Aluminium profiles
At Showtrax™ we understand the problems
of weight and transportation, so we have designed our profiles to
be as light as possible whilst retaining strength and durability
through the profile design. We are constantly looking at new profiles
and are currently working on a new seamless system that will not
involve ‘double sided tape’ or ‘magnets’.
This should be ready during 2006.
We use only the highest grade alloys ensuring that
your new walling system will last for many seasons.
All metalwork can be powder coated before leaving
us. We use the RAL colour guide for painting. The recent introduction
of the entire family of STX2045 round uprights has been further
enhanced by the choice of being able to add either round beams or
flat beams to complete the framework. For calculating overall weight,
please find below, the weights of some of our more popular profiles:
| STX5000 upright |
@ 2100mm |
2.10kgs |
| STX3100 upright |
@ 2100mm |
3.68kgs |
| STH1005 beam |
@ 954mm |
0.76kgs |
| STH1515 beam |
@ 954mm |
0.59kgs |
Walling panels
We use a specially formulated 5mm foam PVC panel
for our walling infills. The thickness of the panel ensures that
there is good fire retardancy (self extinguishing) and is also very
robust. The low specific gravity of our panel however, also satisfies
the needs for weight saving. A conventional 5mm panel weighs 6.88kgs.
The new low weight panel weighs just 4.76kgs. This is fractionally
heavier than a conventional 3mm panel that is now considered to
be a poor substitute. Breakage is substantially reduced.
Panels are available in a variety of colours including
- new to the range - silver. Finishes are either in a matt surface
or a very hard gloss surface. All colours with the exception of
silver are also available in the USA and throughout Europe.
Through the manufacturers, we now have in place, a
direct European delivery service. This enables us to make deliveries
of walling panels at a fraction of the cost.
During the season, we do carry very good stocks of
white lightweight panels. Other colours however are normally available
within 3 working days.
We also carry stocks of tinted Lexan window panels,
which can be incorporated into the walling.
All walling panels can be silk screened with a flood
colour if a standard colour is not acceptable.
Likewise, if part of the panel needs to have a carbon
fibre effect, we carry the maximum width currently available which
is 762mm (30”).

Worktops
Our new range of Reynabond aluminium sheeting is an ideal way to
make a lightweight and thin, but yet incredibly strong, worktop.
Available in a range of colours they can be routed and fitted to
our walling profiles. The tops can also be covered in specialist
colours such as a carbon fibre finish and then completely covered
in Ventureshield
to eliminate any scratching.
Cooling Shelf (pictured below)
The cooling shelf can be built into the Showtrax Walling to enable
drivers/riders to keep their helmet and gloves cool. Small spot lighting
above sets the shelf off really well, whilst a cupboard can also be
built underneath for storage.
