MASH TL2
MASH Test Level (TL) 2 crash test impacts are performed at 70 km/h. Impacts are performed with a 1100 kg passenger car and 2270 kg pick-up truck. Safety barrier products evaluated to MASH TL2 are suited for urban environments where space is limited. The lower impact energy of a TL2 crash test minimises dynamic deflection reducing the clearance required between the safety barrier and roadside hazard. Â
An energy-absorbing, tangential end terminal, designed to minimise the severity of impacts occurring at the end of the safety barrier system.
The Universal TAU-M is fully re-directive and non-gating, providing safe vehicle containment and ride-down decelerations.
The system has a tension-based design along with an energy-absorbing coupler that utilises an innovative cutting-tooth technology.
Lo-Ro is a water-filled plastic safety barrier system designed for low-speed environments typically encountered on local roadways.
Featuring water filled elements and tension straps to absorb vehicle impact energy, the ABSORB-M does not require ground anchors.
QUASH is a high performance non-redirective, gating crash cushion designed to shield the blunt end of the TALL42 movable concrete barrier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the impact speed of MASH TL2 crash testing?
Crash tests performed in accordance with MASH TL2 are performed at 70km/h.
What are the design benefits of installing MASH TL2 guardrail end terminals and crash terminals?
A TL2 guardrail end terminal or crash cushion will provide a reduced length when compared to a TL3 configuration. A reduced length is often preferred on urban roadways where space may be limited.Â
Can I install a MASH TL3 compliant device in lieu of a TL2 system?
Yes. If space permits a TL3 can be installed on lower speed roadways.Â
