Crash cushion barrier end treatments are a critical safety device, which minimise the impact of traffic incidents on roadside worksites. Crash cushion attenuators are designed to absorb and disperse the energy generated during a vehicle collision, reducing the impact on drivers, passengers, nearby workers or equipment.
Crash cushions can be utilised in a variety of roadside applications where concrete or steel crash barriers have already been installed, including in highway roadwork zones to protect both crews and vehicles; at highway terminals to reduce the severity of incidents; in urban intersections with temporarily changed traffic conditions; and as a safety measure at toll booths or near bridges.
Our crash cushions have a MASH TL-3 rating. We offer both gated and non-gated crash cushions, as well as installation by accredited ASHTAS installers, to ensure optimal protection for road workers and users.
Coates offers crash cushions in both gated and non-gated versions. Gated cushions deflect the vehicle in a direction that points away from the protected area, while non-gated variants are designed to absorb impacts without directional release.
A crash cushion is engineered and constructed with materials that absorb energy in the event of a collision, reducing the force of the impact on the vehicle, its occupants and people in the surrounding area. They form an integral part of roadside safety systems, protecting both road users and construction workers carrying out necessary tasks.
Our crash cushions are certified in accordance with MASH standards, meaning they have been rigorously tested to meet strict safety requirements. Some crash cushions with a MASH TL-3 rating are certified for use in speed zones up to 100 km/h, while others are capped at 80 km/h. For more information, contact a Traffic Product Specialist.
