CRASH BARRIERS & END TREATMENTs

Call for a quote or to discuss your specific hire needs. Safety Crash Barriers keep vehicles within their roadway and prevent vehicles from colliding with each other and dangerous obstacles such as boulders, buildings & walls. They are also installed within medians of divided highways to prevent errant vehicles from entering the opposing carriageway of traffic and help to reduce head-on collisions. To make sure they are safe and effective, traffic barriers undergo extensive simulated and full scale crash testing before they are approved for general use.

Triton Crash Barriers

The Triton Barrier® TL-2 is a portable, water filled barrier for re-directive applications. The system consists of a number of interlocking, 6.5 ft. (2 m) barrier sections made of polyethylene plastic with an internal steel framework.

  • The Triton Barrier is a water filled road safety product that provides energy-absorbing protection for pedestrians, road workers and motorists
  • Constructed of highly-durable polyethylene, the portable barrier sections are filled on site with water to absorb collision energy – redirecting vehicles away from work crews and minimizing damage to cars and their occupants.
  • The Triton Barrier has been successfully crash tested under AS/NZS3845-1999
  • Units can be connected with a single pin and fast deployment can be accomplished without the need for heavy lifting equipment
  • TL2: Height: 800mm; Length: 2,000mm; Width: 500mm – Weight: Empty 65kg; Full 615kg – Water Ballast: 550 Litres – Speed: 70kph
  • Available in TL-0 (0-50kph), TL-1 (0-50kph)

Zoneguard™ Temporary Metal Crash Barrier

Hill and Smith have developed a durable portable steel traffic barrier that offers the road construction industry a revolutionary temporary barrier solution that provides superior protection to drivers as well as road and construction crews.

  • Zoneguard™ length, 12m per panel
  • Zoneguard™ is a cost effective alternative to the traditional concrete barriers
  • Zoneguard™ lightweight configuration allows 180m (3 units high) to be hauled on one truck and installed approximately 300m an hour
  • It is tested to meet the requirements of NCHRP350 TL3 and TL4 making it the most extensively tested and cost efficient portable protection system available in Australia
  • Zoneguard™ rigid-cross section and low centre of gravity enables deflections which are comparable heavier temporary concrete barrier alternatives
  • Zoneguard™ offers maximum safety standards, while ensuring cost effective and efficient protective barriers

TAU 11 End Treatment

Crash Cushions are safety devices whose primary function is to improve the safety of occupants of an errant vehicle that impact a rigid / semi rigid barrier or roadside hazards by absorbing the kinetic energy of an impact. Low speed crash cushions are generally gating systems while high speed crash cushions are generally non gating allowing controlled redirection of a vehicle.

These systems are typically applied to locations where head on or angled impacts are likely to occur. Placement and use of these systems should be accomplished in accordance to local road authority guidelines.

  • Approved to NCHRP 350 TL-1, 2 and 3
  • Fully re-directive crash cushion
  • Provided in lengths to suit 50kph – 100kph impact speeds
  • Low maintenance, high re-usability of system components
  • Delivered assembled
  • No debris build up due to open architecture

  • Approved to NCHRP 350 TL-2 by State Road Controlling Authorities
  • Lightweight modular design
  • Exceptional portability and highly visible
  • Lengths to suit the posted speed
  • No anchor to road surface, simplifying installation and no special lifting equipment required
  • Attaches to temporary concrete or steel barriers
