TÉKIDÉ take-off bars have proved their foolproof effectiveness by being used at all French jumping racecourses for over 10 years, with absolutely no quality feedback.

They bring undeniable safety to horseracing sport and have undergone rigorous laboratory and in-situ testing.

TÉKIDÉ take-off bars can be simply placed on the ground thanks to our bollard system, or integrated into the design of the fences themselves: brook, double barrier, etc. We can also offer take-off systems mounted on recycled resin studs for your specific steeplechase fences.

The take-off bars are delivered in protective sleeves on 3m x 1.20m pallets. All call bars are visually inspected piece by piece and finished by hand.

Who invented the call bar found on French racecourses?

It's TÉKIDÉ! In 2012. The range was then extended to include large-diameter bars and impact bars.

How was TÉKIDÉ chosen to equip all racecourses in France?

In 2012, France Galop launched a major consultation and tests on the various processes available. Out of 3 French racing equipment companies, TÉKIDÉ came out on top in terms of technical aspects, resistance and price.

We quickly equipped Auteuil, Enghien and France Galop's training centres. Regional racecourses quickly followed suit, notably Pau and Cagnes-sur-Mer.
