End-Terminals

ABC-Terminal, EuroET and TREND-Terminal are energy absorbing terminals for use with w-beam safety barriers. The steel “breakaway” posts are designed using an innovative concept. The lower post, having an H-Section, is driven into the ground. The upper post, with its U-Section, slides into the lower post and is then secured using a stainless steel shear pin. During a head-on impact, longitudinal forces break the shear pin, releasing the upper post. Energy absorption is achieved through friction and deformation as the rail sections slide rearward. Our end terminals are tested acc. to ENV 1317-3.
