barrier system
Our safety Barrier System is a state-of-the-art trackside crash barrier designed for use on indoor and outdoor go kart circuits. It's unique interlocking system and lightweight but robust construction make it uniquely flexible, saving time and effort when it comes to creating new circuit layouts.
This picture shows one of the crash barrier segments with it's unique interlocking mechanism for simple assembly of any track configuration.
It is made up of a series of interlocking segments which can be linked together at various angles to produce any configuration of track required. The Hi-Grade reforming plastic construction gives it rigidity where it matters most without compromising on impact safety.
Ideal for minimoto as well as kart circuits, the environmentally friendly, fit-for-purpose locking mechanism is quick and simple to assemble and disassemble, producing any number of circuit configurations, yet it's design meets the safety needs of competitors and spectators alike.
Here are a selection of images of our Safety Barrier System in use. This set is from an indoor karting circuit run by one of our customers. The entire 400 metre circuit is laid-out using our modular barrier system.
Colors
Main colors are red, blue, yellow and white. More colors are available for larger volumes.
Customization
You can add your name to each barrier for publicity.
Dimensions
Each unit is 1350mm long, 300mm wide and 600mm high. When the barriers are connected the stretch 1meter in length per barrier.
The Crash Barrier System has been designed with safety in mind. It utilises a unique interlocking mechanism which retains the barrier and track configuration.
Materials
After user impact trials using many different materials and consulting with experts in the field of plastics, we have chosen polyethylene for our crash barriers. The inherent qualities allow enough deformation on impact but will retain it's original shape after impact. Polyethylene has a high impact resistance and is known to be extremely resistant to cracking, breaking and is durable in all climates. This in turn has made polyethylene crash barriers the number one choice in motorsport, with approval by the FIA, CSA and other motorcycling organisations for larger barrier types.
The Indy Racing League (IRL) in the USA has been funding a program called the Polyethylene Energy Dissipation System (PEDS), which in essence is a barrier replacement for tyres or concrete and has already been installed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Track.
Application
The Safety Barrier System has many flexible applications owing to it's modular construction. Each barrier segment weighs 11Kg, making them very portable but should the neccessity arise they can be filled with sand or water to add ballast. This can be done either individually, ie 1 in 5, or all along the chain. The filling hole also doubles up as an overflow system allowing water to escape when the segment is full, should a major impact arise, thus reducing the strength of the impact to the driver or rider.
Another unique feature is that the barrier has been designed to allow movement, then disperses the impact to the next barrier in the chain and so on until the energy from the impact is completely dissipated.
Unlike conventional tire construction barriers, our system is designed to slow you down gradually and safely and not pull you into the barrier. This has been achieved by the use of materials and design, a point which was paramount from our users.
Design and Detail
The design of our system has taken safety as it's paramount specification. All edges in the natural flow have been rounded, reducing the risk of injury from impact to a minimum. The polyethylene material has been used throughout the product, no metal used at all.
We have chosen a manufacturing method which allows the barrier to be moulded in one complete piece and have no joints to hinder safety. The overall dimensions of each barrier have been designed to give you a true 1m of protection.
