The
NEW Hanz Belts!
SCCA Legal |
All
SafeQuip belts are made
from forged steel and quality 3" webbing. All belts are pattern
sewn for uniform stitch length and strength. SFI Certification is
performed routinely to insure high quality and uniform production
standards.
Belts come with either
latch-and-link
or kamlock hardware and in five or six point
designs. You may also choose between pull-up or
pull-down lap belt designs as well as Formula car
belts, Euros, and Wraps.
Available in three stock colors: red, blue, and black... all other colors
are available by special order (call for information). Don't forget
about our Blackbelt V belt and
Hanz Belts.
Belts come with all necessary
mounting hardware and are available in five standard designs (see sidebar).
Custom sizing and designs are available!
All
SafeQuip belts are custom made to order to insure that you have the most
up-to-date materials and that you receive just what you request.
So
what do I need to know when ordering belts?

Latch-and-link
Information:
The
Latch-and-Link system is distinguished by a pivoting "hammer,"
called a Duckbill, which locks all of the belts into place. Both
shoulder belts and sub belt are hooked over the link; the link is inserted
into the latch; the Duckbill is then brought down into and over the link,
securely holding all of the pieces. Back

Kamlock
Information: We
offer three types of Kamlock systems. 
-
The Lever Kamlock (left), has a lever on top which pivots up and
down to either
attach or release the
belts.
-
The Lost Motion (L/M) Kamlock is a FIA Kamlock (middle). It's handle turns
left or right
with 30* of movement before it locks or
unlocks the belts. This is
the Kamlock style you will find in Formula
One and other European circuits.
-
The standard, or Twist Kamlock (right), rotates clockwise or
counterclockwise to unlock or lock the belts.
REMEMBER,
all systems work with spring loaded tension. For a Kamlock to work
properly, your belts must be tight at all times when you are in the car
(this includes grid!)
Please
make sure to indicate what type of Kamlock you would like when ordering
your belts. Back

What
is the difference between a Pull-up and Pull-down lap belt? On
a pull-down lap belt, the adjusters are close to the latch-and-link or
Kamlock. To adjust the lap belt, drivers would pull the slack away
from them. On a pull-up lap belt, the adjusters are near the floor
mounting points. To adjust the lap belt, the driver would pull the
slack toward him/her. Pull-up lap belts are beneficial to Formula
car drivers or other close cockpit cars where there is not much room to
move your elbows outward. Back

Hanz Shoulder Harness - Used with
the leading Head & Neck Restraint System - these belts fit better than
regular harnesses. They are 3-inch webbing narrowed to 2-inch and have a
small strip of gripper rubber on the underside to help alleviate
slipping. Developed by SAFEQUIP
3 years ago they are the answer to shoulder
harness problems encountered with Head & Neck Restraints. |
|
Yes,
there is a difference between Formula Car belts and Euros!
On
a European 6pt. system (right), the sub belts wrap underneath each leg, go through
loops on your lap belt, then over to your shoulder harnesses.
A
Formula Car belts system on the other hand is a standard 6pt. system where
the sub belts buckle into the latch and link or kamlock.
Both
the Euros and the Formula Car systems are made shorter to accommodate
driver and car. Back
|
|
What
is wrap? Wrap
around belts do just that. They wrap around the rollbar, or any
other tubular mounting point, using a 3-bar
(right) slide. Back
|
|
What
is the difference between bolt-in and snap-in hardware? All
of our belts come standard with bolt-in hardware (right) meaning your receive tabs
that will bolt to the floor of your car, holding your belts
securely. On the other hand, snap-in hardware (left) is a sort of clip that
snaps over eyebolts. Back |

So
what do I need to know when ordering belts? When
you order SafeQuip belts, your set of belts is custom made to best fit
you and your car. First of all, know that it may sometimes take up
to two weeks, in the busy season, to get your belts to you. Secondly, know that these belts are going to be perfect for you, so
they're worth the wait.
When
you call or e-mail us:
-
Know
what shoulder belt design you want.
-
Know
what type of linkage you want: Kamlock or Latch-and-Link.
-
Know
what color of webbing you want. There are three standard colors: red,
black, and blue, but for a small fee, you can get whatever color you like. Silver, yellow, green, orange, purple, pink, etc.
-
Know
what kind of mounting hardware you want.
-
Know
whether you want a pull-up or pull-down lap belt.
-
Know
the link of your mounting strap. Have a friend measure from where your
shoulder adjustments are to where you will be mounting the belts. If you
have a Formula car, more measurements may be required.
Finally,
let us know what sort of car you have and whether it has a roll bar or a
full cage. Remember, our guys have been racing a long time
and are familiar with most set ups. We can let you know what would
be best if you're a little confused. Don't get discouraged. Unless you've been doing this a long time, it's OK that you don't know
exactly what you need. That's why we're here to help!
