Vehicle restraint systems for racing
Precast concrete barriers according to FIA standards
Traditionally, Hermann Spengler GmbH & Co. KG is strongly committed to motorsports. As a program partner of the FIA Institute for Motorsport Safety and Sustainability, Spengler researches and develops improvements to safety equipment on race tracks. These restraint and protection systems are tested together with the FIA Institute. Spengler also involves high-performance partners in his work.

Hermann Spengler GmbH & Co. KG is a company whose tradition reaches back almost 100 years. Over those years, a factory producing sand and concrete products has become a modern, efficient enterprise that has been producing precast concrete safety barriers for over 30 years. With a network comprising both German and international licensees and partners, this completely modular system is now distributed worldwide. Spengler is one of the largest suppliers of passive safety systems constructed from concrete that are designed for public roads and highways.
Hermann Spengler GmbH & Co. KG is equally committed to sport and is undertaking research in cooperation with the FIA Institute to improve safety on racetracks. Spengler is not only interested in developing the most superior technical solution; it also maintains a clear regard of the economical factors involved. It is only with this approach that clients can be assured that their investments are safe. Rapid assembly, patented connecting hooks, no loose parts: everything contributes to a cost-lowering system solution. Exceptionally quick and easy replacement of damaged elements means lower maintenance costs – and another advantage - concrete doesn’t rust. The fact that this cost-cutting does not come at the expense of safety is confirmed by high speed barrier tests conducted with the FIA institute, in which viable g-forces were seen even at impact speeds of 200 km/h – just by the way, the PMW jury considered those efforts worthy of a Safety Innovation of the Year award for the FIA and participating partners back in 2006.
Space-saving design and ingeniously simple handling are the decisive benefits speaking for Spengler’s pre-mountable precast concrete barrier with debris fence. When compared with fence elements comprising individual parts and with off-track barriers, they are virtually unbeatable in terms of the cost of investment and the ease of installation. In keeping with the company’s mission statement, Spengler prove that they know the requirements of the race circuits the best, allowing them to work with architects or racetrack operators to provide the best safety solution possible.
For larger projects Spengler is in the position to manufacture their products on-site with mobile production units.
