with any of MH Goals new BSEN16579 conforming 100mm and 80mm aluminium football range and is a huge improvement over the old enclosed hook.

By redesigning our aluminium goals from the ground up we have been able to incorporate the net and the Holdfast hook into the body of the aluminium giving a stronger and more durable fixing. Unlike other net hooks the Holdfast system clamps the net into the bespoke channel of our aluminium goals which keeps the net neat and tidy.

The Holdfast Net Hook is made from hard wearing UV protected nylon and made right here in the UK.

The new Holdfast system has been rolled out across our entire aluminium football range so that everyone from Premier League to grassroots clubs can benefit from this innovative new system. Get in touch with us if you have any questions or need free advice on this, or any other safety issue.

When we moved to our ¾ acre site eighteen months ago we were using the units that were originally here. While these are fine for general use, when it came to the exacting nature of our work they were far from ideal.

This meant building our own factory was the first priority as it allowed us to speed up production and manufacture our sport equipment to the high standard we insist on. Once we had that in place we turned our attention to our offices.

Designing from scratch gave us the ability to create a building that met our needs precisely, so now we’re in it means our administration will be far smoother, we can offer even better customer service and continue with our expansion plans.

Of course, as well as being practical we wanted it to look good as well, so as a finishing touch we’ve decorated the interior with graphics and images of some of our goals, plus installed a fantastic grass wall!

Sports equipment safety has been an integral part of Mark’s career for over 40 years, and he has advised on many of the standards that have been conceived and implemented in the UK and Europe.

Mark was initially brought in as an industry expert for the BSI in the early nineties when he advised on the first European sports equipment standard EN 748. Through a process of rigorous testing, product redesign and consistently pressing the need for change, BSEN748 was successfully implemented and has been the benchmark for sports equipment safety ever since.

Although this was a breakthrough for equipment safety, BSEN748 didn’t cover smaller sized football goals. In 2004 Mark was again asked to advise on the revision of the PAS standard with a number of football’s governing bodies, including the FA and the Football Foundation. This lead to the new BS8462 safety standard, which covered small sided football goals, Mark was also involved in the revision of this standard in 2012 to include the new 9v9 football goals size.

Mark Harrod and MH Goals are still at the very forefront of sports equipment safety, and have been advising the BSI and CEN on the new BSEN16579 safety standard which will come into full effect in July this year. Mark currently sits as a technical expert on CEN/TC 136 advising on manufacturing, safety and test methods for goals and is one of only a hand full of these experts worldwide.

If you would like details on the new standard or would like to discuss any aspect of goal post safety please contact us and talk to Mark direct on 01502 711298.

Pressure Jet Markers was formed off the back of Peacock & Holmes Ltd who started making line-marking machines in 1951. The first was called the Holmes Jet Marker.

What made this machine different to its competitors was the deliberate omission of a transfer wheel. Instead it used a high-pressure jet to spray paint directly onto the grass – the first line marker ever to do so. This was done by a rotary pump driven by the rear wheels, which drew the liquid from the five-gallon tank, all of which was controlled by a hand lever.

In 1952 a third director and engineer called Hugo Varley joined the company, bringing with him much-needed investment and expertise. The three men decided to rename the company after its promising new product, and so Pressure Jet Markers Ltd was born.

In order to propel the company forward they moved to larger premises in Stamford Brook, Hammersmith, and worked on increasing the product range and raising the profile of Pressure Jet Markers Ltd. During this time the range expanded to include new line markers (both hand and tractor drawn), power pumps, hedge cutters, athletic hurdles and even starting blocks. They also started exhibiting at Hurlingham (the forerunner to IOG SALTEX) and their markers were receiving rave reviews – after seeing the machine at the 1953 show, the horticultural correspondent at the Times described it as ‘The most ingenious machine at the show’.

Things were going well for Pressure Jet Markers and in the late 50s they released the first power driven line marker. It was highly mobile, powerful and capable of carrying 30 gallons (135 litres) of line marking material. It was a revelation at the time, and though the price of £150 meant it was out of the reach of most clubs, councils and large organisations showed great interest in this labour-saving machine.

