ET2000 Plus

The ET2000™ PLUS (Guardrail Extruder Terminal) absorbs vehicle impact energy by deforming the guardrail, reducing issues like spearing and rollover. Its non-flared design suits tight spaces or cost-limited areas. Available in 7.62m (NCHRP 350 TL2) and 15.24m (NCHRP 350 TL3) sizes.

  • Description Description
    The ET2000 Plus Guardrail Extruder Terminal is designed to absorb kinetic energy upon vehicle impact, providing effective redirection and a soft ride-down for vehicle occupants. Fully compliant with NCHRP 350 Test Level 3 (TL3), it offers a reliable and space-efficient terminal solution, particularly for high-speed applications.
    Description Description
    Features
    Energy Absorption: The extruder head flattens the W-Beam guardrail upon impact, absorbing kinetic energy and minimizing vehicle damage.
    Compact Design: Available in both a 7.62m TL2 terminal and a 15.24m TL3 terminal for flexible deployment in various speed zones.
    Redirection Capability: The Steel Yielding Terminal (SYT) posts yield during end-on impacts, providing effective vehicle redirection during side-on impacts.
    Quick Installation: Pre-packaged units for rapid installation, minimizing traffic disruption.
    Description Description
    Acceptance
    The ET2000 Plus is fully compliant with NCHRP 350 TL2 and TL3 standards and is accepted for use by various jurisdictions. It is designed for impact speeds up to 100 km/h (TL3).
