Track Barrier: What to Use for Go-Kart Tracks

We have a variety of high-quality barriers available from stock, but not all barriers are suitable for use around go-kart tracks. Read on to find out why.

What to look for in a go-kart track barrier

There are several factors to consider when choosing a barrier for use around a go-kart track. These are durability, flexibility and - most importantly - safety. We stock one barrier in particular that meets all of these requirements: the RB500 track and site barrier. Here's why it's ideal for go-kart tracks:

Flexibility

A go-kart track would be pretty boring if it was all straight lines. But not all barriers allow for curves to be created, especially not the tight bends required when making a go-kart track that's interesting to racers.

The RB500 track barrier has a special locking pin design that allows you to plan very tight bends. It also means that the barrier won't be easily dislodged from its neighbouring barrier when someone makes contact.

Durability

The RB500 track barriers are made from durable UV-stabilised polyethylene, making them suitable for indoor or outdoor track use. They can withstand frequent impacts from go-karts without showing damage. You have the option of weighting these barriers by filling them with water or sand to keep them in position.

Safety

Thanks to its design, our track barrier is very safe for use on go-kart tracks. All corners are rounded so there are no sharp surfaces exposed. We can also supply various termination pieces for the track barrier to make the stop ends more finished, and therefore safer. The hollow design absorbs impact, minimising stress on the go-kart and its occupant.
