RamShield

The range of MASH compliant RamShield W-Beam and Thrie-Beam roadside safety barrier systems have significantly advanced the containment level of guardrail barriers by introducing patented technology into the behaviour of the supporting post during impact. This results in a safer barrier design with fewer components allowing more metres of barrier to be deployed per public dollar to protect Australian motorists.

RamShield crash barriers achieve controlled redirection of errant vehicles by releasing the rail from the post at an optimal load to retain rail height, limit dynamic deflection and to allow the post to collapse without tripping the vehicle. The separation of the rail from the post is achieved by a release tab incorporated into the post regulating the force required to release the rail throughout the impact zone.

RamShield posts are designed to collapse upon impact yielding proximate to the ground surface. This distinguishes RamShield barriers from heavier post systems which rely on the post rotating in the ground prior to collapse. The RamShield post collapsing near the ground surface ensures more reliable performance that is not as dependent on soil conditions. Moreover, the collapse mechanism of the post makes RamShield barriers suitable for use in concreted mowing strips and deep asphalt applications.
