Airfence Speedway Inflatable - Installation and Handling


The installation and pack-up of Airfence Speedway Inflatable is a little more involved than that of the Airfence Speedway, but it is more than made up by it’s being compact storage and transport, if that’s what you need.

We suggest that Airfence Speedway be stored in crates or boxes that can be easily handled with a fork lift. We can provide them if you wish. Installation then is a matter of:

  • 2 guys lifting each section from the crate, laying it flat on its front and, using a backpack blower, inflating the 4 inflatable cells lightly.
  • Standing it up in place tying it off to the wall and the adjacent section using the D rings and seat belt webbing
  • Repeating on the next section.
  • Topping up any cells with air if they are sagging prior to racing. The main cushions have relief valves, it sets itself, so there’s no messing around with pressure gauges!

Because each section is self contained for air there are also no fans or connecting pipes to give trouble. And if by any chance one section does get damaged the remainder of the bank of Airfence is still fine and ready for impact.

Packing up is a reversal of this simple process. Laying them flat, one on top of the other in the crates helps the air to be exhaled and the barriers to be packed compactly.

Repair?
These barriers are made with heavy duty, reinforced PVC fabric. Joins are almost all HF welded. So repairs are minimal. If a section gets a hole however, it can be easily repaired using proper PVC adhesive and patches supplied by us.

Given simple care, Airfence Speedway –Inflatable will give many years of the best barrier protection available.

How much Airfence Speedway?
Because the barriers come in 3 metre long sections, a bank of Airfence Speedway –Inflatable can be any multiplication of 3. How much you will need will depend on the length of your perimeter fence, the width of the track and the radius of your corners. It’s best decided by track owners, Clerk of Course and other officials who are familiar with the history of racing at the track. But typically 100 metres (34 sections) at each end of the track is usually plenty, smaller tracks may need less.
