Protex

a shared standard of safety
protex

Through a strategic international partnership, Xtremebarriers supplies and supports Protex barrier system across Europe, while Protex distributes selected Xtremebarriers solutions in the United States.

one partnership two expertises

Through this strategic partnership, customers benefit from internationally proven barrier technology combined with the engineering, installation and technical support provided directly by Xtremebarriers.

local
support

Protex barriers in Europe are supplied, installed and serviced directly by our team in Italy. You call us, not a distributor.

international
reach

The partnership works both ways: Protex reaches Europe through us, and our systems reach the United States through Protex.

solutions

Barrier technology already installed and tested on circuits worldwide, backed by engineering and support from Italy.

one direct
contact

From the first concept to the final installation, we manage every stage of the project. One partner, one vision, complete accountability.

one track two systems

On most circuits the two systems aren’t alternatives. They work side by side, each doing the job it does best — and both come from the same team, installed and supported by the same people.

protex

Fixed in place along the circuit. It absorbs the impact and returns to position on its own, so the session keeps running and the track needs less attention between heats.

softmax

Modular and free-standing. Its shape and varied thicknesses soak up impact where it counts, and the configuration can be changed as the layout evolves.

built to absorb, designed to return

Protex is a fixed-in-place karting barrier system engineered to absorb impact and return to its original position, reducing interruptions, maintenance and track downtime.

 

impact
absorption

The spring-supported system cushions impacts and reduces the force transferred to both the kart and the barrier structure.

automatic
return

After impact, the barrier returns to its original position, helping keep the track operational and reducing race interruptions.

hdpe
construction

Flexible and impact-resistant HDPE elements provide a durable solution suitable for both indoor and outdoor karting facilities.

proven across
the world

From indoor circuits to international karting facilities, Protex barrier systems have been installed across a wide range of track configurations and operating environments.

one system, different tracks

Protex adapts to both traditional single-level layouts and complex multi-level circuits, offering the same safety, durability and performance across different track configurations.

track type

single-level

Designed for traditional indoor and outdoor karting layouts, combining continuous protection, flexibility and reliable performance throughout the circuit.

track type

multi-level

Developed for complex layouts featuring bridges, ramps and elevation changes while maintaining the same safety and durability throughout the circuit.
