How Does A Crash Barrier Work?

Crash Barriers work by absorbing the forces of an impact with a vehicle and transferring the load to the Crash Barrier.

Some systems use a strong, more rigid posts to transfer the load to the posts as well as the horizontal beams so they do not deflect so much under impact.

Other types use weaker posts that give way and the load is mainly transferred to the horizontal beam meaning it deflects more but is safer for the occupants of the vehicle.

Speak to us if you need a crash barrier

At Barrier Mart we appreciate how crucial barriers are for making impacts softer. They can be the difference between life and death in many settings. It is important to choose the right design, especially considering the type of beam, height, and post. They must ensure that the barrier will perform well with different vehicles, speeds, and impact angles.

If you need a crash barrier for any kind of setting, we can help you to choose the right model. Then we can offer installation and ongoing support. So, get in touch today to maximise safety with great products and leading services.
