Born from a passion for this industry, the first range of Safeguard Barriers systems was introduced in 1994 and Safeguard Barriers was the first race safety manufacturer to offer a foam engineered system. The Safeguard range is also recognised by ACU, MSA and NKA.

Safeguard 1

Size 2.3 m (L) x 1.2 m (W) x 1.02 m (H) Weight approx. 90kg

Design incorporates a combination of heavy duty polyurethane foams in a unique configuration using the principle of a concertina effect. Profiled outer section designed to absorb initial impact inertia. Dissipates the energy and decelerates the rider upon impact in a controlled manner.

  • Patented design
  • Recommended for use with gravel beds or run off areas to provide maximum cushioning for fallen riders
  • Recommended for permanent/semi permanent installations
  • Specifically designed and tested to the highest standards
  • Minimum impact rebound
  • Heavy duty, flame retardant PVC coated cover with ventilation holes to allow controlled compression upon impact, generating a cushioning effect
  • Covers can be replaced in the event of extreme damage
  • Integral, non stretch webbing loops situated under each unit for fastening and mechanical lifting purposes
  • Carrying handles located at the side of the barrier for ease of manual positioning.

Safeguard RR

Size 2.3 m (L) x 1.2 m (W) x 1.02 m (H) Weight approx. 50kg

Aimed at motorcyclists this barrier has been engineered to control the movement of air by creating air pockets within the foam construction, to provide graduated deceleration and cushioning for the rider.

  • Particularly suitable for temporary and street circuits where frequent installation and removal of units is necessary.
  • Specifically designed and tested to the highest standards
  • Specifically designed to be lighter in weight than Safeguard 1, for ease of manoeuvring.
  • Minimum impact rebound
  • Heavy duty, flame retardant PVC coated cover with ventilation holes to allow controlled compression upon impact, generating a cushioning effect
  • Covers can be replaced in the event of extreme damage
  • Integral, non stretch webbing loops situated under each unit for fastening and mechanical lifting purposes
  • Carrying handles located at the side of the barrier for ease of manual positioning.

Over recent years the British Superbikes Championship promoters have invested in the worlds best racetrack protection devices. Classified as type A , the gold standard by the FIM, the Safeguard RR barrier has proved highly effective in advancing safety precautions. Its robustness in copying with contact together with its portability make it the obvious choice.

Safeguard 2

Size 1.8 m (L) x 0.91 m (W) x 1.02 m (H) Weight approx. 70kg

This design offers a multi layered polyurethane foam construction providing a firm but resilient barrier for high speed fallen rider impacts. Profiled outer section designed to absorb initial impact inertia.

  • Patented design
  • Ideal for permanent /semi-permanent installation and where limited space is a consideration
  • Providing considerable protection through higher density material
  • Heavy duty, flame retardant PVC coated cover with ventilation holes to allow controlled compression upon impact, generating a cushioning effect
  • Covers can be replaced in the event of extreme damage
  • Integral, non stretch webbing loops situated under each unit for fastening and mechanical lifting purposes
  • Carrying handles located at the side of the barrier for ease of manual positioning.

Safeguard 3

Size 1.8 m (L) x 0.9 m (W) x 1.02 m (H) Weight approx. 85 kg

This design offers a multi layered polyurethane foam construction providing a firm but resilient barrier for bike and car impacts. Firm outer section designed to absorb initial impact inertia.

  • Patented design
  • Principal use is for high speed bike racing, but has proven very effective for car impact when fronting tyre walls
    Minimum impact rebound
  • Heavy duty, flame retardant PVC coated cover with ventilation holes to allow controlled compression upon impact, generating a cushioning effect
  • Covers can be replaced in the event of extreme damage
  • Integral, non stretch webbing loops situated under each unit for fastening and mechanical lifting purposes
  • Carrying handles located at the side of the barrier for ease of manual positioning.

We have found the introduction of Safeguard Barriers to be one of the most important safety improvements we have made at Knockhill.Not only do they help to protect fallen riders upon impact, which obviously reduces their risk of injury; they also dramatically reduce the damage to race cars.

We have had a Porsche impact Safeguard Barriers at 110 mph with remarkably little damage; in fact it could have raced again that day! We annually increase the amount of Safeguard Barriers as an on going safety policy.

Ian Forrest, Circuit Manager - Knockhill

Safeguard 4

Size 2.15 m (L) x 0.61 m (W) x 1.02 m (H) Weight approx. 90kg

This design offers a multi layered polyurethane foam construction providing a firm but resilient barrier for bike and car impacts. Firm outer section designed to absorb initial impact inertia. A slimline barrier recommended for circuits that have areas of very limited space, particularly in front of tyre walls.

  • Patented design
  • Principal use is for bike racing, but successfully used as a stand-alone full height product on outdoor karting circuits
  • Minimum impact rebound
  • Heavy duty, flame retardant PVC coated cover with ventilation holes to allow controlled compression upon impact, generating a cushioning effect
  • Covers can be replaced in the event of extreme damage
  • Integral, non stretch webbing loops situated under each unit for fastening and mechanical lifting purposes
  • Carrying handles located at the side of the barrier for ease of manual positioning.

Kart 500

Size 2.3 m (L) x 0.61 m (W) x 0.5 m (H) Weight approx. 43 kg

This design offers a multi layered polyurethane foam construction providing a firm but resilient barrier for kart racing protection. Modular based system with the same construction and materials as Safeguard 4 barrier but
at half the height.

  • Patented design
  • Particularly recommended for use where high impact absorption is required
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor karting
  • Velcro pads to secure corresponding units
  • Minimum impact rebound
  • Heavy duty, flame retardant PVC coated cover with ventilation holes to allow controlled compression upon impact, generating a cushioning effect
  • Covers can be replaced in the event of extreme damage
  • Integral, non stretch webbing loops situated under each unit for fastening and mechanical lifting purposes
  • Carrying handles located at the side of the barrier for ease of manual positioning.

Safeguard Barriers have been inplace at Anglia Indoor Kart Racing circuit for over ten years and still offer premium protection for this sport, especially where high impact absorption is required.

Health and safety carries a premium and Safeguard Barriers provide maximum safety for participants and spectators. As the safety
coordinator for the National Karting Association I have no hesitation in recommending the use of Safeguard Barriers.
