Case Study: Creating a Safe & Exciting Karting Experience with the RB1300 Barrier at Adventure Farm

Overview

Adventure Farm, a popular destination for family activities, recently invested in improving the safety and aesthetics of their pedal go-kart track.

Looking for a practical, reliable solution that also looked the part, they turned to the RB1300 water-filled track barrier - and Start Safety.

The challenge

Adventure Farm needed to install a durable safety barrier system around their new karting track, not only providing effective protection but also adding to the visual appeal of the attraction.

The setup needed to be easy to assemble, strong enough to keep pedal karts safely on track, and versatile enough to suit the curved layout of the track.

The solution

The team opted for the RB1300 water-filled barrier, a heavy-duty plastic track barrier designed for temporary traffic and pedestrian segregation.

With interlocking ends and a high-visibility design, the RB1300 is ideal for applications like karting tracks, motorsport events, and construction sites. When filled with water, each unit weighs over 400kg, providing a stable and secure installation.

Red and white colour options also helped create a themed racetrack look, enhancing the professional appearance of the site and giving it a more immersive feel for young racers.

The outcome

The finished installation at Adventure Farm not only delivers improved safety for riders and spectators but also contributes to a more engaging, realistic karting experience. The red and white barriers define the track edges clearly and give a vibrant, professional look to the entire area.

The modular nature of the RB1300 made installation simple. Each barrier links securely to the next, forming a continuous wall that can follow straight runs or gentle curves. This flexibility made them ideal for the irregular layout of the kart track.

Customer experience

At Start Safety, we pride ourselves on delivering not just high-quality products, but also exceptional customer service. Ivor from Adventure Farm shared his positive experience:

“I found the RB1300 barriers via a Google search and contacted the manufacturer who subsequently gave me a list of local suppliers. I contacted several for quotes, and Start Traffic responded quickly and with a very competitive price.“
