FIM TYPE A SAFETY BARRIER 

THE ALPINA AIRMODULE “PERMANENT INFLATED” 


The ALPINA Airmodule “AA” is our latest development 

offering big advantages in comparison to all other 

inflatable barriers. 

These Airmodules consist of 6 inflated parts supplied 

with permanent air-flow by a new system of pumps 

and tubes. Because of this new permanent inflation the 

modules offer constantly the same performance and 

neither change in temperature nor change in weather 

conditions have any effects on the air-pressure in the 

modules. 

The Airmodules are made of heavy-duty reinforced PVC, 

the material is flame-retarding and weather-resistant and 

guarantees long lifetime. 

The modules are easy to install and offer a perfect 

performance. They must be installed directly in front of 

rigid barriers, a special front skirt helps to avoid undersliding 

and the new connection-system avoids penetration 

between the modules.

THE ALPINA F1 SAFETY SYSTEM 

FIA HOMOLOGATED SAFETY BARRIER 

The Air-Module Safety System is set to revolutionise 

Formula 1 circuit safety with the release of its “Alpina 

F1” safety crash bar rier. 

The Alpina F1 system could save expensive modifications 

to some of the world’s classic circuits by giving the 

authorities a true “safety barrier” that can meet the stringent 

safety demands of today’s motorsports. Research 

had shown that conventional tyre barriers, even of the 

multilayered “Zolder” type, offer no absorption over 48 

km/h. High speed impact testing proved tyre barriers 

totally compressed at speeds ranging from 15 to 48 

km/h, allowing the car to contact the wall. 

The main principle behind the deve lopment of the 

ALPINA F1 system is the absorption of energy and a 

limi ted deceleration of the driver. Unlike current crash 

barriers, the Air Module absorbs energy, by trans ferring 

and exhausting air with the objective to annihilate 

kinetic energy. Comprised of six separate chambers, the 

barrier grants an even deceleration, removing the sudden 

impact “spike” that causes severe injuries. 

The ALPINA F1 system has been evaluated by the 

Expert Advisory Group set up to instigate a number of 

safety reforms including the installation of a new safety 

barrier system. The Air-Module can be installed quickly 

as a permanent safety barrier that accepts numerous 

high speed crashes. lt recovers within approximately 10 

seconds and is ready for the next impact. The ALPINA 

F1 is designed to replace or supplement tyre walls on 

the thtical corners found on most circuits. For non permanent 

circuits where space is very limited the ALPINA 

F1 is the perfect safety barrier.

• no loss of function after damage 

• capable of carrying advertising 



SPECIAL SAFETY-PRODUCTS 

THE ALPINA TYRE INSERTS 

IMPROVING PERFORMANCE 

The ALPINA Tyre Inserts are polyethylene tubes and have been approved in 

compliance with the standard FIA 8861-2000. 

Because of their special technical details they achieve a substantial improvement 

of energy absorption – their appropriate stiffness helps to 

absorb a proportion of the kinetic energy, which improves the performance 

of the whole tyre barrier system. For easy handling the Tyre Inserts are 

equipped with a belt, which allows fast installation and removal. They are 

weather resistant and guarantee a long life time. 




THE ALPINA CONVEYOR BELT 

INCREASING EFFECTIVENESS 

The ALPINA Conveyor Belts are according 

to the recommendations of the 

FIA and improve the energyabsorption 

properties of tyre barriers. 

They are fixed at the outer vertical 

face of the competed tyre barrier and 

help to enhance the integrity and the 

effectiveness of the whole tyre barrier 

system. Because of their flat and 

smooth surface the Conveyor Belts offer 

a perfect possibility for fixing advertising 

in front of the tyre walls. 


Height: 1.0 m 

Length: on request 

Thickness: up to 12 mm 

ADVANTAGES 

Monte Carlo 


• Easy installation 




• Permanent installation 


• Perfect Possibility for
