  • Description Description
    The Soft Stop Tangent End Terminal is a MASH-compliant, re-directive, gating guardrail end terminal designed to meet MASH TL3 and TL2 standards. It offers superior containment, efficient installation, and reusability, making it a versatile solution for road safety across various speed zones.
    Description Description
    Features
    MASH TL3 Compliance: Fully compliant with MASH TL3 standards, crash tested for impacts at 100 km/h, ensuring high-energy absorption and vehicle redirection.
    Front Anchoring Technology: The front-anchored design minimizes deflection, securing the W-Beam during impacts and enhancing the system's ability to redirect errant vehicles safely.
    Flexible Installation: The Soft Stop system allows for posts to be driven into the ground using a hydraulic post driver or installed with baseplated posts anchored to concrete footings, offering flexibility for different site conditions.
    Durable Construction: All components are manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel, providing long-term resistance to environmental conditions and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
    Assembly and Repair Advantages: Mid-post splices make the system easier to assemble, while the extruded W-Beam remains connected after impact for quicker repairs.
    Description Description
