Training barriers are a critical and important stage in a horses development towards becoming ready to race. With the wrong equipment an animal can take longer to train, or even worse cause itself injury. SIMTRACK training gates, considered the industry standard for many racing states, are unmatched for quietness, safety, and design excellence. With extremely competitive prices, they are an investment that will far out last and out perform any other product available!
To get a feel for how our training gates operate, please view the following video...
FIXED OR MOVABLE?
SIMTRACK offer a fixed or movable training gate depending on the requirements of the customer.
FIXED
The Simtrack Fixed training gate is the ultimate training tool for horse’s at any stage of development. Its tubular frame design is extremely stable giving excellent stability, be it concreted into position, or with in ground ‘sleeves’.Fitted standard with stainless steel gates and platforms, overhead pull up bars and rear gate retainers it provides the safest environment for any horse to learn in.
Unlike lower quality alternatives, the Simtrack training gate is a perfect reproduction of the official race day barrier right down to its unsupported division panels. Cheaper versions cut corners with this critical feature and extend each panel leg to the ground.
This can prove an extremely dangerous object should an animal get underneath the gate, with potentially disasterous results.
With all the available options of race day barriers, the Simtrack training gate stands alone for quality and value for money, backed by an unmatched standard two year warranty!
MOVABLE
The movable training gate is made on wheels to allow the customer to relocate the barrier by towing whenever desired. This also allows the gate to be housed in a shed after use to protect it from the elements, or potential vandalism.
SYSTEM – HYDRAULIC OR MECHANICAL?
Never before since the invention of the starting gate in the early 1920's has any single manufacture had the ability to offer two completely different operating systems. Such is the design excellence of Simtrack, that it not only gives customers the choice, but can further boast the most advanced and modern designs produced anywhere in the world. Two options, the more traditional 'mechanical', and the most revolutionary and exclusive 'hydraulic' system, have resulted in Simtrack becoming the number one producer of this equipment. See Hydraulic or Mechanical.