Throughout the 60s and 70s PJM expanded further, moving again to larger premises and turning their attention to a range of more budget friendly transfer wheel machines. It was during this period that one of the world’s finest transfer wheel line marking machines was born – The Dimple. The machine was a revelation, using a unique dimpled transfer wheel that was far superior at moving and distributing the paint from tank to pitch. It was made from a solid piece of cast iron and the extra weight aided the definition of the line it produced.

The Dimple machine’s quality was soon recognised and within a very short time it was being used at some of the country’s finest venues including Wembley, Wimbledon, and The Queen’s Club. It became the byword for marking quality and is still used at many Premier League clubs and other elite venues today.

In the 1980s a new motorised dry line marker was produced – the MDL1. It was an incredibly durable machine which could lay a line in the worst conditions, and had been designed to a very high specification. However with quality comes a price, and at £840.00 (the equivalent to around £2,500 in today’s money) the machine never really took off.

As the years went by, the Pressure Jet Markers and motor powered machines that had inspired the company were eventually retired. This was in part due to the ever-rising cost of the machines, but mainly due to the inconsistency of the paint available at the time, which meant the machines were never able to fulfil their potential. It can only be speculated how successful the machines would have been had they only had access to the paint of today.

So this left Pressure Jet Markers to focus on, and continually hone, its main products which were the class leading transfer wheel machines – The Linesman, The Prince and The Dimple.

In 2016, after 64 years of business the current directors, who had been there for much of the company’s life, were looking to retire. If no buyer could be found PJM would cease trading and the great company would be consigned to the history books. There aren’t many people in the sports equipment market who haven’t dealt with PJM, and over his 40 years in the industry our MD Mark Harrod was no exception.

At heart, PJM was still a small engineering company and with much of the industry’s line marking machines now made abroad there was little interest in them. However with our large manufacturing facility and emphasis on British engineering, Mark knew that we could find PJM a new home at MH Goals.

‘It would have been easy to absorb the company into MH Goals and simply lose the company name altogether, but with PJM’s distinguished heritage it just didn’t make sense.’

Their great product range is highly respected in the industry, so when we acquired the company we didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. However, things needed to be brought up to date and so we introduced laser cut parts, zinc plating and improved powder coating to the machines, so you still get Pressure Jet Markers’ trusted design, with today’s quality manufacturing for ease of use and enhanced durability.

With the backing of MH Goals the future is bright for PJM and their great machines will be marking pitches for years to come.

The post Pressure Jet Markers – A History appeared first on MHGoals Ltd..

In April the highly respected Pressure Jet Markers, famed throughout the industry for their line marking machines, became part of the MH Goals family. We worked for many years with PJM and knew them to be a family-run business that produced high quality products, so they were a perfect fit for us when the opportunity arose earlier in 2017. We are now the exclusive manufacturers of Pressure Jet Markers line marking machines, supplying them to grounds around the world.

In May we were delighted to see John Terry lifting the Premier League trophy as Chelsea swept all before them on their way to the title. We have an excellent relationship with the London club, and supply goals for Stamford Bridge as well as their Cobham training centre. We’re not saying for definite we were the main factor in their success, but in a world of marginal gains we like to think we were an integral part …

2017 was also the year we were set an engineering challenge by Equal Playing Field, an organisation set up to advance women’s equality in sport at all levels. They were sending an all-female team of footballers to Mount Kilimanjaro in June, with the aim of breaking the world record for the highest ever game of football. To be a legitimate record attempt they needed to play with full-sized 24×8 goals, and so they contacted us. Creating a set of posts that were light, simple to assemble and disassemble, and easy to carry up a mountain was a really exciting test of our ingenuity, but we’re pleased to say we managed it – as did the team, who received their Guinness World Record award in December.

March saw us reach another milestone with the opening of our new factory. It marked the end of a year-long build, and means we can now offer a far more streamlined service, with new manufacturing equipment, more effective warehousing and a greater control over everything we produce – great for us, great for you!

