About H3R Performance

When it comes to vehicle fire safety, few brands have earned the trust of drivers, collectors, and racers quite like H3R Performance. Founded in 2005, the company set out with a straightforward mission: build rugged, reliable fire protection equipment that performs flawlessly when you need it most — and looks great doing it. Whether you're piloting a vintage muscle car down a show circuit, tackling rocky trails in a UTV, or pushing lap times at the track, H3R Performance engineers products that fit the demands of your driving lifestyle.

H3R Performance is a member of the H3R group of companies and markets its automotive fire extinguishers under two flagship lines: HalGuard and MaxOut. Every extinguisher in their lineup carries a UL listing and is designed to meet or exceed NFPA and ANSI safety standards, giving drivers confidence that their fire suppression equipment is built to a recognized, rigorously tested benchmark.

HalGuard: Clean Agent Protection

H3R Performance's HalGuard line represents the premium tier of automotive fire suppression. These extinguishers utilize Halotron® 1 and Halon 1211 clean agents — the same technology trusted by commercial aviation and airport firefighting crews. The key advantage of a clean agent extinguisher is that it attacks fires rapidly without leaving behind damaging residue, making it the go-to choice for classic car collectors, restorers, and owners of exotic or high-performance vehicles where protecting sensitive electronics and pristine engine bays is just as important as putting out the fire. HalGuard units are UL-listed, fully rechargeable, and backed by a 6-year warranty.

MaxOut: Dependable Dry Chemical Performance

For drivers who want proven, versatile protection at an accessible price point, the MaxOut dry chemical extinguisher line delivers. Dry chemical extinguishers are widely used in motorsport applications because they fight flammable liquid and electrical fires without conducting electricity back to the operator. MaxOut units above 1 lb. are also rated for common combustibles including wood, paper, rubber, and certain plastics, making them equally at home in a garage, on a boat, or mounted in an RV. A proprietary additive formulation prevents the chemical agent from "bricking up" inside the cylinder — a real-world durability advantage over lesser alternatives.

Mounting Brackets Built for Real-World Use

An extinguisher is only as useful as its mounting solution, and H3R Performance takes brackets just as seriously as the extinguishers themselves. Their mounting bracket lineup spans everything from steel standard brackets included with each extinguisher, to ProLock billet aluminum brackets with brushed or polished finishes, to Extreme Duty quick-release mounts engineered to meet MIL-STD-810G and withstand inertia loads exceeding 27G in all directions. For drivers who prefer a no-drill solution, H3R's patented seat mount attaches directly to factory seat rail bolts and is accepted by the NHRA. Vehicle-specific solutions for platforms like the Ford Bronco round out a bracket ecosystem designed to cover virtually every application.

Who H3R Performance Is Built For

H3R Performance products serve a wide community of vehicle enthusiasts — from classic car collectors and hot rod builders to weekend off-roaders, RV adventurers, and serious road racers. Their extinguishers are available in chrome-plated, bold red, and stealthy black finishes in multiple sizes, so safety equipment can be an intentional part of your build rather than an afterthought. For any driver who has made a significant investment in their vehicle, H3R Performance offers peace of mind that is every bit as dependable as the machines they protect.
