SKT 350 End Treatment

/

The SKT 350 (Sequential Kinking Terminal) is an energy absorbing tangent terminal. The SKT is 50'-0" long and has 8 breakaway posts. 

During head-on impacts, the SKT head slides over the W-beam guardrail. The rail is sequentially kinked or bent as it moves through the head. The kinked guardrail exits the head safely and the vehicle is brought to a controlled stop. When impacted along the side within the length-of-need, the SKT functions like guardrail. The errant vehicle is safely redirected back toward its original travel path.

The Slotted Rail Terminal (SRT-350™) is a gating, flared end terminal and is available in a 6-Post and 8-Post System.

SRT/HBA 6-Post System:

  • 2 steel breakaway posts that are typically reusable after NCHRP Report 350 criteria impacts.
  • 4 wood CRT posts
  • installed in a straight-line flare that offers a simple layout on new installations.

SRT 8-Post System:

  •  2 tube sleeves/wood posts
  • 6 wood CRT posts
  • installs on a parabolic flare. The parabolic flare has a “footprint” similar to the previously used BCTs and MELTs, making replacement easier. 

Smart Cushion 350

The Smart Cushion 350 is a fully redirective, non-gating, bidirectional Impact Attenuator.  It was designed for safety and reusability.

All required NCHRP 350 tests were performed with the same unit with no required replacement parts. Safety comes first with the SCI100GM as it provides lower average ridedown G forces due to the fact that it is a speed dependent system instead of fixed force.

It requires minimal spare parts inventories due to the new side panel design which minimizes damage and snag potential on side impacts.