2017 also saw more recognition of Mark Harrod’s reputation as one of the country’s top safety experts, as he was brought in by the BSI as an independent expert to advise on goalpost and sports equipment safety. This position has already seen him sharing his expertise during the drafting of BS EN 16579; the most demanding safety standard for goalposts ever written.

We’ve been out and about this year, exhibiting at both BTME in January and Saltex in November. It’s always great to be at these events as it gives us a chance to meet so many of our customers in person, as well as see new faces and catch up with old friends. We’re already looking forward to BTME 2018 – we’ll be at stand M15, come and see us!

In October we released our latest catalogue. With 25% more pages than last year it’s our biggest ever edition and has 57 pages dedicated to football alone. It also details our hockey and rugby ranges, as well as equipment for athletics, netball, golf, Gaelic football and much more. You can get your copy by calling us on 01502 711298.

And we’ve continued to work closely with County FAs in 2017 to support the grassroots game, and offer all affiliated clubs 20% off a large range of goals and accessories. One of our favourite events this year was to support ‘Love Football, Live Football’ – a week long celebration of local football, run by Suffolk FA. Events took place across the county, and gained backing from Ipswich Town FC, Suffolk’s top professional club.

We’re delighted to announce the completion of a brand new factory at our Suffolk headquarters. The new factory is located on a ¾ acre site in Beccles and has been built to our bespoke design, enabling us to create the efficient production line we wanted, using modern manufacturing techniques and machinery.

New additions to the MH Goals facilities include a heavy-duty tube bender, new MIG and TIG welding plants and aluminium saws. To increase the effectiveness of the warehousing, bespoke racking has been installed to allow more room for stock and in turn, ensure quick and efficient dispatch at all times.

The recent acquisition of Pressure Jet Markers Ltd now means that production and distribution can also efficiently happen from its new Suffolk home.

MH Goals prides itself on British manufacturing, and where possible, UK sourced materials, both in order to support the wider community and to ensure the best quality product is created. The new factory will streamline operations as the whole process becomes more centralised; the majority of our products are cut, welded, shaped, and finished onsite. Quality control is even more stringent than before, and to meet ever-increasing demand, we’re welcoming four new members of factory staff to our team.

Mark Harrod said: “This is a really exciting time for MH Goals as we expand our team, site and product range. We want to serve our customers as efficiently as we can and this allows us to do so even more effectively than before.”

MH Goals is a company that’s always looking for opportunities to grow, and as such there are already plans in place to expand and develop the site further to create larger offices, a bigger netting department and more expansive warehousing.

While the Blues were sweeping all before them, MH Goals have, over the last year, upgraded a wide range of football and grounds equipment both at Stamford Bridge and at Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham. Our new Pro Stadium goal range has been put through its paces at both sites with our Pro Stadium Socketed, Training and Wheeled Freestanding goals all being used by Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante and Katie Chapman amongst others. And it’s not just the goals at Chelsea that bear the MH Goals marque – we were also asked to supply their training ground with a whole range of other professional equipment including team shelters, spectator barriers, ball stop posts and netting.

Chelsea FC have also just put the finishing touches to a brand new Indoor Arena and MH Goals were heavily involved in outfitting the multi-million pound facility, supplying a wide range of standard and bespoke sports equipment. The new training centre boasts a fully netted and enclosed Street Soccer Arena, specially made for Chelsea FC, Pro Wheeled Freestanding Mini Soccer and 9v9 goals and four fully portable spectator stands.

Pressure Jet Markers (part of MH Goals) have also been part of the Chelsea story this year – they’ve supplied six new top of the range Dimple Line Markers for use at Stamford Bridge and at Cobham.

Jason Griffin, Chelsea FC’s Head Groundsman, noted MH Goals contribution to the Chelsea facilities this year, saying ‘MH Goals’ quality and service has been excellent and it’s been a pleasure working with Mark and his team this season’.
